1. Lay the tortoise flat or turn over, step on its body with your feet, and when its neck sticks out, cut its neck quickly with scissors or a kitchen knife. It's best to take a bowl to hold the blood, otherwise it will be everywhere.

2. If you are really afraid of killing, you can send it to the market, ask the store specializing in slaughter to help you kill it, and clean and process it yourself.

3. After the slaughter, boil a pot of water, the water temperature is about 8-1 degrees, then put the soft-shelled turtle in hot water and scald it for 3-5 minutes.

4. Be sure to put the turtle into the water immediately after slaughter. If it is left for too long, the turtle will secrete a lot of toxic substances, and the water temperature can depend on the tenderness of the turtle.

5. Tear off the film on the turtle. If you are afraid of heat, you can soak it in cold water before tearing it off. After cleaning the turtle, use scissors to cut it off from under the skirt of the turtle, but don't cut off the skirt.

6. The skirt, also called the flying edge, is located around the tortoise and is the most fragrant and beautiful part of the tortoise.

7. Lift the cover to remove the viscera and butter. You can also cut a cross on the tortoise's abdomen with scissors to dig out the viscera and butter. After cleaning the tortoise, cut off its four legs and tail sheath and remove all the butter inside.
