This 15-minute dish with enoki mushrooms, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, and sesame oil is super easy to make and so flavorful. 

Enoki Mushrooms with Garlic & Scallion Sauce

These adorable mushrooms have a tender-crisp texture, they are packed with umami flavor, and are great in soups, as a side dish, with rice, grilled, or in place of noodles.  My daughter has been asking me to make a recipe using enoki mushrooms ever since she had them at a hot pot restaurant a few months ago. I found a super quick and simple recipe on The Woks of Life that sounded delicious and used flavors, which my kids both love. The entire batch was devoured in minutes and we all thought they were excellent.

  1. I don’t believe I’ve ever had these mushrooms but they look delicious in your dish and I know I would enjoy it. Now that the word umami is showing up frequently, I going to have to figure out just what the taste is.
