Introducing Asian Delicacy: Golden Enoki Mushrooms!

Golden enoki mushrooms, a prized variety of the enoki family, are known for their delicate, slightly crunchy texture and mild, fruity flavour. Unlike white enoki, which has a more neutral taste, the golden variety offers a subtle earthiness with a hint of sweetness, making it a versatile ingredient in a range of dishes. Their long, thin stems and small caps provide an elegant look, adding both visual appeal and a distinct texture to dishes. When cooked, these Asian mushrooms retain much of their firm structure, providing a satisfying bite without becoming overly soft or mushy.

Golden Enoki Cooking Suggestions

• Sauteing: Lightly saute in butter or olive oil to maintain its delicate texture and enhance its natural flavour.
• Stir-frying: Stir-fry with garlic, ginger and soy sauce for a quick and flavourful side dish.
• Mixing: Add to soups and broths, such as miso or ramen, where it will soften but retain a bit of crunch.
• Grilling: Grill or roast with a light coating of oil and herbs for a smoky finish.
• Salads: Serve raw in salads or sushi for a crisp, fresh bite.
