Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pack enoki mushrooms (about 5 oz)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 green onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Trim the root ends off the enoki mushrooms and separate them into smaller, manageable bundles to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochugaru, sesame oil, minced garlic, sugar, and water. Stir well to create a balanced spicy and savory sauce.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms: Heat the prepared sauce in a pan over medium heat. Add the enoki mushrooms and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until they become tender but still retain some texture.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from heat. Garnish the mushrooms with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish or snack.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of gochugaru to control the spice level.
  • Do not overcook the enoki mushrooms; they should remain tender and slightly crisp.
  • Serve alongside rice or as part of a Korean-style meal.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
