Let’s make it.

Follow the food, not just the clock.
  1. 01

    Prepare mushrooms and aromatics

    Trim the enoki base, separate into small loose clusters, wash and drain. Wash and chop scallion and mince garlic. Clean any board or strainer that touched raw mushrooms before using it for cooked ones.

    Look for

    The mushrooms are separated into small loose clusters with chopped aromatics beside them.

    Cook enoki thoroughly

    Bring water to a boil, add enoki and separate the clusters. After boiling resumes, set a 2 min check. Continue until every cluster is thoroughly cooked and steaming hot throughout, following package directions; softness alone is insufficient.

    Look for

    Clusters are fully separated and evenly softened in actively boiling water.

    Drain and mix dressing

    Drain thoroughly in a clean strainer and transfer to a clean bowl. In another bowl, mix soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and optional sugar and sesame oil until any sugar dissolves.

    Look for

    Cooked mushrooms have no pooled water and the dressing has no visible sugar grains.

    Toss and serve promptly

    Pour dressing over the enoki, add scallion and optional chili oil and toss gently. Serve after brief cooling, or refrigerate promptly for a chilled dish rather than leaving it at room temperature.

    Look for

    The dressed enoki strands remain separate with scallion scattered through them.
