Auricularia auricula, also known as cloud ear and mulberry ear, is a common edible fungus, which is naturally formed and artificially propagated. Its texture is soft, its taste is crisp and tender, and its nutritional value is high, which can be compared with meat, so it has the reputation of "the meat in the vegetarian diet".
There are many ways to eat auricularia auricula, and the simplest is cold salad. You can also stir-fry, make soup and stuff. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is a regular ingredient at home. But the fungus you usually buy is dry, so you must soak it before eating. If you soak it directly in clean water, the room temperature in the south is close to 0℃ in winter, and you can't soak it for hours.
Some people think that hot water is used when cold water does not boil, and boiling water is used when hot water does not boil. However, although the water temperature is high, it foams quickly, and the disadvantages are obvious, that is, the taste is not crisp and tender, and the nutrition will be lost a lot.
Others said, let's soak for a long time. You can keep soaking all night, but no! The longer the soaking time, the more bacteria there are.
Is there a way to soak black fungus quickly and ensure nutrition and taste? Next, I will share with you a small coup commonly used in restaurants. Add 1 sample when soaking auricularia auricula, and the hair can be soaked in 3 minutes at the earliest, which is fast and clean, saving time and effort. Friends who like to eat fungus should learn quickly.
(edible) black fungus
Uncle chef taught me two methods, one takes 10 minutes, and the other only takes 3 minutes, but each has its own advantages. You can choose according to the actual situation, which is very useful.
One plus two samples-salt+flour
① Prepare a large bowl, put in dried auricularia, add a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of flour, then pour in warm water at about 40℃, stir evenly by hand, and soak for 10 minute, and the auricularia will be soaked.
2 when soaking fungus, the water temperature should not be too high or too low. 40℃ is just right, a little hot. It can not only ensure the taste of auricularia auricula, but also kill two birds with one stone.
(3) Adding salt can sterilize and make the fungus cleaner, and at the same time increase the concentration of water, which can quickly penetrate into the fungus and make the fungus fully expand. Flour has a strong adsorption capacity, which can adsorb dirt such as dust, impurities, eggs and bacteria. After the fungus is soaked, grab it by hand and wash it with water. It will be very clean.
Advantages: the speed of soaking hair is fast and the fungus is cleaner.
Two plus 1 sample-sugar
(1) For the fresh-keeping box or cup that needs to be sealed, add auricularia auricula and warm water at 40℃, add a spoonful of sugar and cover it.
⑵ Grab the crisper with both hands and shake it vigorously for 3 minutes, and the fungus will be soaked, which is amazing.
(3) In a sealed fresh-keeping box, vigorous shaking will accelerate the movement of water molecules and increase the contact area. White sugar will change the osmotic pressure and enhance the water absorption capacity of auricularia auricula, which will expand within 3 minutes, thus foaming rapidly.
Advantages: the foaming speed is the fastest; Disadvantages: Auricularia auricula needs to be cleaned again after soaking.
The two methods of soaking auricularia auricula are very useful, each has its own advantages, and everyone chooses the appropriate method according to their own needs.
The chef has something to say.
How big is the fungus bubble? After soaking high-quality auricularia auricula, the volume can be 5 times of the original. If the soaking is too small, it means that the quality of black fungus is not good. It is not that the longer the soaking time, the bigger the fungus, and the longest soaking time cannot exceed 8 hours. Soak the fungus for too long, drain it, put it in a fresh-keeping box and put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration. After more than 24 hours, throw it away and don't eat any more.
Auricularia auricula should be eaten and soaked now, and the soaking time is too long, which will not only breed bacteria, but also increase the nitrite content sharply. Some people soak for as long as 12 hour or even 2-3 days. This fungus is inedible. Throw it away quickly.
1, directly soak in clean water for cleaning. The cleaning method of mushrooms is actually very simple. If you don't know how to clean it, you can directly choose t
