Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the Hericium erinaceus for soaking;

   

2. 2 Soak the Hericium erinaceus in the rice washing water for 2 hours. The Hericium erinaceus will float. You can put a heavy object in the bowl to press it so that the Hericium erinaceus can absorb enough water;

   

3. 3 The soaked Hericium erinaceus has become soft. Check with your hands whether there are any dry and hard parts. If there are any, you can continue to soak them for a while. If not, dig out the hard core in the middle of the Hericium erinaceus;

   

4. 4 Wash Hericium erinaceus repeatedly with clean water (warm water). At this time, you will see the water turn yellow. Pour it out and squeeze and scrub again with clean water. Repeat three to four times until the yellow color fades away;

6. 6 Put the hericium mushrooms into a large bowl and steam them in a steamer for more than 30 minutes. Calculate the time after the water boils. The Hericium erinaceus which is not bitter is soaked successfully.
