Don't wash pork with clean water after buying it, or the more you wash it, the dirtier it gets
Did you know? Many vegetables and meats actually can't be cleaned with clean water, and the more you wash them, the dirtier they get, such as cabbage and pork! Today Huahua will tell everyone how to properly wash vegetables!
Pork - wash with rice water
Newly bought pork looks not dirty on the surface, but after sitting for so long on the dirty cutting board at the market, it has more grease and dirt on the surface than you would think. Simply washing it with water makes the grease float on the surface, which not only fails to clean it but also easily dirties the sink.
Correct washing method
Soak it in rice water for 10 minutes to remove the attached grease and soil, then rinse it clean with cold water. Hot water cannot be used.
Cabbage - wash with salt water
Many people think that since cabbage leaves are wrapped so tightly, the inside must be clean. That is completely wrong! In fact, pesticide residue and small insects easily remain inside, and rinsing directly with clean water cannot get it clean.
Correct washing method
Cut off the root, peel off the leaves one by one, soak them in salt water for 10 minutes, then rinse them clean with clean water. This way it is not only clean and hygienic, but the stir-fried dish is also crisper.
Mushrooms - soak first, then wash
Mud and sand hide in the fine, dense textures of mushrooms. Washing only the surface is useless and still leaves them unclean.
Correct washing method
First soak them in clean water for a while, then use your hands to rotate them in one direction so that the "gill pages" on the underside slowly open, allowing the mud, sand and impurities inside to fall out. Finally take them out and rinse them clean with clean water.
Fish - wash with vinegar
Newly bought fish has a strong fishy smell and a lot of mud and sand, and clean water definitely cannot wash it clean. How can you both remove the fishy smell and the dirt? Wash it with vinegar.
Correct washing method
Soak the fish in cold water, pour in 2 spoonfuls of vinegar, and after soaking for one hour the fishy smell is gone. At this point it is easier to remove the scales, and fish prepared this way tastes better.
Rice water can also be used to wash fresh fish.
Crabs and shellfish - scrub first, then wash
Crabs and shellfish seafood have a lot of dirty stuff inside. Soaking them in water and cooking them directly is very unhygienic.
Correct washing method
First scrub the shells with salt water, then put the crabs in lightly salted water to soak so they spit out the filth in their stomachs. Only by repeatedly changing the water can they be washed clean.
Soak shellfish in water, and it is best to add a few drops of sesame oil to stimulate them so they easily spit out mud and sand. Generally they need to soak for 2 to 3 hours before they are cleaned thoroughly.
No amount of care is too much for what goes into your mouth
