Don't throw away the roots of newly bought enoki mushrooms; put them in water and they can still grow several more bunches
I wonder what dishes everyone must order every time they eat hot pot? Is it seafood or mushrooms? Is it fatty beef or lamb? Is it a half-spicy half-clear broth pot or a clear broth pot? Huahua's must-order list always includes enoki mushrooms! I don't know why either, I just love eating them! The taste is really especially good!
But recently Huahua learned of a method: ordinarily, once you finish eating the enoki mushrooms you bought, that's that, but with this trick from Huahua, one bunch of enoki mushrooms can grow into several more bunches! It's really so practical, and Huahua can't wait to tell everyone!
We cut off the root portion of the enoki mushrooms we bought, and then the rest of the enoki mushrooms can be eaten however we like. When buying, it's best to choose some that are relatively dense and have a bit of soil on the roots.
Prepare the container you're going to use to grow the enoki mushrooms, then add two spoonfuls of baking soda and some water to the container. It should be noted that the water must not be too much; it's best not to exceed half the height of the enoki mushroom roots. Put a wet wipe or cotton soft towel in the water, then put the enoki mushroom roots in, seal it up, and you can quietly wait for the enoki mushrooms to grow!
Actually, the principle is very simple: enoki mushrooms can grow freely in an alkaline environment, and because they are a fungus, we normally don't need to take care of them! The only thing to pay attention to is the ambient temperature for the enoki mushrooms. The most suitable ambient temperature for enoki mushroom growth is 5-10°C, so everyone can grow enoki mushrooms according to the temperature.
Actually, besides being used for hot pot, enoki mushrooms still have many ways of being prepared. Below, Huahua will introduce two enoki mushroom recipes for everyone!
1. Refreshing Enoki Mushrooms
This dish is actually very simple. It is a cold enoki mushroom salad, and only enoki mushrooms, chopped scallions, and seasonings are needed.
Blanch the enoki mushrooms briefly in hot water, drain the water, and set them aside. Chop the scallions, then put vegetable oil and sesame oil in a pan. When the oil temperature is about 70% hot, add the chopped scallions, and this makes scallion oil.
Mix vinegar, light soy sauce, salt, sugar, chili oil, and other seasonings in a small bowl. The exact proportions can be adjusted according to your own taste. Finally, just mix the scallion oil and seasoning sauce with the enoki mushrooms!
Enoki Mushroom Bacon Rolls
This dish is also relatively famous, and friends who often eat barbecue are no strangers to it. Put enoki mushrooms inside bacon and secure them with toothpicks. Put oil in the pan, and after heating the pan, you can put the bacon in to fry.
Then we use oyster sauce, salt, sugar, light soy sauce, and water to make a sauce. After the enoki mushrooms are fried, pour the sauce over them and they're ready to eat!
Aren't these two dishes very simple and great with rice? The simplicity of the process really makes them very suitable for office workers! I've gone a bit off topic. I wonder if the method Huahua taught everyone today for regrowing enoki mushrooms has helped you? If there are friends who like eating enoki mushrooms, definitely don't miss it. Just leave one root, and several more bunches can grow!
