Soaked Dried Bamboo Shoots
1.
Ingredients: 1 pack of dried bamboo shoots.
2.
Put the dried bamboo shoots in a sink and rinse the surface dust with water (this step can be saved).
3.
Put the dried bamboo shoots in a basin, add clean water, and let them stand for a day and night.
4.
After 24 hours, the soaking water became darker in color.
5.
Pour out the soaking water, rinse the dried bamboo shoots a little bit, re-add water that can cover the dried bamboo shoots, and soak again for a day and night.
6.
The next day, the soaking water showed a light yellow color.
7.
Pour out the soaking water again, add additional water and soak for another day and night.
8.
After the third soaking, the water color did not change significantly, and the dried bamboo shoots had absorbed water and appeared much plump.
9.
Pour the soaking water, put the soaked bamboo shoots into a pressure cooker, and add about 3-5 cm of water that has not covered the dried bamboo shoots.
10.
Close the lid, place the pressure limiting valve, cook on high heat to the upper pressure, continue to cook for about 40 minutes, and then turn off the heat.
11.
After the pressure cooker is exhausted, remove the cover, and the dried bamboo shoots have become plump and soft.
12.
Remove the dried bamboo shoots to control excess water.
13.
Cut off the old man that is almost wooden, and cut the dried bamboo shoots into hob blocks or straight sections according to the needs of use.
14.
Seal the package in a vacuum bag and put it in the refrigerator to chill or freeze.
Tips:
There is no need to rinse before soaking.
The soaking time needs to be adjusted according to the draft of the bamboo shoots. If the temperature is high in summer, you need to change the water frequently or soak in the refrigerator to avoid spoilage.
If you use ordinary pots and pans, you need to extend the cooking time appropriately.
