Sprinkling the minced garlic evenly over the enoki mushrooms, I lightly tapped them, allowing the garlic fragrance to permeate every cell of the mushrooms. Carefully, I placed the plate into the steamer, gently closing the lid.A waft of fragrant steam escaped from the steamer, and I delicately inhaled, savoring the natural blend of garlic and enoki mushroom’s flavors, tantalizing my taste buds.

The golden enoki mushrooms had become tender, juicy, and infused with the rich aroma of garlic. I picked up one enoki mushroom, savoring its silky and flavorful texture.
