Step 1: Check the weather.
Pay attention to the weather forecast before preparing dried beancurd in advance. It must be sunny in the next 4-5 days to prepare dried beancurd in advance. If it rains during the whole drying process, it will affect the quality of dried beans, and sometimes it will continue to be damaged.
In fact, in the case of sufficient light, it will be sunny in about 2 days. It is safer to choose a sunny life for 4 ~ 5 days.
Step 2: Choose long beans.
When drying dried beans, you should choose new tender long beans with dense, dark green and delicate texture. Dried beans released from old long beans are not very delicious, and thick long beans are not very dry.
In addition, vendors can't use long beans with blisters. You can take a small amount of long beans and leave them for a day. If the long bean is swollen and feels hollow when pinched, it is a long bean that has been soaked in small water, and the long bean that has not been soaked in water will dry in a day.
Step 3: Clean up the long beans.
You don't have to pick all the beans you bought, just wash them with cold water immediately. There is nothing to say about this step.
Step 4: Solve the problem of long beans.
The next solution can be in two ways. One is to cut raw beans and dry them immediately, and the other is to cook long beans and then dry them.
Dry beans dried with raw beans are green in color and taste closer to the taste of fresh long beans. The dried beans released by boiling long beans in water are dark brown and taste like dried mushrooms and long beans.
1, what should I do with dried beans?
Put the washed dried beans aside to drain and dry for one day, so that the fresh beans will wither slightly, so that the beans are malleable and not easy to break when scratched with a knife. Then prepare an old razor head in advance, cut the long beans into two pieces from beginning to end with the razor head, and finally leave the length of 1 cm.
It is much easier to dry the long bean cut into two pieces, which can greatly shorten the drying time, retain a lot of nutrients in the long bean, and also prevent the drying time from being too long and encountering rainy days in the middle.
If you hate cutting long beans, it doesn't matter, just drying the whole thing will increase the drying time.
