Selected by Le Delas for their slender shape and immaculate whiteness, Enoki mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes) are an ingredient of choice for chefs seeking verticality and lightness. Le Delas' choice responds to growing demand from professionals for products offering strong visual contrast and a unique texture that is both supple and crunchy. Also known as "golden needles", these mushrooms grow in tight clusters of thread-like stems topped with tiny caps. Their subtle flavour with fruity notes allows them to be incorporated into delicate dishes without overpowering the other ingredients. Le Delas' selection guarantees optimal freshness and no yellowing, ensuring a flawless result from the pantry to the final plate.
Culinary uses, preparation and storage
Enoki mushrooms have many uses and are particularly appreciated for their ability to absorb flavours while retaining their appearance.
► Broths and infusions: This is the classic use in Asian cuisine. Added at the last minute to a hot broth, ramen or shabu-shabu, they cook instantly and add a very delicate texture.
► Creative presentations: Used whole, they can be used to create layers of height on a fish tartare, carpaccio or seasonal salad. Their graphic appearance immediately enhances an appetiser or starter.
► Quick cooking: Sautéed very briefly in butter or oil with a little garlic, they elegantly accompany scallops or poultry.
► Preparation: Cut the base of the clump by about 2 to 3 centimetres to release the stems. There is no need to wash them; simply brushing them or running them quickly under a stream of water is enough to preserve their fragile structure.
► Storage: Must be kept cool between +2°C and +5°C. It is recommended to keep them in their original packaging to protect them from excessive moisture and preserve their firmness.
