A, dry steaming and then soak
1, dry kelp do not wash, rolled up and put directly into the steamer on high heat for 20-30 minutes. Like to eat crunchy kelp people can steam for 10 minutes, the longer the steam time, the more crispy kelp.
Steamed after drying on the side can be eaten, eat as much as take as much, soaked in water for 2-3 hours, washed and sliced or shredded, can be used directly for cold, fried, stewed, boiled, so that the taste of the soaked kelp is very fresh.
Two, soaked in rice water
If you feel that steaming is more trouble, you can also use rice water to soak kelp, dry kelp soaked in rice water for two to three hours to clean can be used for cooking, this is because the surface of the dry kelp attached to the fucoxanthin, which will turn into a viscous gel when they meet the water, kelp wrapped up so that the water will not be easy to get in. The rice water is weakly alkaline, can dissolve the alginate, without the alginate, the water molecules can quickly enter the kelp, the kelp can be softened quickly.
Three, microwave heating
1, soak the dry kelp in water, add 1 spoon of white vinegar, let it stand for about 5 minutes and then take it out, the dry kelp will become soft.
2, then put the kelp into the microwave oven (or boil over the fire), heat it on high for 1 minute and then take it out, at which time the dried kelp will be fully developed and become soft. Dark green fresh kelp, wash it when you eat it.
