Compiled by Li Yixuan Occasionally, you want to cook at home, but you feel that preparing ingredients takes too much time. In the end, you still choose to go out? The Japanese TV program "People Who Get Good or Bad from the News" (tentative translation) invited housework experts and cooking experts to introduce four common food processing methods, including how to remove the bitterness of onions. Taste, how to quickly remove the internal organs of saury, how to restore the soft texture of dried toast, and what tools to use to cook white radish for a long time without falling apart. Once you learn them all, you can save time, effort and effort in cooking! 1. Rinse salt water to remove the pungent smell of onions. The pungent smell of onions often makes people burst into tears and shrink away. The Taichung District Agricultural Information Monthly, a publication of the Taichung District Agricultural Improvement Station, mentioned that the special pungent taste of onions comes from volatile allyl disulfide compounds. The cooking expert Kenji Iketani invited on the show suggested that if you want to remove the pungent smell of onions, you can first chop the onions finely, put them in a piece of cloth and sprinkle them with salt. After wrapping the cloth, rub it under the faucet and rinse it. Because allyl disulfide compounds are water-soluble, and salt can help the onions drain out of water, shortening the time required to remove the pungent smell, coupled with rubbing, friction and continuous flushing with water, the pungent smell of onions can be effectively removed.

Make 2 cuts to remove the viscera of saury. Saury is cheap and nutritious, but the bitter taste of its viscera is not something everyone is used to. Matsuhashi Shutaro, a housekeeping expert known as "Housework Dream", said that the internal organs can be quickly removed by making two cuts from the head to the tail. First, the first cut is made from the base of the head on the pectoral fin, cutting from the top of the saury down to the bone. Stop cutting when you hear the crisp sound of the fish bone being cut. The second cut is to make a cut about 1 cm in front of the vaginal opening of the abdomen. Then, just hold the fish tail with one hand and pull the fish head forward with the other hand. The internal organs of the saury will be removed along with the head. Pull it out. Because the head of the saury is connected to the bones and internal organs, when we cut off the bone connection of the saury's head, the fish head is only connected to the internal organs; and by cutting in front of the abdominal cavity, the body of the saury can be cut off. The connection with the internal organs is cut off, so the internal organs of the saury can be easily removed by simply pulling the fish head apart. This method can also be used for sardines. 3. Use barley tea to resurrect dry toast. If you leave it home for a long time, the toast may lose moisture, become soft, dry and flat, and taste very different. The tool to revive dry toast is barley tea! Matsuhashi Shutaro suggests filling the barley tea with a spray bottle, spraying the entire toast about 10 centimeters away from the toast, and then baking it in an 850w oven for 3 minutes. After heating, the moisture of the barley tea will be absorbed by the starch of the toast, which can make the toast expand and become softer. Moreover, the aroma of the toast comes from wheat. The aroma of barley used in barley tea is similar to that of wheat, which can add flavor and make the toast becomes more delicious.
When cooking, if you want the ingredients to be cooked quickly or to be flavored quickly, you usually choose to cut the ingredients into small pieces. However, after the white radish is cut into pieces, during the long cooking process, the edges and corners of the radish pieces will easily become If they fall apart, they often need to be trimmed into rounded corners with a kitchen knife to prevent the white radish from falling apart. Matsuhashi Shutaro said that there is a solution that can be solved in 15 seconds: first peel off the skin of the white radish, cut it into pieces, put the white radish into a metal or stainless steel filter, and cover the filter with a basin. Shake the filter in a circular motion for 15 seconds. This can also be used if it is a cross-cut radish. The mesh of the metal filter can be used instead of a knife to cut off the edges. By rotating the radish in the filter and the basin, the edges of the radish can be quickly removed.
