Enoki mushrooms with garlic & scallion sauce
Enoki mushrooms with garlic & scallion sauce
There is nothing new about Enoki mushrooms (a.k.a. enokitake). We’ve always loved them! Enoki is the Japanese name for them. We Chinese call them “golden needle mushrooms” (金针菇, jin-zhen-gu) or “lily mushrooms.”
Enoki mushrooms are usually vacuum-packed, in packages of about 7 ounces apiece, and they have a pretty long shelf life when refrigerated.
When fresh, the color should be white, and the stems should be firm. Trim away about 1-inch of the roots, give them a quick rinse, and you are ready to go!
When used in soups and hot pots, it’s a sidekick, but when blanched (or steamed) and dressed in a yummy sauce, it becomes a main character!

Step 1: Prepare
Be gentle when handling these enoki mushrooms. Trim away about 1-inch of the root section. Use your fingers to tear the enoki mushrooms into small bite-size bundles and line them up neatly.
Step 2: Rinse clean and drain.
Step 3: Blanch the mushrooms
Prepare a wok with boiling water, and blanch the enoki mushrooms in two batches, cooking each batch for about 1 minute. Drain off the water and transfer the mushrooms to your serving plate.
Step 4: Cook the sauce
In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook for about 10 seconds (no need to brown the garlic).
Now add the light soy sauce, sugar, and scallions. Bring the sauce to a boil, and turn off the heat.
Mushroom Lady tip: Don’t overcook the garlic and scallions--we want that fresh and sweet taste! Slowly pour the sauce over the enoki mushrooms, and serve.
