How to make fern root powder

1) Bring the water in the pot to a boil, hold one end of the fern root powder with your hand, spread it gently, and immediately stir it with chopsticks to soak all the fern root powder in the water. Turn the heat to medium and cook for about 4 minutes until the fern root powder becomes soft and there is no hard core in the middle when you pinch it with chopsticks.

2) Remove from the water with a colander and cool in clean water. Use chopsticks to gently stir a few times to prevent the fern root powder from sticking.

3) Peel the garlic and mince it with a garlic press. Cut the green and red peppers into small slices. Take a small bowl and add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and salt and stir well.

4) Take out the cooled fern root powder, drain the water, put it into the seasoning bowl and mix well. Finally, add minced garlic, green and red peppers, fried peanuts, and drizzle with red oil.

Kind tips

**Fern root powder is a starchy food made from the starch extracted from the roots of wild ferns. It can be bought in supermarkets and looks like "black vermicelli". There are many forms of fern root powder, some are thin vermicelli-shaped, and some are wide strips. I personally think that the thin powder is easier to absorb the flavor.

**Fern root powder is a starchy food and must be cooked until there is no hard core in the middle before it can be eaten. For friends with poor digestion, it is best to eat it in moderation.

**This is a very common dish in restaurants. In fact, it is not difficult. As long as the proportion of the seasoning is well mastered, everyone can make it delicious. For the soy sauce used for cold dishes, I recommend Lee Kum Kee's premium first-grade soy sauce, which I have only seen sold in Carrefour. But this soy sauce is recommended to be refrigerated after opening the bottle.

**People always ask me about the garlic press. I bought it at IKEA for about 20 yuan. Because the mesh part can be removed separately, it is very convenient to clean.
