Pleurotus eryngii is a large, high-quality succulent mushroom, which is mainly distributed in Xinjiang and Qinghai in our country, and they grow on rotting wood in late autumn. It has high protein content, can improve human immunity, can promote gastric acid secretion, and promote digestion. The meat of the oyster mushroom is fat, and it can be cooked in a variety of ways, including various soups and hot pots.
The edible part of the oyster mushroom is its mushroom cap or mushroom stalk, but the main thing that the king oyster mushroom eats is the mushroom stalk.
For all kinds of mushrooms, in fact, I don't like it very much, but my daughter-in-law loves mushrooms, every once in a while will let me make her a pot of mushroom soup, the mushrooms in the vegetable market are relatively cheap, what enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, mouth mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, crab mushrooms, etc., I will buy.
I still remember one summer, I went out early, and during that time a new hot dry noodle restaurant was opened near the community. In the summer of that year, I basically got up early to eat early and then went to the vegetable market to buy groceries, so I encountered a lot of new things.
Take the purchase of oyster mushrooms as an example, there is an aunt in the vegetable market who can often be encountered, and the reason why I remember this aunt deeply is because her actions are contrary to common sense and make me feel novel.
It is also a coincidence that every time I buy vegetables, I will meet this aunt, she always holds the ultraviolet lamp to detect counterfeit banknotes, and shines the oyster mushrooms to be selected in her hand in the dark.
She said that some oyster mushrooms will contain whitening agents, the mushroom cover is smooth, the feel is good, and the appearance is particularly good, but she does not dare to buy, after the irradiation of ultraviolet lamps, the oyster mushrooms containing whitening agents will see very bright fluorescent spots, that is, they contain brighteners, and she will not buy them.
After my aunt's guidance, I also learned to choose oyster mushrooms, which are astringent, earthy and rough to the touch.
Of course, in addition to the problem of whitening agent, everyone is also used to choosing according to the size of the king oyster mushroom, which is actually not right. Buying oyster mushrooms: choose "big" or "small"? Remember "3 buy 3 don't buy", the meat is delicious and delicious, and the following will tell you about some of the skills I learned from that aunt to choose oyster mushrooms?
1. Choose a big or small one to buy oyster mushrooms?
Pleurotus eryngii, the mushroom meat is thick, the taste is crisp and tender, with the aroma of almonds, because the taste is more similar to abalone, especially the fragrance and umami, so it is called Pleurotus eryngii. Although it is delicious and delicious, many people do not know how to choose oyster mushrooms, and if they want to buy high-quality ones, they don't know whether to choose larger or smaller, whether to choose coarser or thinner?
1. First of all, we must change a misunderstanding, when choosing watermelon and various fruits, when choosing potato lotus root, everyone has developed such a cognitive habit, always think that the larger the ingredients, its maturity will be higher, but this selection habit is not suitable for Pleurotus eryngii.
2. You can do an experiment, go to the vegetable market to choose as big as possible Pleurotus eryngii back, for Pleurotus eryngii, it is not the bigger the better, the larger the Pleurotus eryngii, the higher its maturity, on the contrary, the Pleurotus eryngii is too large, its interior is empty, and the taste is far worse than the moderately sized Pleurotus eryngii.
3. It is not good to buy oyster mushrooms, and the maturity of oyster mushrooms that are too small is naturally not very good, so you should buy medium-sized oyster mushrooms. You can remember such a reference, our palms are about 15 centimeters, some people have large palms, some people have small palms, you can ignore these details, when choosing oyster mushrooms, according to the size of their palms, the probability is 15 centimeters or less, this size of oyster mushrooms, the taste is the best.
2. Choose oyster mushrooms, remember to buy two or three?
The price of oyster mushrooms is not expensive, but the taste is delicious, stir-fry casually, sometimes it is really more delicious than eating meat, to say that the oyster mushroom is delicious, I often make it at home: fish-flavored oyster mushroom, palace fried oyster mushroom, fried shredded pork with oyster mushroom, etc. But the premise of the deliciousness of the oyster mushroom lies in the purchase of ingredients, and only when we buy fresh and delicious oyster mushrooms can we give full play to our cooking skills.
1. Which two situations can not be purchased when choosing oyster mushrooms?
When choosing oyster mushrooms in the vegetable market or supermarket, you should remember that the color of the oyster mushroom looks particularly white, do not buy it, the mushroom ingredients, the white color is only one possibility, and the artificially treated, naturally grown oyster mushroom should be milky white, and it is impossible to look very white.
2. When choosing oyster mushrooms, the surface of the mushrooms will oxidize, the color will turn yellow and there will be black spots, so don't buy them. At the same time, you can pick up the king oyster mushroom and smell the smell of the king oyster mushroom, which cannot be purchased with peculiar smell, sour smell and rotten smell.
2. What are the three circumstances that can be purchased?
1. Fresh and high-quality oyster mushrooms, usually milky white, pinch them on the hand, feel hard, such oyster mushrooms are worth buying, no matter which method is taken at home, the taste is relatively crisp and tender.
2. Pleurotus eryngii is a kind of mushroom, when purchasing, you can observe the umbrella cover of the oyster mushroom, the umbrella cover is in a state of folding, indicating that the oyster mushroom is picked normally, and you should pay attention to the color of the umbrella cover, which is usually gray, so it is worth buying.
3. When buying Pleurotus eryngii, in addition to checking the umbrella cover, you also need to check the stalk, which is the main edible part of Pleurotus eryngii, which should be fat and elastic, and the texture of the hard texture will be crisp and tender, and it is worth buying Pleurotus eryngii that meets this condition.
But you should also pay attention to not too fat, more than 15 cm do not buy, as introduced to you above, the right size of king oyster mushrooms is usually about the same size as our palms.
3. Is it necessary to blanch the oyster mushrooms first or fry them directly?
First of all, let's talk about the taste, if you want the taste of the oyster mushroom to be crisp and tender, you can stir-fry it directly, and if the fried time is too long, the oyster mushroom will lose its crisp and tender taste, so you need to blanch it first, and then fry it in the pot.
After the water in the pot is boiled, add a little salt and cooking oil, put in the cleaned king oyster mushrooms, blanch them for a while and take them out, the king oyster mushrooms are cooked, and when they are fried in the pot, the taste is crisp and tender.
In addition, there is an important reason, mushroom ingredients, all contain more oxalic acid, the oxalic acid content of Pleurotus eryngii is relatively high, directly fried in the pot, oxalic acid and calcium reaction is easy to produce calcium oxalate, in the body accumulation is easy to form stones, so, Pleurotus eryngii mushroom needs to be blanched before stir-frying, so that a part of oxalic acid can be removed.
At the end of the writing, I would like to say a few words about buying oyster mushrooms: choose "big" or "small"? Remember "2 buy 3 don't buy", the meat is delicious.
You can do an experiment, go to the vegetable market to pick as large as possible Pleurotus eryngii back, for Pleurotus eryngii, not the bigger the better, the larger the Pleurotus eryngii, the higher its maturity, on the contrary, the Pleurotus eryngii is too large, its interior is empty, and the taste is far worse than the size of the Pleurotus eryngii.
To buy oyster mushrooms, the maturity of too small oyster mushrooms is naturally not very good, to buy medium-sized oyster mushrooms, you can remember such a reference, our palms are about 15 cm, some people have large palms, some people have small palms, you can ignore these details, when choosing oyster mushrooms, choose according to the size of your palm, the probability is 15 cm or less, this size of oyster mushrooms, the taste is the best.
I like to express love with food, believe that giving love is the best way to make yourself happy, and deeply believe that food is the only way to soothe people's hearts.
