Shop products for Enoki Mushroom 
Enoki mushrooms have a mild, delicate flavour, and are often used in Asian cooking.
The enoki mushroom, also called the velvet shank, has long, slender white stems, with tiny caps. Wild and cultivated enoki mushrooms grow in small clusters on live or dead tree trunks. Cultivated enoki mushrooms are paler in colour than wild enoki mushrooms. These mushrooms have a mild, delicate flavour, and are used extensively in Asian cooking.
Availability
Fresh and canned enoki mushrooms are sold in Asian food markets and some specialty markets.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Before using enoki mushrooms, rinse them thoroughly and trim off the roots at the base of the cluster. Enoki mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked. Add them to salads, sandwiches, soups, pasta sauces, and stir-fried rice and vegetable dishes. To retain the delicate flavour of the mushrooms, add them at the end of the cooking process.
