Potatoes are a food that many families often eat. Although potatoes are not strictly a vegetable, they, like sweet potatoes, are recommended to be consumed every day. The method of cooking potatoes is also relatively simple, but compared to steamed potatoes and mashed potatoes, most families still prefer to eat fried shredded potatoes.

There is no obvious difference between fried shredded potatoes and other stir-fried dishes, but there are some differences. For example, the requirements for knife skills are relatively high, and it needs to be washed before frying, otherwise it will stick to the food once fried. Together, so after cutting into shreds, find a container, add water to it, and soak it.

After taking it out and cooking, you will always pour the soaking water directly, but this is really wasteful. As long as you know how to use it, I believe you will never throw away the water in the future.

First: The water used to wash potato shreds is some milky white water. In fact, these milky white things are the potato starch that everyone is familiar with. You can let this basin of water stand and the starch content will slowly change. After sinking to the bottom, pour out the water above, leaving the starch on the bottom of the basin, and then put it into a smaller container. At this time, the starch is still relatively sticky, and it will be done after it dries. In fact, this is a one-time Isn’t it fun to make your own starch?

Second: Tender meat. Usually when making meat at home, such as fried chicken breast or fried pork, you are worried that the meat is too old and the texture is not tender enough. In fact, the main reason is that the water in the meat will evaporate quickly. A more convenient way is to let the starch in the pot stand still, and finally pour out the water on the upper layer, leaving the wet starch on the lower layer. Put the meat in, mix it with the starch evenly, then soak for a while and pour it into the pot. If you stir-fry, the meat will be much tenderer, softer and not too old.

Third: Wash the tableware. Some tableware has been filled with oily food, and it will be very greasy in the end. If you use dishwashing liquid, you are worried about having to wash the foam repeatedly. In fact, you can try these washing methods. The water in the potato shreds, because the starch inside can coat the grease, makes it very easy to clean off the sticky grease, which is very convenient, and after washing off the grease, just rinse it a little, and you don’t have to worry about any foam residue. .

Fourth: Water the flowers. It is not recommended to water the flowers directly. You can put them in a container to ferment for a few days. After the taste becomes sour, you can use it to water the flowers. The starch itself is also relatively fertile. , has certain benefits for the growth of flowers. If there is no other use, you can use it like this.
