What does ENOKI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A cultivated Japanese mushroom with long, thin white stems and tiny caps, eaten raw or lightly cooked.
Enoki mushrooms are grown in the dark, which is why the cultivated form is pale and slender compared with the darker, thicker wild variety that grows on tree stumps in colder months. They have a mild, faintly fruity flavour and a pleasantly crisp texture, so cooks often add them raw to salads or drop them briefly into soups, hot pots, and stir-fries near the end of cooking. The name comes from the Japanese word for the tree the wild fungus favours, the Chinese hackberry.
How ENOKI is used
Usually uncountable, referring to the mushroom as a food item, as in a bundle of enoki.
