Pickled fungus is a common ingredient in many dishes. It is crystal clear, tender and packed with nutrients. For those who are new to fungus, soaking fungus is not an easy task. Sometimes we put the soaked fungus in it by the way when cooking noodles, but the fungus is as hard as a stone, and it does not achieve the expected effect at all, what should we do? Let's introduce the secret of bubble fungus taught to me by my chef friend, so that you can easily soak large and soft in 2 minutes.
Step 1: Buy the right fungus First of all, we need to buy the right fungus. Because there are many varieties of fungus and the quality varies greatly, we need to choose a good quality fungus with black and bright color, solid texture, complete shape and no cracks when purchasing. In this way, the soaked fungus will be large and soft, and the taste will be better.
Step 2: Wash the fungus Put the purchased fungus into clean water and soak for about 30 minutes, then rinse the soaked fungus with water, and wash it repeatedly in clean water to remove the impurities on the surface of the fungus. The fungus treated in this way not only tastes better, but also is more hygienic and healthy.
Step 3: Blanch water in boiling water Put the soaked and cleaned fungus into the pot, and the amount of water before the fungus is about twice that of the fungus. Add ginger slices and cooking wine to the fungus, blanch for 1-2 minutes after boiling, soak in cool water for 5-10 minutes, change the water several times, let the fungus clean thoroughly, make the taste more delicate.
Step 4: Add Secret Hair Foam Now is the time to crunch! According to the experience of a chef friend, put the soaked fungus into a bowl, add 100ml of water, then add 1 spoonful of white vinegar and 1 spoonful of baking soda. Stir well by hand to allow the fungus to fully absorb the bubbles in it. Next, add a small amount of sugar, stir and pour 80ml of warm water and stir gently until dissolved. Finally, cover and let stand for 2 minutes, then remove and drain when the fungus is soft, and serve.
This foaming method is exclusively secret, but unlike the conventional foaming method, it can improve the softness and taste of the fungus, and fully release the protein and nutrients in the fungus. With this important secret, not only can the foamed fungus be large and soft, but also the original nutritional value of the fungus can be effectively preserved.
In short, bubble fungus is not an easy task, and you need to master certain skills. According to the experience of chef friends, choose high-quality fungus, wash it thoroughly, blanch it with boiling water, and add secret hair foam to easily soak large and soft fungus. Try it, you will have a new understanding and experience of this dish!
