Two methods:

1. Hot soaking method: First soak the sea cucumbers in hot water for 24 hours (you can put it directly into the pot with cold water and boil, then cover and simmer for 4 hours) -5 hours), then remove the internal organs from the opening under the abdomen, then replace with new water, cook over high heat for about 50 minutes, then soak in the original soup, and it will be ready after 24 hours.

2. Cold water soaking method: immerse the sea cucumber in clean water and soak it for about 3 days; take it out, perform a laparotomy to remove the intestines and peritoneum, and then soak it in clean water. After soaking until soft, it can be processed and eaten. In this method, you need to change the water several times in hot weather, and always pay attention to whether it has softened.

When soaking sea cucumbers, be sure not to be contaminated with oil, alkali, or salt, otherwise it will prevent the sea cucumbers from absorbing water and swelling, reduce the yield, and even cause the sea cucumbers to melt and rot. Sea cucumbers that have been fermented cannot be frozen again, otherwise the quality of sea cucumbers will be affected, so it is not advisable to ferment too much at one time.

Usually soaking hair in hot water is faster.

To foam dried sea cucumbers yourself, you should first bake them slightly on the fire, and then soak them in warm water overnight. This will help the dry lime on the outer skin to fall off.

The next day, gently brush the skin with a soft brush, boil it in water for half an hour, then turn off the heat and soak.

Boil it every day and soak it every day for five to seven days, until the sea cucumber is soft and swollen before taking it out. Although the procedure is cumbersome, there are no additives in the process. It is not only safe and hygienic, but also does not rot after being cooked for a long time. The freshly bought ones are delicious.

Sea cucumbers rot easily when exposed to oil, so the vessel in which sea cucumbers are soaked must be clean. In particular, oil and water should be avoided from contacting sea cucumbers that have not completely foamed. Otherwise, the outer skin will be soft and rotten, but the inner layer will remain hard, which is not good.
