Many people in life think that dried fungus can be boiled directly without soaking, but in fact this is wrong. First of all, the moisture content in dried fungus is relatively small. If it is not soaked first, it is difficult to cook it. Afterwards, the taste is not good; secondly, most of the dried fungus currently on the market are added with urea, ammonium salt and other additives. If they are not soaked and eaten directly, then these substances are easy to damage the health of the human body, so Dried fungus is generally recommended to be soaked before cooking.

Many people like to soak white fungus in boiling water, but in fact, this is wrong. Soaking white fungus in boiling water can easily lead to the loss of nutrients in the white fungus, and secondly, it will make the taste of the fungus bad, so the fungus needs to be soaked when soaking. It is better to soak in cold water, so that the nutritional value of the fungus can be preserved, and the taste of the white fungus can not be destroyed.
In addition, the soaking time depends on the specific situation. The best way to soak dried fungus is to choose to soak in cold water, but due to the large loss of water in the dried fungus, it takes a certain amount of time to soak in cold water, usually about 3-4 hours, and the dried fungus needs to slowly absorb water before it can be replaced Good to achieve translucency when fresh. If the time is short and you need to soak the fungus in hot water, then it usually only takes about 10-20 minutes at this time, because the longer the hot water soaks the dried fungus, the more nutrients the dried fungus loses, not only The nutrition will be greatly reduced, and the taste will not be as fresh as before.
