How to wash and cook fresh sea cucumbers?
The function of pre-cooking of live sea cucumber is to remove the strong fishy smell and astringency of live sea cucumber and highlight its umami taste, and to master the texture of live sea cucumber. If the temperature is too high, the sea cucumber will be chewy, dry and dull like rubber strip; If the temperature is insufficient, the texture of live sea cucumber will not reach the degree of softness and the effect will not be ideal. In the following, two methods of initial cooking of live sea cucumber are compared and introduced. The first method: blanch the whole live sea cucumber in boiled rice elutriation water, take it out quickly, rinse it with clear water, cut open the abdomen, take out the viscera of the sea cucumber and wash it with clear water. Put the rice washing water for the second time in the pot, add the sea cucumber to boil, steam for about four or five minutes on low heat, then take it out and drain it, and you can cook directly.

(2) After the live sea cucumber is cooked, it should be cooled slowly when fishing, and then the knife should be changed. (3) The live sea cucumbers processed by this method are generally suitable for cold dishes (such as mixing, frying, drunkenness and other cooking techniques), and their representative dishes are cold sea cucumbers, fried sea cucumbers and drunken sea cucumbers.
