Due to the heat after being put into the pot, the structure of the fungus separates and forms a balloon shape. With continued heating, the air pressure inside the fungus continues to increase. When the cell membrane of the fungus cannot withstand it, an explosion reaction will occur.

To prevent the fungus from exploding in the pot, the fungus must be completely soaked and the pieces to be torn into smaller pieces. If the pieces are large or not soaked enough, they will easily explode during frying. Before frying the fungus, you can blanch the fungus in water. The blanched fungus will mature easily and shorten the frying time in the pot, which can reduce the occurrence of pot explosion.

Be sure to drain the fungus before frying. The water will explode when it encounters hot oil, so this step is also very important. When frying the fungus, you can pour a small amount of water into the pot. Do not use too much water. Too much water will affect the taste of the entire dish. Generally, a dozen milliliters is enough, which can also reduce the risk of the fungus exploding.

Soaking time of dry fungus

Wood fungus is generally soaked in cold water for about 3-4 hours before consumption. If you want to achieve the best growth rate, you can use 15-25 degree water to soak it. 8 hours. Fungus is a kind of fungus. Fresh fungus contains a lot of water and becomes leathery after drying. Soaking it in cold water can slowly absorb the water and turn it into the translucent state when it is fresh. This is also the most ideal way to soak fungus.

If you soak the fungus in light salt water, you can speed up the growth of the dry fungus. In light salt water, the fungus only needs 1 hour. Soaking the fungus in salt water can effectively remove the sand in the fungus.

If you are in a hurry to eat fungus and have not soaked the fungus in advance, soaking the fungus in hot water is an emergency way. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes to soak the fungus in hot water, but the fungus soaked in hot water has a low hair growth rate, and the taste is soft and not crispy.
