Kelp is an edible deep-sea algae plant, with rich sugar content, fucoidan and various minerals needed by the body. It has the functions of preventing radiation, preventing goiter, beautifying and losing weight, lowering blood pressure and blood fat, etc. It is a kind of cheap and nutritious marine food, and its practices are varied, so it has been warmly welcomed by many good friends. Kelp contains fucoidan, alginic acid and other ingredients. Once it absorbs moisture, a viscous solution will be metabolized on the surface of kelp, which prevents water from entering, so it is difficult to cook it soft.

steam and clean kelp, and make kelp buckle as shown below. Put pepper in the pot. Stir-fry dried Chili peppers (put more if you like hemp), fragrant leaves and cinnamon for about 2 minutes. Add water to the pot. Stir-fried bell pepper. Pepper. Put the fragrant leaves and cinnamon into the pot. Ginger and garlic. Salt. Light soy sauce, old rock sugar. The fire boiled.

Picking up the residue and leaving the oil has become a household version of spicy oil. Mix the spicy oil into the marinated kelp buckle to enhance the taste.

dried kelp is often covered with a layer of frost like salt frost, which makes it feel unclean. In fact, this layer of frost is not Aspergillus flavus, but the organic substance "glycerol fructose", which is a valuable chemical substance with medicinal value, and has the effects of lowering blood pressure, facilitating urination and reducing swelling. Both iodoformic acid and glycerol fructose contained in kelp can be dissolved in water. If dried kelp is soaked in water for more than several hours, iodohexanoic acid will damage about 9%, and glycerol fructose can also be dissolved, which reduces the nutritional value of kelp.

the dried kelp you just bought is soaked in water for about 6 hours, and then washed by changing hands to remove the fine sand particles and mucus adhered to the kelp. The soaking time should not be long, otherwise the nutrients in kelp will dissolve in water, leading to nutrient loss. Fresh kelp can be soaked in cold water for about 5 hours, and it can be cleaned by changing a few backwaters in the middle. If buying refers to the sea knot and it is difficult to clean it, you must open the sea knot and soak it in salt water for a period of time. And clean the fine sand inside, change the water in the fish tank and rub it so that the fine sand can be extracted gradually.
