①half-oil rising; ②pure water rising; ③evaporation.
No matter which method is used, the container and water used in the rising process should not be stained with oil and salt. Oil can make the sea cucumber dissolved, salt makes the sea cucumber is not easy to hair through.
Semi-oil hair: the first water will be washed sea cucumber outer skin, dry, into the refining after the cool oil pot with a slow fire heating, to be heard when the oil temperature rises snapping, one side of the hand spoon flip raw materials on the one hand, the spoon dragged away from the fire, to be sea cucumber back to the soft, fish out the control of the oil, with alkaline water to wash off the oil and grease, and finally with the boiling water to cook stew up, remove the sand intestines that become. Generally 500 grams of dry goods hair 2-2.5 kg of water goods, this hair method is now rarely used. Because: ① small material; ② it is difficult to master the degree of blanching in the sea cucumber hair; ③ even if the key to master the blanching oil, it is difficult to wash the sea cucumber in the washing of the appearance of the oil, often resulting in sea cucumber hair side of the phenomenon of the melting.
Pure water hair: first wash the sea cucumber with water, and then soak in water for 8 hours until the sea cucumber is soft, then change the water on the fire to slow boil for 5 minutes, and then leave the fire to soak for 8 hours, and then use scissors to cut open the abdomen, take out the ligament in the abdominal cavity, wash, and then change the water on the fire to slow boil for 5 minutes, and then soak and soak for 8 hours, and then change the water to soak in pure water when it is cooled down (another method of adding ice cubes or placing in the refrigerator). (Fresh layer of ice or placed in the refrigerator) so that repeated water changes three or four times, so that the astringency of the sea cucumber and other undesirable odors completely exhausted, about two days can make the sea cucumber to get a full hair rise. Generally speaking, 500 grams of dried sea cucumber from Zhifu Island and Kongdong Island can be dried to 3.5-5 kilograms of water. This method is especially suitable for families.
Evaporation: evaporation is also called borax hair. It is one of the alkaline water hair methods. First wash the sea cucumber and add boiling water to soak for 3 hours to soften it. After changing the boiling water, add the appropriate amount of borax (generally 500 grams of sea cucumber to add 100 grams of borax), seal with plastic wrap, steam on the drawer for 3-4 hours, take out and rinse with water, put in clean water to soak. Generally 500 grams of dry goods can be sent 3-4 kg of water goods. The sea cucumber sent with borax is full of form, rich in elasticity, and has less nutritional loss.
It should be noted that the size and thickness of sea cucumber varies, so the time of rising is also different. Smaller and thinner sea cucumbers can take shorter time to rise, and solid and thicker sea cucumbers should take longer time to rise. Some of the same size, same thickness, same species, there are first hair through and after hair through when rising. The first one should be picked out first, and the one that is not hairy should continue to be hairy until it is hairy.
Sea cucumbers can be frozen with water after they are ready, and they can be soaked in hot water and eaten directly. But to avoid the long time the water condensation of the body of the ginseng dehydration dry. Sea cucumber is often used as a main dish in various cuisines. After the hair system is suitable for a variety of cooking methods, the most suitable for burning, grilling, braising, simmering, but also can blanch soup, do filling. The meat is soft and tender, and the taste is crisp and rich. Because the sea cucumber itself does not have obvious flavor, production, must be supplemented by soup to enhance the flavor.
