Before stir-fried potato threads, it's necessary to rinse with water, this layer of starch has a use, it's a pity to discard it directly
Hello everyone, potatoes are a food often eaten by many families, although strictly speaking, potatoes are not vegetables, but they are similar to sweet potatoes and are foods that are recommended to consume some of every day. The cooking methods of potatoes are also relatively simple, but compared to steamed potatoes and mashed potatoes, most families still prefer to eat stir-fried potato threads
Stir-fried potato threads are not very different from other stir-fried dishes, but there are differences, such as the requirements for knife work are higher, and secondly, it is necessary to wash before frying, otherwise it will stick together when fried. So after slicing, find a container to add water, soak and wash
After cooking, the washed water is directly discarded, but this is really a waste. As long as you know how to use it, you will never discard these waters
First: The water from washing potato threads is milky white water, in fact, this milky white thing is the familiar starch. You can let this pot of water stand, and the starch will slowly settle to the bottom. After settling, pour out the upper water and leave the bottom starch. Then put it in a smaller container
At this time, the starch is still sticky, wait until it dries
Actually, this is a process of making starch by yourself, isn't it interesting?
Second: Tender meat, when making meat at home, such as stir-fried chicken breast and pork, we worry that the meat is too tough and the texture is not soft. In fact, the way of frying makes the water in the meat evaporate quickly, a convenient method is to use the same water to stand, then pour out the upper water and leave the lower wet starch, put the meat in and mix with the starch, then soak for a while and pour into the pot for frying, the meat will be much more tender and soft
Third: Cleaning tableware, some tableware has been washed with oily food, and the surface is very greasy. If you use washing powder, you are worried about having to rinse repeatedly with foam. You can try using this water from washing potato threads, because the starch can wrap the grease, making the sticky grease very easy to clean, very convenient, and after wiping off the oil, you can just rinse it lightly, without worrying about foam residues
