Enoki mushrooms

[cherrycherry]

Please could anyone give me a good idea for cooking enoki mushrooms that would be filling enough for a main course? Either that, or a favourite recipe for a side dish which could be a change from a soy sauce-based recipe. Many thanks for any help.

Main - make a rissotto and add some cashews for extra protein and some fresh soy beans for colour..

Side - stir fry the mushrooms with pak choi with a dash of oyster sauce.

thank you...it all sounds delicious (especially the oyster sauce, which hadn't occurred to me).

Glad to help - - - don't forget that if you make too much of the main it freezes really well. Use within 3 months.

Mandarin Noodles with
Sauteed Tenderloin and Vegetables
Recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck

1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces tenderloin steak, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup julienned mixed vegetables, such as carrots, asparagus
1 ounce enoki mushrooms
1/2 cup quartered shiitake mushroom caps
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup plum wine
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup beef stock
2 cups cooked Chinese egg noodles
2 tablespoons rice wine
8 to 10 endive leaves
2 tablespoon chopped green onion

In a large skillet or wok, heat the peanut oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Over high heat, add the tenderloin strips and lightly sear on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.

Add the vegetables, enoki and shiitake mushrooms, scallion, ginger, and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Deglaze the pan with plum wine, add the cinnamon and reduce by half. Add the beef stock and continue to reduce until slightly thickened. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.

Add the cooked noodles, the reserved meat, and the rice wine, and just heat through. Correct seasoning, to taste.

Place the endive around the edges of a large platter. Spoon the steak, noodles, and sauce in the center of the endive and garnish with chopped scallions. Serve immediately.

Thank you so much BBW, I don't like cinnamon but I presume the recipe would be fine without it and I am looking forward to trying it soon. Hope you are well

Cherry honey - I am fine and thank you very much for asking - I hope you are well too.

I am constantly changing a recipe to suit me - sometimes the first time I make it and almost always the second time I find things I want to leave out or add more of, etc.!!!

Just make it your own - to YOUR tastes - like I do:)

Thanks again BBW, I always like reading your recipe suggestions cos they are inspirational but not so outlandish that the ingredients would be impossible to find. Best wishes
