Ingredients

1 tablespoon gochujang
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons tamari soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
⅓ cup water
14.1 ounces enoki mushrooms or 2 packages
1 tablespoon olive oil

Toppings

Thinly sliced scallions
Toasted white sesame
Chili threads

Instructions

To make the sauce mix, combine the gochujang, crushed red pepper, tamari soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar and water together. Whisk well and set aside.
Cut off about 1-inch off at the bottom of the enoki, where you see the debris attached. Make sure not to cut too far up so the mushrooms can stay intact. Separate into small bundles - about 16 bundles in total.
Heat up the olive oil in a pan. Sear the enoki bundles in batches until golden brown.
Put all the enoki mushrooms back into the pan. (They can be squeezed tight). Pour the sauce mix over the enoki and let simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve the enoki on a plate and garnish with scallions, sesame and chili threads.

Notes

Work in batches when searing the enoki bundles. Crowding the pan will prevent it from browning and will steam the mushrooms. I usually cook 5 or 6 bundles at a time.
