Prepare the gochujang glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.
~5 min - 2
Prepare the garlic crumble: Finely mince the garlic cloves. Heat the neutral oil in a small frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
~7 min - 3
Add the panko breadcrumbs to the crispy garlic and stir for another 1-2 minutes until the panko is lightly toasted and golden. Remove from heat and drain the garlic crumble mixture on paper towels. Set aside.
~3 min - 4
Prepare the enoki mushrooms: Trim the root ends of the enoki mushroom clusters. Gently separate them into manageable sections and thread them onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each section for even cooking.
~5 min - 5
Grill the enoki mushroom skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- 6
Place the enoki skewers on the grill. Brush them generously with the prepared gochujang glaze. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, brushing with more glaze as needed, until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.
~6 min - 7
Remove skewers from the grill. Immediately sprinkle the crispy garlic crumble and sliced scallions over the glazed mushrooms. Serve hot.

Tips
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- The garlic crumble can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Reheat briefly in a dry pan if it loses crispness.
