Step 1: Soak in clear water for 10- 15 minutes to let the mushrooms absorb water. After soaking in water, the folds under the original dried mushroom umbrella will slowly open and become less tight, so that the folds will be opened more conveniently in the next cleaning.

Step 2: After clean water, add 2-3 spoonfuls of starch to the water.

Step 3: Add salt. In order to make the mushrooms cleaner and safer to eat, finally, add 1-2 tablespoons of salt, let the mushrooms soak thoroughly in salt water, and let them stand for about 10 minute.

Step 4: Salt has a very good bactericidal effect. Soaking mushrooms in salt water can effectively remove hidden eggs and bacteria. When we wash it once or twice with flowing water, the mushrooms will be washed very clean, and all the sediments, eggs and dirty things will be washed away, so the clean mushrooms can be safely eaten.

Matters needing attention

Clean water can't clean the dirty things hidden in the folds, but adding starch is different. Starch has a strong adsorption effect, and it is easy to adsorb the hidden sediments and eggs in mushrooms. Besides, mushrooms are soft and fragile. In the process of cleaning mushrooms, be sure to gently knead them carefully to ensure their integrity.
