How to dry Tianmen dried bean curd?

1, look at the weather. Pay attention to the weather forecast before preparing to dry dried beancurd, and the last 4 ~ 5 days must be sunny before preparing to dry dried beancurd. If it rains during drying, it will affect the quality of dried beans and sometimes make them worse. In fact, when it is sunny, it will dry in about 2 days. It is safer to choose a sunny day within 4 ~ 5 days.

2. Choose beans. When drying dried beans, you should choose new fresh and tender beans with compact texture, dark green and thin skin. Dried beancurd with old beans is not very delicious, and the bean thickness is not easy to dry. In addition, the beans soaked by vendors can't be used. You can buy a small amount of beans for a day. If the beans swell up and feel hollow when pinched, they are soaked beans, and those that have not been soaked will wilt after one day.

3. Wash the beans. Don't choose the whole beans you bought, just rinse them with water.

There are two ways to deal with beans. One is to cut raw beans and sun them directly, and the other is to cook them before sun them. Dried beancurd dried with raw beans is green in color and tastes closer to that of fresh beans. Dry beans dried with boiled beans are brown and taste like dried plums and beans. Put the washed dried beans aside to control the water and dry them in the shade for a day, so that the fresh beans wilt slightly, so that the beans are tough and not easy to break when scraped with a blade. Then prepare an old razor blade, cut the beans in half from beginning to end with the blade, and keep the tail length at about 1 cm. Beans cut in half are easier to dry, which can greatly shorten the drying time, retain more nutrients in beans, and avoid long drying time and rain in the middle.

5, drying. Be sure to choose a sunny and well-ventilated place to dry the dried beans, and put the processed beans one by one on the clothesline or clothes rack. Half-cut beans are best to ride on the clothesline or clothes rack in herringbone, and try not to overlap. Remember to put the beans in the room at night and take them out to dry during the day until they are completely dehydrated and dry. A kilo of fresh beans can finally be dried into dried beans above 1.

6. save. Bundle the dried dried beans, put them into plastic bags, tie the bag tightly and store them in a dry place to prevent the dried beans from getting wet. Reminder: If the beans are found to be sour and the surface feels slippery during drying, it means that the beans have gone bad. Stop drying and throw them away directly.
