Cooking tips:Pot, boil, burn. No matter what kind of cooking method, I hope to eat soft and tender kelp finally. So, how to make the dried kelp soft quickly? The trick is to add some vinegar to the dried kelp. Kelp contains alginate and other colloids. These substances are insoluble in water. After absorbing water, they expand rapidly and become sticky colloids on the surface of kelp. They prevent water from entering further, so that dry kelp is usually difficult to soak through. If you add a little vinegar to the kelp, the acidity of vinegar can easily destroy the glue that blocks the water from entering. Kelp can also be very soft. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
