Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s begin preparing the delicious Enoki Mushroom Pancake, as taught by Altoran chefs! First, gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe.
Step 2
It’s important to wash the enoki mushrooms thoroughly under running water. First, trim off the base of the mushroom. Then, holding the mushroom cluster together with your hand, rinse it carefully under running water, ensuring the roots are clean. This helps the mushrooms maintain their shape and not fall apart during cooking.
Step 3
Prepare the Cheongyang and red chili peppers by removing their stems, rinsing them, and then finely mincing them. Adding minced chili peppers enhances the pancake’s flavor and adds a beautiful color.
Step 4
In a large bowl, crack 4-5 fresh eggs. Add 3 tablespoons of cooking wine and 1 tablespoon of salted shrimp. The salted shrimp will add a depth of umami flavor, elevating the taste of the enoki mushrooms.
Step 5
To the egg mixture, add 3 tablespoons of pancake mix or all-purpose flour. Whisk well with a whisk or chopsticks until smooth and lump-free.
Step 6
For an even smoother texture, strain the mixed egg batter through a fine-mesh sieve. This ensures a smooth and uniform batter without any lumps of flour.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to use the prepared egg batter.
Step 8
Add the minced Cheongyang and red chili peppers to the strained egg batter.
Step 9
Stir gently to combine the chili peppers evenly with the egg batter. This creates a well-seasoned batter with balanced flavor and color for the enoki mushroom pancake.
Step 10
Heat a pan with a generous amount of cooking oil. Arrange the washed enoki mushrooms in a circular shape on the pan. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil evenly over the mushrooms as they cook to add a nice crispiness and flavor.
Step 11
Once the enoki mushrooms start to release some moisture, slowly pour the prepared egg batter over the mushrooms, beginning from the center and working outwards.
Step 12
Pour the egg batter evenly over the mushrooms, as if coating them. This allows the batter to seep between the mushrooms, making the pancake even more delicious.
Step 13
When the egg batter begins to set slightly, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 30-40 seconds until golden brown. Controlling the heat is crucial to prevent burning.
Step 14
Once the pancake is partially cooked, prepare a plate slightly larger than the pancake. Invert the pan over the plate, then carefully tilt the pan to transfer the pancake onto the plate.
Step 15
Cook the flipped pancake for another 30 seconds on low heat to finish. This process ensures a crispy exterior and a moist interior for the Enoki Mushroom Pancake.
Step 16
Carefully transfer the perfectly cooked Enoki Mushroom Pancake to a serving plate. Behold the appetizing Altoran Enoki Mushroom Pancake – it’s ready!
Step 17
Slice the finished pancake into bite-sized pieces, like a pizza, or cut it into your preferred shape and size to enjoy.
Step 18
The chewy texture of the enoki mushrooms is truly delightful. Enjoy a healthy and delicious meal with this nutritious Enoki Mushroom Pancake!
