1. Tremella must be soaked before the glue will appear. Soaking in cold water for 2 hours and warm water for more than 1 hour will make the glue come out much easier.
2. The water used to soak white fungus contains colloid. After removing the impurities, it can be stewed to help release the glue.
3. When stewing, it is recommended not to add too much water, otherwise the colloid will be diluted too thin. Of course, don’t add too little. If you don’t add enough at one time, adding water later will dilute the gelatin.
4. When stewing Tremella, it is recommended to tear or cut it into pieces as much as possible. The more broken it is, the easier it is to produce glue. Glue comes out from the cut edges. The smaller the cut, the larger the contact area and the easier it is for glue to come out.
5. It is recommended that friends simmer over low heat after boiling over high heat, so that the aroma of white fungus can be preserved more intensely and the nutrients will not be lost.
6. The more the white fungus is tossed in the pot when stewing, the easier it is to produce glue. A stew pot separated from water can hardly make the white fungus tumble, so it cannot be boiled.
7. At high temperatures, colloid is dissolved in water and is relatively thin. After stewing, the soup will become viscous after it changes from hot to lukewarm.
8. The stewing time should be sufficient. Do not open the pot immediately after turning off the heat. You can let it simmer for a while, about half an hour.
9. Of course, the most important thing is that the ingredients themselves must be good, that is, only high-quality white fungus that is safe and sulfur-free can produce glue.
