Summer will be over soon as it started raining heavily these past few days. It’s been a while since my last post of the crispy enoki mushroom, mainly due to the ‘let’s-go-outside-before-summer-ends-and-before-school-starts’ mood. I didn’t get to experiment in the kitchen a lot in those period. But, I’m back, this time I am sharing this
