Many people report that although they stew according to the correct steps, the tremella soup they actually cook is always not sticky and not soft at all. There must be some key points you haven't noticed!

The following questions

Have you ever met one?

Stew tremella in a pressure cooker, and it hasn't come out of glue for 3 hours! !

Cooked in a rice cooker for 4 hours, not sticky or waxy!

I bought tremella with different sizes. After soaking, the leaves are thick and thin, and some in a bag can glue and some don't. Is it because the shape of tremella is different and the glue is different?

In fact, cooking a pot of perfect tremella soup, ingredients and methods are very important.

Then I'm going to teach you six tips today, so that the tremella soup you cooked can be soft, sticky, smooth and refreshing, and full of gum.

Six tips for cooking tremella:

Bubble time

Dry tremella should be soaked in warm water for more than 1 hour. If cold water is used, it will take 3-4 hours. Only when the tremella is fully soaked, can the tremella quickly gel.

Stewed shape

After soaking the hair, tear up the tremella. The more broken it is, the easier it is to get glue. Many people fail to do this step, and it is difficult to stew the glue later.

Boiling water quantity

Grasp the amount of water once and add enough water, not too much, not more than one third of the tremella. Adding water later will dilute the gum, and it may not be glutinous.

Stew for a while

After the fire is boiled, turn to low heat and simmer slowly, so that the fragrance of tremella will be preserved more strongly.

Stewing time

Tremella has to be cooked for a long time before it can gel, so the stewing time must be long enough. Normally, it will take 2-3 hours.

The above five skills, which one is missing, tremella soup may fail or stew badly! However, did your Majesties feel a little troublesome after reading the explanation of steamed stuffed bun? Seeing those stews for such a long time, you should pay attention to so much ... A little want to back down?

Don't worry! ! Well, there's a sixth trick left ...

The most important point 6.

It is best to stew with fresh live ears.

If you choose fresh live ears as ingredients, you won't have such troubles. Stewed with live ears, not only the gum will come out in 10 minutes, but also the taste will be softer and smoother ~

▲ Fresh and tender living ears are like a full-fledged flower.

Seeing this, your majesty may want to ask.

What is a living ear?

What is the difference between it and the traditional dried tremella?

How should it be cooked and eaten?

Don't worry, steamed stuffed bun will explain it to you slowly.

Live ear is fresh tremella, which has not been dried and processed, is more natural, contains more water, has higher plant protein content, is more suitable for stewing tonics, and tastes more soft and waxy than dried tremella.

The traditional dried tremella has one more drying process than the new fresh ear and is suitable for long-term storage. However, some unscrupulous merchants will fumigate dried tremella with sulfur in order to beautify it, so it is unsafe to eat it. Moreover, compared with live ears, the general dried tremella is more suitable for dressing vegetables after soaking.

10 min. The dried tremella needs to be stewed for more than 2 hours, while the live ear only needs to be boiled for 10 min. It can be gelatinized and cooked in 20 min. It is simply the gospel of lazy people.
