Enoki Mushrooms
Be gentle with enoki mushrooms: The delicate, round-capped strands are best when used raw in salads or when added at the last minute to soups and stir-fries so their crunchy texture and bright white color remain. Sold in bunches, enoki mushrooms should look dry and have a bright-white color. Trim off the clumped ends and rinse only as much as needed to remove any dirt.
