1, peeled after cooking.
After water chestnut is washed and cooked, it is soaked in light salt water for 3 to 4 hours. Rinse with water after soaking. At this time, with a gentle pinch of your hand, its skin and pulp naturally come out and you can eat it directly.
Step 2 peel when fresh
When buying water chestnuts, choose water chestnuts with short buds, which are sweeter and easier to peel. If the selected water chestnut is only flat, wash it, cut off the upper and lower parts with a knife, and cut off the rest with a peeling knife.
Choice of horseshoe:
Generally, the color of horseshoe skin is mostly purplish red or purplish black. It is suggested to choose a dark horseshoe. Usually, horseshoes with darker colors will have thicker meat and better taste. However, horseshoes with fresh or unusually bright red skin are considered soaked and are not recommended.
In addition, you can also cut open to see the color of the pulp. Fresh horseshoe meat is white and juicy, and poor quality horseshoe meat will be partially yellow, so it is not suitable for selection.
