Used for food processing
Usually, when boiling vegetables, if you want the vegetables to stay crispy, after they are cooked, you just pick them up and immediately put them in a bowl of ice water. The ice water will quickly cool the vegetables, keep their beautiful green color, and make them even crispier. Similarly, you can use this method for boiling certain types of root vegetables like carrots and peas.
In addition, you can also soak some boiled meats in ice water to cool them quickly, make them firm, and easy to cut. Ice water will make boiled chicken feet crispier.
Reduce fat in food
If a soup has too much fat, what can you do? Just put a few pieces of ice in that soup pot. The ice will solidify the layer of fat and make it float on the surface, and now you just need to remove them and you will have the perfect soup.
Use ice water to reheat rice
When reheating cold rice, stir the rice evenly and add a few ice cubes. Cover the rice cooker and turn on the normal cooking mode until the rice jumps to the keep warm mode.
The ice cubes will quickly melt and penetrate uniformly into the rice grains, making them soft and pliable without being dry and hard. The steam from the ice cubes will also make the rice grains swollen but not too sticky and reduce the risk of burning at the bottom of the pot.
Make salads fresher
If you often make salads, you will find that they often become limp and less fresh after being mixed. So change the mixing method a little to make the dish more attractive, before mixing, add an ice cube, and then pour the dressing over it.
With this simple method, your salad will surely stay fresh, crispy, and sweet.
Make bitter gourd crispy
