Tempura Battered Enoki Mushrooms with Dipping Sauce

This quick and simple recipe is a great way to enjoy enoki mushrooms, using a light tempura-style batter for a crisp finish. Perfect as a snack, side dish, or sharing plate, it works especially well served straight from the pan with a punchy dipping sauce.

Method

1. Place the rice flour in a bowl and add the seasonings.

2. Make a well in the flour and gradually add water, mixing to form a loose, pancake-style batter.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or deep pan.

4. Break the enoki mushrooms into strands, dip into the batter and deep fry for a few minutes until golden.

5. Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately.

These work particularly well with a garlic and lemon dip or a sweet chilli-based dipping sauce for contrast and heat.
