Fried Enoki Mushrooms

Watch how to make it here

This fried enoki mushroom recipe is crispy, savory, and chewy. They are a quick and easy way to enjoy a light meal or snack.

Notes:

  1. Vermicelli bundles can be found at most Asian grocery stores or online here. The Vietnamese word for it is “Banh Hoi” or sometimes it is labeled as ‘Fine Rice Woven Vermicelli Noodles’.
  2. There are many ways to enjoy fried enoki but my favorite way is to balance it with vermicelli bundles, lettuce, cucumbers, pickled carrot and daikon radish, and sweet chili sauce. You can find my pickled carrot and daikon radish recipe here.
  3. The fried enoki mushrooms are best enjoyed immediately.

Heat up the vegetable oil in a pot. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter in the pot. If bubbles begin to form, then it is ready. Add the enoki in the pot being careful not to overcrowd it. Cook for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
