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 flavor
of the mushrooms, add them at the end of the cooking process.
Buying and storing tips
When purchasing fresh enoki mushrooms, select mushrooms with firm, white, shiny caps. Avoid
purchasing enoki mushrooms with slimy or brownish stalks. Enoki mushrooms keep up to 14 days
in the refrigerator if stored in a paper bag.
Varieties
Most commercially available enoki mushrooms are the pale white cultivated variety.
