Today I would like to share with you a recipe that allows you to soak shiitake mushrooms in just 10 minutes and clean them thoroughly, so that you can enjoy the delicious taste of shiitake mushrooms. Come and follow me to learn Xi tricks of these chefs!
First of all, it should not be overlooked that you should not use cold water to soak shiitake mushrooms. Because the surface of shiitake mushrooms has fine pores, the use of cold water will cause the mushroom to absorb water and swell, so that impurities can not be discharged, so that the probability of bacteria or eggs growing inside the mushroom increases. So what can we do to ensure the texture and health of shiitake mushrooms?
Trick 1: Cleaning
Step 1: Preparation
Soak the fresh shiitake mushrooms in warm water to soften them slightly, taking care not to use overheated water.
Step 2: Remove the stems
Pick up the shiitake mushrooms and separate the umbrella from the stem. The stems are hard and do not absorb the flavor, so they can be used for other purposes, such as stewed soups.
Step 3: Wash
Place the mushroom umbrella in water and gently rub it to remove impurities and sand particles from the surface. It should be noted that do not use a brush or rub too vigorously to avoid damaging the fiber structure of the shiitake mushroom.
Step 4: Second soaking
Soak the cleaned mushroom umbrella in warm water again for about 5 minutes. The purpose of this step is to further wash the impurities inside the shiitake mushrooms.
Trick 2: Softening
Step 1: Dip
Put the prepared shiitake mushroom umbrella in warm water, add an appropriate amount of salt, stir it slightly, and let it stand for about 5 minutes. Salt helps shiitake mushrooms absorb water faster, softening and increasing taste.
Step 2: Bubble
This step is very important! Put the soaked mushroom umbrella into cold boiled water for about 5 minutes. This allows the mushrooms to absorb enough water, and the temperature difference makes the mushroom fibers softer.
With these two tips, you will be able to soak the shiitake mushrooms in as little as 10 minutes and achieve a thorough cleansing effect. Remember to rinse the soaked mushroom umbrella with water before proceeding to the next step of cooking to ensure that there is no residual salt.
When shiitake mushrooms are softened, they will have a more attractive color and aroma. You can try using shiitake mushrooms for stir-frying, soups, as an ingredient, and more. Whether it's scrambled eggs or braised pork, it can be made even smoother and more delicious by the addition of shiitake mushrooms.
