Sea cucumber, an ancient and precious ingredient, also has its natural enemies.
What sea cucumbers are most afraid of is actually oil and salt. These two seemingly ordinary spices can cause fatal damage to sea cucumbers. Because more than 70% of the body of sea cucumber is water, oil and salt can accelerate the loss of water in the body of sea cucumber, so that sea cucumber loses its original elasticity and taste. In addition, sea cucumbers are also afraid of high and low temperatures. High temperature will destroy the protein and other nutrients in the sea cucumber's body, while low temperature will freeze the water in the sea cucumber's body, which will also destroy its original taste and nutritional value. Therefore, when cooking sea cucumbers, be careful not to soak them in oil and salt, and do not place them in a high or low temperature environment. In addition, sea cucumbers are also afraid of acidic substances. Because acidic substances will destroy the protein and other nutrients in the sea cucumber's body, so that the sea cucumber loses its original taste and nutritional value.
It turns out that the small sea cucumber also has so many precautions, it seems that we really need to understand the Xi of the ingredients before cooking. Only in this way can a delicious meal be made. Feel free to leave a comment and share your suggestions.
