Super easy enoki mushroom recipe in tomato paste soup!

I have not known this name enoki mushroom until one day I come across a recipe using it as the main ingredient. In Chinese languages, we call this nutritionally endowed mushroom—golden needle mushrooms. What a great name! Right? I guess enoki mushroom sounds like a Japanese name but I love it too. This soup today is a super easy soup of enoki mushroom seasoned with ketchup and garlic. All common ingredients and only 5 minutes needed.

If you are not new to my little blog, you may know that I just love spicy food because I grow up in a place where people eat lots of spices like chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorn. And I have posted a spicy version of enoki mushroom salad and I used them in a beef stir fry recipe. From all the experience, enoki mushrooms are proofed to be very yummy when cooked with spicy and sour seasonings. You have my words on that.

      I ended up using a whole carton of mushroom stock and a little bit of chicken stock. I added some extra spices. Absolutely amazing I can’t wait to eat it again! I added a little less ketchup and more spices and instead of a chili pepper I used Thai red pepper paste. It turned out amazing I feel any way you make it, it will be good!

  1. I was wondering the same about the 1/2 cup of water….doesn’t even seem like enough for one person. Recipe sounds good though. I’ll try with way more liquid.

    This was delicious! I didn’t have any Thai chili peppers so I used Thai Chili and garlic sauce instead (took the place of the garlic too) and it did the trick. Thank you! Definitely making again!
