Enoki Mushrooms

My friend S and I were sampling foods at the Asian grocery store on the weekend. I think this may become a habit. We came upon a lady preparing Enoki mushrooms and I felt like I was at a cooking demonstration. She simply cut the mushrooms up, added some chopped green onions, salt and pepper and made little 2 inch omelettes for sampling. The mushrooms were on sale if you purchased 2 packages, so I purchased 2 packages.  I had never cooked them before. They have a crunchy texture, and beyond that, a very bland flavour. But it is simple and quick to prepare. I added ham to my dish below.

I also took one of the recipe cards, and apparently they can be eaten raw in salads.  It is a Japanese mushroom.

I have used these and find them quite good, especially in salads.

wow! That looks so delicious! With the addition of ham, that would be over the top. I think I'll make an omelet for breakfast.

I've never tried them. Omelette sounds good.

I was scared to click on the title to come here, that I might be craving for enoki and have to go to town.
