Two methods:

One, hot foaming method, first soak the sea cucumber in hot water for 24 hours (can be directly loaded into a pot with cold water and boiled, and then covered with a lid to soak for 4-5 hours), and then take out the internal organs from the underbelly, and then replace it with new water, cook it on fire for 50 minutes or so, and then soak it up with the original soup, and then it can be used after 24 hours.

Two, cold water foaming method, the sea cucumber immersed in water, about 3 days that is soaked; take out the disembowelment to remove intestinal impurities, peritoneum, and then change the soaking water, to be soaked and softened can be processed for consumption. This method in the hot days to change the water a few more times, and often pay attention to whether it has become soft.

When soaking the sea cucumber, do not contaminate with oil, alkali and salt, otherwise it will prevent the sea cucumber from absorbing water and expanding, reduce the production rate, and even make the sea cucumber dissolve, rot and deteriorate. The sea cucumber can not be frozen again, otherwise it will affect the quality of the sea cucumber, so it is not advisable to send too much at one time.

We usually use hot water to soak the sea cucumber, which is faster.

To make dried sea cucumber by yourself, you should slightly bake the dried sea cucumber on the stove fire first, and then soak it in warm water for one night, which will help to make the dried lime on the outer skin fall off.

The next day, gently brush the skin with a soft brush and boil it in water for half an hour, then remove it from the fire and soak it.

Boiling and soaking every day for five to seven days until the sea cucumber is soft and big before taking it out. Although the procedure is tedious, there is no additive in the process, so it is not only safe and hygienic, but also tastes better than the ones bought from the market as it will not be rotten after a long time of boiling.

Sea cucumbers are easy to rot when they meet oil, so the vessel for soaking sea cucumbers must be clean, especially avoiding oil and water contact with sea cucumbers that have not yet been fully foamed, otherwise the outer skin will be soft and the inner layer will still be hard, but it's not good.
