How to soak yuba quickly?

The quick soaking method of yuba is scalding in boiling water, soaking in cold water, adding a small amount of alkaline water, adding some acidic components, and soaking in an electric rice cooker.

First, scald it with boiling water.

Before soaking yuba, blanch it with boiling water, which can soften the surface of yuba and make it easier for water to penetrate. The specific method is to boil dried yuba in boiling water for about one minute, then take it out and soak it in cold water for about 10 minute until it becomes soft, and then soak it in clear water for the last time. This method can greatly shorten the foaming time.

Second, soak in cold water.

Some people are used to soaking dried yuba in hot water, but in fact, soaking dried yuba in cold water is easier to soften. Because hot water will destroy protein, resulting in the loss of toughness of dried yuba, affecting the taste. So I suggest you soak your hair in cold water for a long time.

Third, add a small amount of alkaline water.

Adding a little alkaline water to clean water can make dried yuba easier to soak. But be careful not to put too much alkaline water, otherwise it will affect the taste. It is suggested that one teaspoon of alkaline water (about 2 ml) be added to one liter of clean water to soak dried yuba for about 15 minutes.

Fourth, add some acidic ingredients.

Acidic ingredients, such as vinegar and lemon juice, can also help dry yuba soak and soften faster. Add proper amount of vinegar or lemon juice to clear water and soak dried yuba. This method is suitable for dishes that need sour taste.

Step 5 soak your hair in a rice cooker

Soaking dried yuba with rice cooker is a very convenient method, and it can also shorten the soaking time. The specific method is to put dried yuba into the rice cooker, add water, press the cooking button, and cook until the rice cooker automatically beats. The yuba soaked in this way is soft and crisp, and will not pinch your feet. It should be noted that the brewing time should be slightly adjusted according to the difference of rice cookers, generally about 20 minutes.
