Spicy Korean Enoki Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 2 packs enoki mushrooms
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp coarse gochugaru
• 1 tbsp gochujang
• 1/2 tbsp corn syrup (can substitute with honey)
• 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/3 cup water
• Green onions, chopped
• Red chilies, chopped
• Sesame seeds

Directions

• Prepare the enoki mushrooms by trimming off the root section and gently rinsing them under cold water to remove any debris. Slice the mushrooms into thin sections, then set aside.
• Prepare the spicy sauce by combining the gochugaru, gochujang, corn syrup, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
• Heat the 2 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat, and sear the enoki mushrooms on both sides until lightly golden.
• Pour in the spicy sauce and let simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
• Top with green onions, chili, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Adjust the sauce to your spice tolerance. Great as a side alongside protein or noodles, or as a snack. From Ian Rivero on Instagram; full recipe at iankewks.com.
