enoki mushrooms on plate

Spicy Enoki Mushrooms

These Spicy Enoki Mushrooms are perfect for your next mukbang night. They have an incredibly crunchy texture and I am always looking for an opportunity to make them. The gochujang sauce is very flavorful and has a moderate spice level. You can alter the gochujang to your own taste or even add chili flakes to make it super spicy.

Ingredients
  

Gochujang sauce

Enoki mushrooms

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, toasted sesame oil, water, and Buldak sauce.
  • Cut off the brownish roots of the enoki mushrooms. Try to leave a bit of the connected parts so they don't separate into their individual strands. Wash under tap water and then pat them dry with paper towels. Break each bundle into 3 or 4 smaller bundles.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add half the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining half.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the empty pan. Immediately add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sauce mixture and bring to a simmer.
  • Return the mushrooms to the pan and cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes, flipping once in between, until the sauce reduces slightly and the mushrooms are evenly coated. Serve immediately.

Notes

Spice Level: If you like it SUPER SPICY, try adding sliced Thai chili peppers or a ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
