Tips:
1. What needs to be reminded is that Chinese toon contains nitrate and nitrite, which are higher than normal vegetables. Therefore, whether it is cold dressing or hot stir-frying, you may wish to blanch it in boiling water for about 1 minute before processing to remove more than 2/3 of nitrite and nitrate. And the aroma of toon mainly comes from essential oils, which are insoluble in water, so blanching will not affect the flavor of the dishes.
2. The more tender the toon is, the lower the nitrate content, so you should pay attention to choosing the tender texture and buying it right away, or blanching it and freezing or pickling it.
