Fried enoki mushrooms

Summary

Fried enoki mushrooms offer the ultimate crunchy bite with a light, airy texture and a savory twist. the batter settles into the mushrooms' nooks and crannies, creating a delightfully crispy coating that pairs perfectly with any dipping sauce. we recommend spicy mayo, sweet chili sauce, ponzu, or soy sauce. sparkling water helps keep the batter light, so it's worth seeking out, but regular water works in a pinch.
