Enoki mushrooms are thin Japanese mushrooms I sometimes see at bigger grocery stores, but most often find at Asian markets. These mushrooms are skinny and come in bundles. They are delicious and super versatile and can be prepared a number of different ways. This enoki mushroom recipe is super simple with only a few ingredients and it takes less than 10 minutes to make.
Enoki mushrooms can also be be used in stir fries, ramen, soups or as an ingredient in other recipes, like dumplings. It is not recommended to eat them raw, but other than that there are many ways to prepare them and use them.

Ingredients
- Enoki mushrooms
- Sesame oil
- Soy sauce
- Siracha
I like to serve this over steamed rice with a few thinly sliced scallions on top too!
Directions
Cut about one inch off the bottom of the mushrooms, removing any roots or debris. Then wash and pat dry the mushrooms, separating the bundles some as you do.
Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and turn frequently, cooking for about 2-3 minutes. Then pour in the soy and sriracha, coating the mushrooms. Turn them a few times so all sides of each small bundle get cooked.
Serve over steamed rice with a few chopped scallions on top.
