1. Choose Tremella fungus
You must choose good quality Tremella fuciformis in order to cook delicious Tremella fuciformis soup. Don't choose those that are very white in color. Most of them are bleached, and those with a slightly yellow color are best.
2. Soak the Tremella fungus
If you want to boil out the gelatin, you need to soak it one day in advance and boil it the next day. The Tremella fuciformis cooked in this way will be thicker and the soaked Tremella fuciformis will be soaked. Tear it into pieces. The more shredded the better, this will make it easier for the glue to come out. Many people do not do this well, so it is difficult to stew the glue out.
3. Boil the Tremella
Wash the Tremella and remove the stems, put it in a large bowl and steam it for 10 minutes. Then, put it in a pot, add water and boil.
When cooking, you must also control the amount of water. Add enough water at one time to cover one-third of the white fungus. If you do not add enough water before, add more water later, which will dilute the colloid. And it’s not sticky when cooked.
The viscosity of white fungus is directly proportional to the boiling time. The longer the boiling time, the thicker the soup will naturally be. You can first bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce it to the lowest heat and cook slowly until the soup becomes thick.
