First of all, we need to understand the basics of dried sea cucumbers. Dried sea cucumber is a kind of sea cucumber that has been dehydrated and dried, and its nutritional value is very high, rich in protein, amino acids, minerals and trace elements. Moreover, dried sea cucumber also has good medicinal value and is known as "sea ginseng".
Okay, without further ado, let's start brewing dried sea cucumbers!
Step 1: Prepare tools and materials.
The tools we need to prepare are: clean containers, water, salt, and ice. Of course, the ingredient is dried sea cucumber!
Step 2: Wash the dried sea cucumbers.
Put the dried sea cucumber in a container, add enough water, and gently scrub it with your hands to remove impurities from the surface. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the skin of the sea cucumber. When washing is done, drain the water.
Step 3: Soak the sea cucumber.
In a cleaned container, add an appropriate amount of water, then add an appropriate amount of salt, and stir well. Then put the cleaned dried sea cucumber in salted water and soak for 4-6 hours. The purpose of this step is to allow the sea cucumber to absorb enough water and become soft.
Step 4: Change the water.
After soaking for 4-6 hours, you will find that the sea cucumber has become soft. At this time, we need to pour out the water in the container, add new water, and continue to soak for 4-6 hours. This allows the sea cucumber to absorb water better and become fuller.
Step 5: Boil the sea cucumber.
During the soaking process, we can put the sea cucumber in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and cook it over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes. The purpose of this step is to make the sea cucumber more ripe and taste better. After cooking, remove the sea cucumber and place it in ice water to cool.
Step 6: Slice.
Cut the boiled sea cucumber into thin slices to make it easier to eat. The sliced sea cucumber can be used for stewed soups, stir-fried vegetables, cold salads, etc., and it is very delicious.
The last step: save.
Put the soaked dried sea cucumber in the refrigerator and store it for about a week. Each time you eat, take out an appropriate amount of sea cucumber slices, heat them and serve them.
Well, after these six steps, our dried sea cucumber is ready!Isn't it very simple?Moreover, the soaked dried sea cucumber is not only delicious, but also has a very high nutritional value. So, hurry up and give it a try!You're sure you'll love this delicious marine delicacy!
