Two Ways to Make Enoki Mushroom Pancakes for Kids
Enoki Mushroom Side Dishes for a 35-Month-Old and a 12-Month-Old (2 Recipes)
My older child is 35 months old, and my younger one is 12 months old. Given the age gap and the fact that my younger child has just started solid foods, I prepare dishes differently to suit their needs, avoiding strong flavors or tough textures. Today, I’m sharing two enoki mushroom recipes: one is a slightly seasoned ‘Enoki Chicken’ (inspired by a recipe from ‘Pyeonstorang’ by Han Ji-hye), and for my younger child, I made a simple enoki mushroom pancake cooked in egg. These are perfect for both picky eaters and adventurous toddlers!
Enoki Chicken for the Older Child (Slightly Seasoned)- 100g Enoki mushrooms
- 1 Tbsp starch (or tempura flour)
- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Egg
- Pinch of black pepper
Soft Enoki Mushroom Pancake for the Younger Child (Plain Version)- 100g Enoki mushrooms
- 1 Tbsp starch (or pancake mix)
- 1 Egg
- 100g Enoki mushrooms
- 1 Tbsp starch (or pancake mix)
- 1 Egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, clean the enoki mushrooms. Trim off the root end. For the older child, cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm long. For the younger child, cut them even smaller, around 1-2 cm, to make them easier to chew and swallow.
Step 2
In separate bowls, place the prepared enoki mushrooms. Add 1 tablespoon of starch to each bowl and mix well to coat the mushrooms. For the older child’s batter, add 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of black pepper for a touch of savory flavor.
Step 3
Crack one egg into each bowl. Whisk the egg and mix it thoroughly with the enoki mushrooms, starch, and seasonings until a cohesive batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps and everything is evenly combined.
Step 4
Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-low heat. Spoon portions of the batter into the pan, forming small pancakes. Cook until golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides. These delicious and nutritious enoki mushroom pancakes are ready to be enjoyed by your little ones, catering to their individual tastes!
