Main Ingredients

  • 10 sheets Rice paper wrappers
  • Water (cold)
  • Cooking oil (for deep frying)

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp Sriracha sauce

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the enoki mushrooms. Trim the root end of the enoki mushroom bunch with a knife. Then, rinse them gently under cold running water, focusing on the root area, to remove any dirt or debris. This ensures they are thoroughly clean.

Step 1

Step 2

After rinsing, place the enoki mushrooms in a colander to drain. Next, pat them dry using paper towels, pressing gently to absorb as much moisture as possible. Removing excess water is crucial for achieving a crispy texture and preventing oil splattering during frying.

Step 2

Step 3

Once the mushrooms are dry, separate them into manageable portions. You’ll be wrapping these portions in rice paper. Dividing them into about 10 bundles works well for this recipe. Feel free to adjust the bundle size according to your preference.

Step 3

Step 4

Now, let’s wrap the enoki mushrooms with rice paper. Fill a shallow dish with cold water. Dip one sheet of rice paper into the water for about 10 seconds until it becomes pliable, but not overly soft or tearing. Carefully place a bundle of enoki mushrooms onto the softened rice paper. Gently and tightly roll the rice paper around the mushrooms to form a neat package.

Step 4

Step 5

The rice paper-wrapped enoki mushrooms tend to stick together easily. To prevent this, ensure you arrange them with ample space between each one when placing them on a plate or into the frying pan. This spacing allows each piece to fry evenly and become delightfully crispy.

Step 5

Step 6

It’s time to fry the wrapped mushrooms! Pour a generous amount of cooking oil into a pot or deep pan and preheat it over medium-low heat. It’s important not to overheat the oil; a temperature of around 320-340°F (160-170°C) is ideal. The oil is ready when small bubbles gently rise from a wooden chopstick dipped into it.

Step 6

Step 7

Carefully add the wrapped enoki mushrooms to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown and wonderfully crispy. Use tongs to gently turn them over, ensuring they cook evenly on all sides for a beautiful, appetizing finish.

Step 7

Step 8

Let’s whip up a quick and tasty dipping sauce! In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce. Mix well until thoroughly combined. This creates a perfect balance of creamy and spicy. For a touch of sweetness, you can add a little honey or sugar if desired. Dip your crispy fried enoki mushrooms into this sauce for an explosion of flavor!
