Soak Tremella fungus in cold water. Although the time to soak Tremella fungus in hot water is faster than soaking it in cold water, hot water may cause the nutrients in Tremella fungus to be lost, and the taste of the cooked food will also become worse. Therefore, it is best to use cold water to soak your hair. This kind of white fungus will have the best effect in terms of texture, taste, and nutritional value.
Soaking Tremella fuciformis is actually relatively simple. Soak the Tremella fuciformis in cold water for 3-4 hours. During this period, you can change the water every hour to remove the remaining dust and other impurities. After soaking, remove the impurities from the roots and rinse with water several times. Then put the white fungus root upward into the water so that the water can completely soak the white fungus. Let it sit for about half an hour and tear it into small florets with your hands during cooking.
If you want to soak your hair quickly, you can also soak your hair in warm water. This method is much faster than soaking in cold water, but it requires very high water temperature. Generally, the water temperature should be controlled at around 2530°C. This will not destroy the nutrition of white fungus. If the water temperature is too high, the nutrients of the white fungus will be destroyed and the taste will be affected. Remember, never soak Tremella fungus in boiling water. This method will only destroy the nutrients of Tremella fungus.
After soaking the white fungus, remove the undeveloped parts, especially the light yellow parts. And you have to wait until the white fungus is completely soaked, so that it can become more viscous when cooking.
