Enokitake

Enokitake are long and thin mushrooms with tiny caps on one end, characterized by their mild, slightly fruity flavor and an unusual visual appearance. The mushrooms are commonly used in numerous Asian dishes, particularly in the cuisines of Japan, China, and Vietnam.

Their crispy texture makes them ideal for dishes such as nabemono and sukiyaki, but enokitake are also often used in soups, salads, and stir-fries. The mushrooms are very easily cultivated and are grown in clusters. Rich in antioxidants, enokitake can be found either fresh or canned in numerous Asian stores.
