How to blanch asparagus to make delicious asparagus

There are two reasons why asparagus needs to be blanched. First, this cooking method can retain the vitamins in asparagus to the maximum extent and avoid excessive nutrition. Drainage, blanched asparagus has a bright color and crisp texture. Second, because asparagus contains oxalic acid, it easily combines with calcium after entering the human blood to form calcium oxalate. Blanching can remove most of the oxalic acid, making it safer to eat.

How to blanch asparagus

Heat the water to boiling, add a small amount of salt and oil, and then pour in the asparagus. Generally, the blanching time is controlled to about 3 minutes. Adding oil is to keep the color of the asparagus green, and adding salt is to allow the asparagus to fully absorb the flavor and facilitate subsequent processing. More importantly, salt can reduce the loss of nutrients in the vegetables.

Warm reminder

There are two ways to blanch water, one is to boil water and then blanch, and the other is to blanch water in a cold water pot. For some vegetables, such as celery, spinach, lettuce, etc., because color, tenderness and crispness are important, wait until the water boils before pouring in the raw materials, and then wait until the water is slightly boiled before taking them out. For some raw materials that are difficult to cook, you can put them in the pot with cold water, such as carrots, potatoes, beef, ribs, etc. Adding hot water to the pot will cause the protein to coagulate.
