Yen Can Cook ~ Enoki Mushroom & Fish Paste Patty

I never thought Enoki Mushroom can be made into patty! Normally how do you cook Enoki Mushrooms? Steamed with garlic, deep fried in batter, vegetables stir fry and add into soup are some of the different ways to cook Enoki Mushrooms.

Enoki Mushrooms, its Chinese name Jin Zhen Gu (金针菇), which literally means golden noodle mushroom, somehow describes its unique look: a cluster of long, thin white stems with tiny white caps on the top. Unlike popular Asian mushrooms like shiitake or king oyster, Enoki Mushroom has a rather mild flavour. Enoki mushrooms are full of nutrients that have anti-cancer properties and immune-boosting benefits.
