Ingredient in the Spotlight: Enoki

Enoki is such an elegant mushroom. It's tall, skinny and has cute little mushroom caps. It was my favorite food as a kid. I was kinda a weird kid. I mean, who chooses to eat enoki over chocolate as a kid.

The great thing about enoki is that it's easy to prepare since you don't have to wash it much and it cooks fast. I wouldn't recommend eating it raw but you don't want to over cook it.

This website has a lot of good information about enoki mushrooms.

You want to cut off the roots but leave enough that they are still stuck together. You can pull them apart but keep clusters together for soups.
