Crispy Fried Enoki Mushrooms - A Tasty Treat!

Are you looking for a fun and easy snack to make? Try deep frying some enoki mushrooms. These tasty fungi make the perfect crispy treat when fried up in a light batter.

Step 1: Harvesting Your Enoki Mushrooms

The first step is to gently remove your enoki mushrooms from the Mushroom Box. Be sure to handle them carefully to keep them intact. Use a knife to trim off the dirty bottom inch of the stems, then separate the mushrooms into smaller bunches about 1 inch wide at the base. Don't wash them - just brush off any dirt with a paper towel.

Making the Batter

Now it's time to make the batter to coat your mushrooms. In a bowl, mix together some flour, cornstarch, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Slowly add cold water while stirring until you have a smooth, thin batter. The cornstarch helps make the coating extra crispy!

Frying to Perfection

Heat some oil in a pot to 350°F. Dip the mushroom bunches into the batter, coating them all over. Let the extra batter drip off, then carefully place the battered mushrooms into the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and fry the other side for 1 more minute. Remove the fried mushrooms and place them on a paper towel to drain off any excess oil.

Time to Enjoy!

Sprinkle your crispy fried enoki mushrooms with a little salt and serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce. The light, crispy coating gives way to the tender, flavorful mushrooms inside. It's a tasty snack that's fun to make and even more fun to eat!
