Wash the jade pillars and soak them in cold water. The longer the better. I usually wash it before going to bed at night, put it in a bowl and soak it in the refrigerator, and take it out and cook it at noon the next day, or soak it at noon in the morning and cook it at night. Do not throw away the soaking water. If it is a small grain of Yao Zhu, it does not need to be soaked for so long. You can just wash it and cook it directly. The small Yao Zhu can easily taste it.
