There are three main puffing methods in dry sea cucumber: ① Half-oil puffing; 2 pure water hair; ③ Evaporation. No matter which method is adopted, the container and water used in the expansion process should not be stained with oil and salt. Oil can make sea cucumber melt, but salt makes it difficult to penetrate.

Semi-oily hair: firstly, clean the sea cucumber skin with clear water, dry it, put it in a refined oil pan and heat it with slow fire. When the oil temperature rises and you hear a crackling sound, while turning the raw materials with your hand spoon, drag the spoon away from the fire hole. After the sea cucumber becomes soft, take out the clean oil, rinse it with alkaline water to remove the oil, and finally blanch it with boiling water to make it swell, and take out the sausage. Generally, 500 grams of dry goods with 2-2.5 kilograms of parallel imports are rarely used now. Because: ① the discharge is small; (2) It is difficult to grasp the degree of sea cucumber oil in the rising process; (3) Even if the key to frying is mastered, it is difficult to wash off the oil on the surface of the sea cucumber when washing, which often causes the phenomenon that the sea cucumber grows fat while growing.

Pure water hair: firstly, wash the sea cucumber with clear water, then soak it in clear water for 8 hours until it becomes soft, then change it into clear water and cook it with slow fire for 5 minutes, then let it stand for 8 hours, then cut open the abdomen with scissors, take out the ligament in the abdominal cavity, wash it, change it into clear water and cook it with slow fire for 5 minutes, then let it stand for 8 hours, and then change it into pure water (add ice cubes or put it into the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator) after cooling for three or four times. Generally, 500 grams of Zhifu Island and dry sea cucumber in Kongtong Island can send 3.5-5 kilograms of parallel imports. This method is especially suitable for families.

Evaporation: evaporation is also called borax hair. It is a kind of alkaline water method. Wash the sea cucumber first, then add boiling water for 3 hours to make it soft again. After changing the boiled water, add a proper amount of borax (generally 500g seawater borax 100g), seal it with plastic wrap, steam it in a drawer for 3-4 hours, take it out, rinse it with clear water, and soak it in clear water. Generally, 500 grams of dry goods can send 3-4 kilograms of parallel imports. The sea cucumber made of borax is full in shape, elastic and less in nutrient loss.

It should be noted that the size and thickness of sea cucumbers are different, so the rising time is different. Small and thin sea cucumbers can swell in a shorter time, while solid and thick sea cucumbers take a longer time. Some are the same size, the same thickness, the same variety, and some are a dime. Sort out those that are sent first, and continue to send those that are not sent.

Sea cucumber can be frozen with water after it is prepared, and tonic can be eaten directly by soaking in hot water. But it can prevent ginseng from condensation, dehydration and drying for too long. Sea cucumber is often used as the main course on the table and is widely used in various cuisines. After making it, we should use various cooking methods, such as burning, roasting, stewing, frying, soup, stuffing and so on. The meat is soft, smooth and tender, and the taste is crisp and delicious. Because the sea cucumber itself has no obvious taste, it must be supplemented with clear soup to improve the taste.

Sea cucumber hair method: sea cucumber can be made of water, and the containers and water used for hair can not be stained with oil, alkali, salt and other ingredients. Because oil and alkali can easily decompose and dissolve sea cucumbers. Salt can make sea cucumbers opaque. The preparation method of water-soaked sea cucumber can be different according to the nature of raw materials. Red ginseng, black ginseng and vase ginseng with thin skin and tender meat should be boiled less and soaked more. Boil water 12 hour, and change the boiling water once. Soak until soft, then laparotomy, put in a boiling pot and cook for half an hour, then soak for 12 hour. Repeat this several times, and your hair will be soaked in 2 ~ 3 days. Change the water again after each heating. Black ginseng, rock ginseng, grey ginseng, etc. Taro with thick skin and thick meat cannot be boiled with water. First burn the skin with fire, then scrape it off until you see the dark brown meat; Then soak it in cold water for two days to soften it, then boil it in a cold water pot, keep the proper temperature (70 ~ 80℃) for 2 hours after boiling, and take it out to remove the intestines. Soak in cold water for 65,438+02 hours, then cook with clear water for 65,438+0 ~ 2 hours (increase or decrease the stewing time and times as appropriate according to the quality of sea cucumber), until the sea cucumber is soft and waxy, and change with clear water for later use. In the process of hair, we should prevent the hair from being opaque and too soft. You can pick out the good ones one by one and soak them in clear water for later use. Mingyu God, Tou Shen, Topaz, etc. Thin skin and thick meat can be cooked often and soaked many times. That is, the cooking time should not be too long. After the water is boiled, the pot should leave the fire source and soak for a long time.
