Instructions:

1. Remove the stem of enoki mushroom bundles with a knife and wash

2. Slice enoki mushrooms from the stem to the bulb into 3 - 4 layers depending on how round the bundle is

3. Break the bigger (now sliced) bundles into halves or thirds

4. Lay all the bundles onto a paper toile and pat dry lightly

5. Prepare batter by mixing all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, oil oil, and salt together

6. Add iced cold water into mixture while mixing (you may end up needing a tad more water depending on the viscosity) until you reach a “pancake batter” consistency

7. Heat up oil in the pan with enough oil to partially immerse the enoki mushrooms for shallow frying

8. Evenly coat enoki mushrooms into the batter; allow the excess batter to drip off before moving into the pan

9. Fry enoki mushrooms without overcrowding the pan

10. Flip enoki mushrooms over when the first side starts to turn slightly brown

11. Transfer the fried enoki mushrooms to a plate with paper towel to absorb the excess oil from frying

12. Drizzle Four Season Scallion Sauce all over fried enoki mushrooms and serve!
