1. Can I use a different type of mushroom instead of enoki?

Yes, you can swap out enoki mushrooms for shiitake, button, or oyster mushrooms. Keep in mind that different mushrooms may require slightly different cooking times, but they’ll still give you that delicious, savory flavor.

2. Do I have to blanch the mushrooms first?

Blanching the mushrooms helps soften them and clean them properly. However, if you’re in a rush, you can skip this step and sauté the mushrooms directly in the pan after cleaning them well.

3. Can I make the dish spicier?

Absolutely! For an extra kick, try adding chili flakes or some sliced fresh chili peppers when frying the garlic. Adjust it to your desired spice level.

4. Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, just use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce substitute instead of regular soy sauce. This ensures the dish is suitable for anyone with gluten sensitivities.

5. Can I prepare the sauce in advance?

Yes, you can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, simply blanch the mushrooms, heat the sauce, and combine. It’s a great time-saver for busy days!
