Main Ingredients- 1 package enoki mushrooms (trim off the base)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour or pancake mix
- Cooking oil, as needed
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gather all your ingredients to prepare for making delicious Enoki Mushroom Pancakes. Using fresh ingredients will help bring out the wonderful chewy texture of the enoki mushrooms.
Step 2
It’s important to prepare the enoki mushrooms properly. First, trim off about 1-2 cm from the firm base of the enoki mushroom cluster. Then, gently separate the mushrooms into 2-3 portions by hand. This makes them easier to cook and eat.
Step 3
Lightly rinse the prepared enoki mushrooms under running water and drain them well. Place the rinsed mushrooms in a large bowl. Crack in 3 large eggs and add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour (or pancake mix). Stir gently to combine.
Step 4
To the bowl with enoki mushrooms, eggs, and flour, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt for seasoning. (Feel free to adjust the saltiness to your preference.) Using chopsticks or a spatula, lightly mix everything together, ensuring the mushrooms are coated evenly with the egg and flour mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the mushrooms mushy.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Instead of pouring the batter, use a spoon to scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and carefully place it onto the hot pan, shaping it into small, round pancakes. This helps create nicely shaped and evenly cooked pancakes.
Step 6
Once you’ve added the batter to the pan, maintain medium heat. When one side turns golden brown and starts to crisp up, carefully flip each pancake using a spatula or chopsticks. Cooking them evenly on both sides will ensure the perfect chewy texture of the mushrooms and the savory flavor of the egg.
Step 7
Cook each side for about 3-5 minutes, for a total of 6-10 minutes, until your Enoki Mushroom Pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent them from burning.
Step 8
These freshly made Enoki Mushroom Pancakes are delicious on their own, but they taste even better with a simple dipping sauce! Mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of sesame seeds for a sauce that doubles the nutty flavor. Enjoy them warm right off the pan!
