How to Prepare Dried Ponmo

Because this product is dried rather than fresh ponmo, it needs to be properly rehydrated before use.
Soak the required quantity in water to begin softening it. Wash and clean thoroughly, then boil until it reaches your preferred tenderness before adding it to your soup, stew or sauce.
Preparation time may vary depending on the thickness and dryness of the pieces.
