This delicious enoki mushroom recipe is incredibly easy to make with just a few ingredients you likely already have on hand. 

How to Cook Enoki Mushrooms

You'll find a detailed ingredient list and step-by-step instructions in the recipe below, but let's go over the basics:

What Are Enoki Mushrooms? 

Enoki mushrooms are thin, delicate mushrooms. They have a mild flavor and crisp texture. They work well in all sorts of dishes, from soups and stews to stir-fries and omelets. They’re popular in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cuisines.

Where to Buy Enoki Mushrooms? 

Enoki mushrooms are available at many grocery stores, but you’ll likely have the best luck at specialty food stores like Whole Foods. They are available at most Asian food stores and are easy to find online. 

How to Season Enoki Mushrooms

Season the enoki mushrooms with garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and freshly grated ginger. The mushrooms are cooked in sesame oil, which also lends umami-rich flavor. 

How to Store Enoki Mushrooms

Store raw enoki mushrooms in a loosely covered container in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator for up to one week. It’s best to take them out of the plastic container they came in, as the plastic traps excess moisture and causes the mushrooms to spoil more quickly. 

Once the enoki mushrooms have been cooked, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
