How long does it take to cook dried fish by steaming
Dried fish can be cooked by steaming for 15~20 minutes. Dried fish has been dehydrated during the production process, making it relatively dry in texture and low in moisture content. Therefore, when steamed, dried fish is more likely to be heated evenly and does not take too long to cook. Secondly, steaming is a cooking method that transfers heat to food through water vapor. During the steaming process, the water vapor can penetrate into the interior of the dried fish, causing it to gradually soften and cook through. Since dried fish itself is relatively dry, it is easier for the water vapor to penetrate into the dried fish and speed up its cooking. Finally, the steaming time is also related to the size and thickness of the dried fish. Usually, dried fish can be cooked after steaming for 15 to 20 minutes, and the steaming time will be relatively shorter for smaller dried fish or those with thinner thickness. For larger or thicker dried fish, the steaming time needs to be extended appropriately to ensure that the dried fish can be fully cooked.
