Do you need to blanch cold vegetable dishes?

Some vegetarian dishes must be blanched, and some can be eaten directly

1. Chinese toon

Chinese toon contains more nitrates and nitrites, which are harmful to the body after eating It may form carcinogens. More than 2/3 of the nitrites and nitrates can be removed by blanching them in water for about 1 minute, so blanch them. Blanching toon will not affect the taste and can be made into pickled toon, toon mixed with tofu and other dishes.

2. Fungus

Many people wash the fungus and eat it directly. This is not possible because there are a lot of bacterial substances attached to the surface of the fungus, which is difficult to remove with ordinary water. After cleaning and blanching, the bacterial substances can be cleaned, and it is more conducive to the body's absorption of nutrients. In addition, the fungus after blanching is not prone to frying.

3. Zucchini

You don’t need to blanch zucchini when cooking. If you blanch zucchini, the nutrients will be lost, and the texture will be soft and unpalatable. Just serve it cold and it tastes sour and spicy after being cooked. It is particularly delicious whether it is used with wine or rice.

4. Ice grass

In the past, few people ate ice grass. It was only available in restaurants and sold very expensively. It looked like there were many small beads on it, and it burst into pulp when you bite it. Regarding the taste, I suddenly discovered that some supermarkets also sell ice grass, and it’s very cheap, costing only a few yuan per pound.

Many people think that wheatgrass is a frozen vegetable when they see it. In fact, it cannot be refrigerated. When you observe wheatgrass in the sun, you can see that the surface of the leaves and stems are sparkling, which is very beautiful. Some people even call it crystal cabbage. The taste of wheatgrass is quite special and tastes relatively bland, but the taste is very refreshing and refreshing. It contains natural plant salts, so it tastes a little salty.

This dish is especially suitable for cold salad, but it must not be blanched, otherwise the small water droplets on the surface will disappear. It only needs to be simply served cold.

Preparation method:

1. First gently rinse the whole ice grass, soak it in water, and then add a spoonful of salt , soak for half an hour.

2. After half an hour, tear it into small florets with your hands, be careful to be as gentle as possible, wash it again with pure water or cold boiled water, and put it on a plate directly.
