Main Ingredients- 150g Enoki mushrooms
- 2 large Eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim the very bottom off the enoki mushrooms and rinse them thoroughly under running water. Gently pat them dry, then chop them into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm long. Finely chop the white part of the green onion. This helps to separate the mushroom clusters and adds a lovely aromatic touch.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the 2 fresh eggs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to season. You can also add a pinch of dried parsley flakes for a prettier color and extra flavor. Whisk the eggs gently with chopsticks or a whisk until well combined. Avoid over-whisking; a gentle mix is best.
Step 3
Now, add the prepared enoki mushrooms and chopped green onion to the egg mixture. Gently toss them together, ensuring each mushroom strand is coated with the egg batter. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as this can break up the mushrooms. The goal is to coat them evenly for a tender result.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully spoon portions of the enoki mushroom mixture into the hot pan, forming pancake shapes. Use a spoon or spatula to flatten them gently into neat, round pancakes. Aim for a moderate thickness for even cooking.
Step 5
Once the edges start to turn golden brown, carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. It’s important to maintain medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure they cook evenly. Once both sides are beautifully golden and the pancakes are cooked through, your delicious enoki mushroom pancakes are ready! Serve them warm. They are wonderful on their own or with a side of soy sauce dip or ketchup.
