Main Ingredients
- 1 packet Enoki Mushrooms (approx. 100g)
- 5 fresh Perilla Leaves
- 3 large Eggs, room temperature
- Canola oil or cooking oil, as needed
Seasoning and Aromatics
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, remove the packaging from the enoki mushrooms. Trim off about 1cm from the base of the mushroom bundle and prepare them cleanly.
Step 2
Cut the prepared enoki mushrooms in half. Then, finely chop the bottom, clustered part of the mushrooms with a knife. This will help them mix well with the perilla leaves.
Step 3
Trim off the stems from the perilla leaves. Wash them gently under running water and pat them dry.
Step 4
Once the perilla leaves are dry, roll them up tightly and thinly slice them into shreds. Gently separate the shredded leaves with your hands to prevent clumping.
Step 5
In a large bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Beat them thoroughly, ensuring the egg whites and yolks are well combined, and any stringy bits are removed.
Step 6
To the beaten eggs, add the chopped enoki mushrooms, shredded perilla leaves, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix everything together with a spatula or chopsticks until well combined and no clumps remain.
Step 7
Your delicious batter, with all ingredients evenly mixed, is now ready. We’ll proceed to cook the pancakes.
Step 8
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of canola oil. The pan is ready when the oil is shimmering.
Step 9
Using a ladle or a spoon, scoop about one spoonful of the batter and place it onto the hot pan. It’s best to make the pancakes slightly thick for a satisfying chew.
Step 10
Once the bottom side is golden brown and cooked, carefully flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and crispy. Your delicious Enoki Mushroom and Perilla Leaf Pancakes are now ready!
