Should the skin of asparagus be removed? How to remove the old skin of asparagus is fast and convenient.

No matter imported asparagus or domestic asparagus, it is inevitable that the base of several tender stems in a handful of asparagus is too old or fibrosis. coupled with the fact that Taiwan is located in the subtropics, the temperature has always been on the high side. If fresh asparagus is not cooked immediately after harvest, and the storage environment is not cold enough, the base of the tender stem will also age or fibrosis rapidly. So the skin of asparagus should be removed.

However, in order to remove the old basal epidermis, the thin skin can only be slightly removed, and it will be broken if it is not handled well. in the end, it is inevitable to eat a trace of the old stem which is difficult to swallow. One is to "lie on a flat plate and peel asparagus": as long as you put the asparagus flat on the chopping board and put a plate next to it to pick up the asparagus skin, you can use a peeling knife to peel asparagus quickly. In this trick, if the base of the tender stem is soaked in water for 5 minutes to be fully absorbed, the better effect is to "lie on a plate in shallow water to cut asparagus": as long as the base of the asparagus to be peeled is flat against the bottom of the plate in shallow water, you can quickly peel with a peeling knife, and the thin skin will not stick to the peeling knife at all.

Quick peeling the first move: asparagus flat on a flat plate (or chopping board), you can use a peeling knife to peel quickly, if the base of the tender stem is soaked in water for 5 minutes, the peeling effect is more effective after absorbing enough water.

Quick peeling the second trick: use shallow water plate to fill water and can flood the stem of bamboo shoots, the base of asparagus to be peeled flat against the bottom of shallow water, you can use a peeling knife to quickly peel, and the thin skin will not stick to the peeling knife at all.

In general, after buying asparagus, if they do not have time to cook it immediately, when they need to temporarily store it in the refrigerator, please remember that the asparagus will continue to grow after harvest. If the asparagus is placed horizontally, it is less convenient to deal with it. If there is enough space, it is recommended to place asparagus in an upright way. It is also recommended to use a household tissue before putting it in the refrigerator. After soaking with water, lay it at the bottom of the unwanted fresh milk box (or in any vertical container). Then insert the asparagus upright into the box and suggest that it be covered with plastic wrap or fresh box to insulate the asparagus from contact with the air, and then put it into the freezer. In this way, the asparagus can remain green for two or three days and can be easily tasted fresh. Enjoy top cuisine!
