Enoki Mushroom! Have you ever tried these long skinny Japanese mushrooms? They are a delight to cook and eat – let me show you the best enoki mushroom recipe.
Mushrooms may be one of my favorite foods for their versatility, taste, and nutrition. We’ve looked at some fun varieties in the past: Lion’s Mane, Oyster, and Chanterelle. If you favor a plant-based diet as I do, mushrooms are a fantastic replacement for meat. Hello Portobello Wellington and Vegan Mushroom Gravy!
The fun Enoki mushroom variety deserves its own article and is the type of mushroom I’ve been cooking most often lately. We first discovered the Enoki at our local Asian market, and have been experimenting with them for a few years now to bring you the best Enoki mushroom recipes and tips. Like Masago and Oshinko, Enoki may or may not be new to you.
What is Enoki Mushroom Anyways?
Enoki is a long skinny mushroom you find in bundles attached to a root. It is common in Japanese cooking and can be enjoyed on its own as a side dish, over rice, in soups or ramen, fried, or in sushi.
Enoki has a very mild flavor and is quite noodle-like. They are best made with other flavorful ingredients, such as an umami-rich sauce, soup, or in sushi.
Where to Buy – Enoki Mushrooms Near Me
If you want to try prepared Enoki before cooking them yourself, you can find them in many Japanese and sushi restaurants. One of my favorite local sushi restaurants, Arigato, has many amazing dishes made with Enoki.
Raw enoki can be found in approximately 200 grams/7 oz. bundles in some grocery stores that have a wide variety of mushrooms. Here in Santa Barbara, I find them at Gelson’s. Asian Markets (I go to Nikka) also usually carry this type of mushroom.
How to Cook Enoki Mushrooms
Enoki mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked. Like other mushrooms, they can be dirty and need to be cleaned first.
- Sautè. These long skinny mushrooms cook very quickly. 2 or 3 minutes in a pan on the stove with a little oil is all it takes.
- Bake. You can also bake them in a foil packet with your favorite sauce in the oven at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Microwave. Place cleaned and trimmed mushrooms in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a plate. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, then season to taste.
- Soups and Ramen. Add Enoki to your boiling broth for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Stir Fry. Enoki cooks more quickly than many other veggies, so add during the last 2-3 minutes of stir-frying, then add your sauce.

Prepare a cast-iron skillet with oil and warm it over low to medium heat. Cook the mushrooms for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing them around the pan occasionally.
