Being adventurous again and the result was this dish, its the second time I have made this. The first was a bit of an experiment, this time just did a couple of tweaks for final result and very satisfied. Its a simple dish which doesn't take long to whip up and best served chilled.

Ingredients
 
Packet of enoki mushrooms, bought from any Asian grocery
Black fungus, 4(soaked in hot water, these will expand 3 to 4 times their original size)
1 carrot julienne
A few slices of fresh ginger julienne
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp of mirin
1 1/2 tbsp of cooking sake
2 tsp of sesame oil

Method 
Drain the black fungus from the hot water after 10 minutes and slice thinly,with the enoki mushroom cut the bottom and discard.
Heat a wok or fry pan pour in the sesame oil, toss in the ginger sauté until aromatic then put in the carrots.
Stir fry for a minute or so, toss in the enoki mushrooms and the sliced black fungus, sprinkle the mirin and soy sauce and cook for a couple of minutes.
Finally turn off the heat and pour the sake over and mixed well. Place into a bowl and let it come to room temperature. Sprinkle some black sesame seeds and serve. 
This dish will keep in the fridge up to five days as I was to discovered, when I had leftovers one night.The flavour was so intense, it reminder me of kimchi the side the side dishes you would get in a Korean restaurant.
Give a try its simple and delicious
