Salt 1/2 teaspoon
White pepper powder to taste (optional)

Wash the green peppers, remove seeds, and cut into rectangular strips. Trim the roots of the enoki mushrooms, wash, and drain well.
2. Blanch Enoki Mushrooms (Optional):
Bring water to a boil, blanch the enoki mushrooms for 10 seconds, then drain to remove any raw taste while preserving their texture.
