Main Ingredients- 2 packs Enoki mushrooms
- 110g smoked ham
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 Tbsp tempura powder or pancake mix
- 4 eggs
Golden Dipping Sauce- 2 Tbsp tuna extract
- 1 Tbsp citron (yuja) syrup
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp tuna extract
- 1 Tbsp citron (yuja) syrup
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the 110g of smoked ham into bite-sized pieces. Briefly blanching it in boiling water helps remove impurities and ensures a cleaner taste.
Step 2
Once blanched, finely mince the smoked ham, but not so fine that you lose the texture. You want a slight chewiness that releases the ham’s flavor with every bite.
Step 3
Trim the tough base from the enoki mushrooms with a knife. Separate the mushroom strands and then chop them into manageable pieces. It’s important to retain their signature chewy texture.
Step 4
Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and dice it finely. This adds a beautiful pop of color and boosts the nutritional value of the pancake.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine the chopped enoki mushrooms, smoked ham, and bell pepper. Crack in the 4 eggs and mix everything thoroughly with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Step 6
Now, add 2 tablespoons of tempura powder or pancake mix to the mixture and stir again until you have a uniform batter. Make sure there are no lumps of powder.
Step 7
The key here is to use NO water! Instead of salt, season the batter with 2 tablespoons of savory tuna extract. The moisture from the enoki mushrooms and eggs will provide the perfect consistency.
Step 8
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon dollops of the batter into the pan and fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Using two spoons to help shape and flip the pancakes makes the process much easier.
Step 9
Let’s make the ‘Life-Changing Enoki Mushroom Pancake’ dipping sauce to complement these amazing pancakes. Start by mixing 1 tablespoon of citron syrup and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. The citrusy notes from the citron syrup cut through any richness beautifully.
Step 10
Add another 2 tablespoons of tangy vinegar and mix well. Finally, finish with 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. This delicious sauce is perfect for dipping!
