Often, products that have become familiar to us can be prepared in a completely different way.
For example, many housewives soak pasta in advance to save time.
Culinary expert of TUT NOVOSTI, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova revealed why this should be done.
Why do you need to soak pasta?
If you don't want the side dish to turn into an unappetizing, solid piece of dough while cooking, you need to soak them in water first.
Soaking occurs as follows:
- take a container of sufficient size and pour water into it;
- Pasta is placed in it so that the liquid completely covers it.
The pasta needs to soak for a few hours, but it's worth the wait. While the side dish is rising, you can do some housework.
All you have to do is place them in boiling water and cook for a minute: after soaking, the side dish is ready almost instantly.
