How to Make Enoki Mushroom Soup

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★

Essential Ingredients and Tools

  • Enoki mushrooms
  • Eggs (optional)

Measurements

Per serving:

  • Enoki mushrooms: 400-500 grams (one standard bag from the market is sufficient)
  • Salt: 15 grams
  • MSG: 5 grams

Instructions

  1. Separate the enoki mushrooms by hand as much as possible to avoid them getting stuck in your teeth. Wash and set aside.
  2. Cut the enoki mushrooms into segments using a kitchen or fruit knife. You can adjust the length according to your preference, but keep it under 5 cm.
  3. Place the enoki mushrooms in a pot and add enough water to cover them by about 1.1 times their height. Bring to a boil and wait for 3 minutes.
  4. Add MSG and salt, then stir.
  5. Continue heating for about 30 seconds, then turn off the heat and plate.

Additional Tips

  • If you prefer adding eggs to the soup, pour in beaten egg mixture after the water boils in step 3.
  • After plating, you can add 3-4 drops of sesame oil (or perilla oil) for extra aroma.
