How to process fresh sea cucumbers

Sea cucumber is a familiar seafood food. People who often eat seafood know that seafood needs to be processed before they can be made by themselves. However, fresh sea cucumbers have their own production methods and need to be processed before production. Most people don’t know exactly how to deal with it. However, if sea cucumbers are not processed, their taste will be affected. But what are the methods for processing fresh sea cucumbers?

First method:

1. Once you bring fresh sea cucumbers home, be sure to open their stomachs in time, otherwise the sea cucumbers will quickly become thinner or even dissolve into liquid. The method is very simple. First, cut open the stomach of the fresh sea cucumber, then wash it with clean water and then take it out.

2. Put the cleaned sea cucumber into boiling water for about 45 minutes, and boil the sea cucumber until it is small and feels elastic. This step can also be done by placing the cleaned sea cucumbers in a pressure cooker for about 30 minutes.

3. Put the sea cucumber in water for 12 hours.

4. Wash the sea cucumber with cold water and soak it in purified water or cold water. Usually soak for two days, and make sure to change the water several times in between. If you keep it in the refrigerator, you can change the water a few times. After two days of soaking, you will find that the sea cucumbers are larger and softer than when they were cooked, which makes them suitable for making a variety of delicious foods.

Second method:

Add egg white and sugar, beat for a few minutes, then wash with clean water, put into the pressure cooker, add star anise, onion, ginger slices, and heat for about 10 minutes. Soak the live sea cucumber in hot alkali for 4 hours, then take it out and rinse it with clean water, immediately put it in water and put it in the refrigerator for several hours.
