Welcome back the lovely mom, Han Ji-hye, on Pyeonstaurant with her Enoki Mushroom Chicken Nuggets! I was amazed by how she effortlessly creates wonderful side dishes even after becoming a mother. This recipe is perfect for parents who want to make delicious snacks for their children but are short on time. Experience the delightful combination of chewy enoki mushrooms and a crispy coating! Curious if it really tastes like chicken nuggets? Let’s make these super simple enoki chicken nuggets with easy-to-find ingredients!
Main Ingredients- 200g Enoki mushrooms
- 3 Tbsp Potato starch
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- Pinch of Black pepper
- 1 Tbsp Minced green onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 200g of enoki mushrooms and 2 eggs for cooking. Preparing fresh ingredients is the beginning of a delicious dish.
Step 2
Rinse the enoki mushrooms thoroughly under running water and trim off the base. Then, finely chop them into pieces about 0.5cm thick. This will help them mix well into the batter and improve the texture.
Step 3
In a large bowl, place the chopped enoki mushrooms. Add 3 tablespoons of potato starch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and freshly ground black pepper (about 6 twists from a grinder, or use pre-ground pepper). Mix these ingredients well with your hands, coating the enoki mushrooms with the starch and soy sauce mixture. Finally, crack in 2 eggs and mix everything together until a cohesive batter is formed. Continue mixing until it has a slightly sticky consistency.
Step 4
For added flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of minced green onion to the finished batter. The refreshing aroma of green onions will complement the enoki mushrooms, making the nuggets even more special.
Step 5
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the oil is moderately hot, spoon the batter into the pan, forming round nugget shapes. You can gently flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Step 6
Once one side is golden brown, flip the nuggets and cook the other side until golden brown and crispy. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning, ensuring they cook evenly on both sides. They should be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
Step 7
Wow, they look incredibly appetizing! The golden-brown, crispy enoki mushroom chicken nuggets are sure to make your mouth water.
Step 8
Arrange the beautifully cooked enoki chicken nuggets on a plate. I served mine with ketchup. While they tasted like delicious pancakes when dipped in soy sauce, dipping them in ketchup truly gave them a chicken nugget feel! While they don’t taste exactly like chicken, the combination of the chewy enoki mushrooms and the crispy exterior makes them a hit with kids. They’re also a fantastic idea for adults as a snack or a side dish with drinks!
