Enoki mushroom is long, thin mushroom with firm, crisp texture and has a shelf life of a week refrigerated. It is widely used in Japanese and Chinese cuisine. Enoki also known to Japanese as Enokitake.

If you go to Asian stores, enoki mushroom is also referred to as gold needle mushroom or gold mushroom.

It is good, plus it contains antioxidant beneficial to our health.

Enoki Mushroom is not commonly sold in my local grocery stores unlike other types of mushroom. I get this it in Asian stores, packaged fresh and reasonably priced.

How to Prepare Enoki  Mushroom

Take a bundle and trim about 1 inch of the root area. Gently separate each mushroom from each other. Place in a colander, wash and drain. Now, it’s ready to be used.
