How to Make Enoki Pancakes

Ingredients

• 100 g of Starch (corn or potato)
• 120 mL of Water
• 1 tbsp of Gluten-Free Soy Sauce
• 0.5 tbsp of Vegetable Oil
• 0.5 tsp of Ginger Powder
• 0.5 tsp of Black Pepper
• 4 Thin Red Chillies
• 1 Spring Onion Stalk
• 180 g of Enoki Mushrooms

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, blend all the ingredients except for the enoki mushrooms until you create a smooth and pourable batter.
2. Trim off the bottom end of the enoki stems and then divide the mushrooms into 12 bunches, one for each pancake. Shape the mushrooms into a lattice to form a round pancake shape.
3. Heat a frying pan and lightly grease it. Stir the batter, dip the mushroom lattice in, allowing any extra batter to drip off.
4. Place the dipped mushroom lattice into the hot skillet. Cook the pancake for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat until the bottom is golden and crispy.
5. Flip the pancake and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. Serve hot, topped with toasted sesame seeds and drizzled with soy sauce or vegan mayo, if desired.

How to Serve Enoki Pancakes

Enoki pancakes are best served hot and crispy. You can garnish them with toasted sesame seeds or drizzle some soy sauce or vegan mayo on top for extra flavor. They make a great appetizer or side dish alongside rice or a salad.

How to Store Enoki Pancakes

If you have leftover pancakes, let them cool completely before storing them. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet for a few minutes until heated through.

Tips to Make Enoki Pancakes

• For extra texture, you can add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or carrots to the batter.
• Make sure the frying pan is hot enough before adding the pancakes to achieve that crispy exterior.
• Experiment with different spices to customize the flavor to your liking.

Variation

You can try using other types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms, for a different taste. Additionally, you can make these pancakes spicier by adding more red chillies or some chili flakes.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of starch?
Yes, but this recipe is specifically designed to be gluten-free, so using starch is recommended for the best texture.

2. Are enoki mushrooms healthy?
Absolutely! Enoki mushrooms are low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with nutrients like vitamins B and D.

3. Can I freeze the pancakes?
Yes, you can freeze cooked pancakes. Just let them cool, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored for up to 2 months. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave when ready to serve.
