Equipment

  • 1 x 10-inch frying pan

Ingredients
 
 

For the sauce

  • 2 tablespoons avoacdo mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons tamari soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon Sriracha sauce or more

For the crispy enoki

  • 7.05 ounces enoki mushrooms This is one package
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour (starch) Or potato starch
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For pan frying

  • ¼ cup avocado oil Or any neutral tasting oil. Add more as needed.

For topping

  • Thinly sliced scallions
  • Shichimi pepper

Instructions
 

  • Make the sauce by combining the mayonnaise, tamari soy sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha together. Set aside.
  • Cut off about 1-inch off at the bottom of the enoki, where you see the debris attached. With damp paper towels, wipe off any dirt left on the stem. Do not wash the enoki as it will prevent them from crisping. Separate into 20 small bundles.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the tapioca flour, paprika powder, garlic powder, white pepper and salt together. Mix well.
  • Coat the enoki bundles with the flour mix one by one.
  • Heat up the avocado oil in a pan. Cook the enoki bundles for about 1 minute per side or until golden brown. Add more oil if necessary in between the batches.
  • Once cooked, rest on a cooling rack (recommended) or paper towels to get rid of excess oil. The mushrooms crisp up more as they cool.
  • Sprinkle shichimi pepper and scallions. Serve with the spicy mayo sauce.

Notes

Many of the enoki packages come in 7.05oz/ 200g size. It is fine to be more or less.
