Cleaning of sea cucumbers

With the improvement of social living standards, although sea cucumbers are precious, many people can eat them in daily life. The nutritional value of sea cucumbers is very high. Eating them can resist fatigue and improve the body's resistance, which is very good for health. However, although sea cucumbers have many cooking methods and are rich in nutrition, they need to be cleaned before making them. What is the cleaning method of sea cucumbers?

How to clean sea cucumbers

How to clean fresh sea cucumbers:

1. The sea cucumbers you buy must be soaked in an oil-free container

2. Wash the surface of the sea cucumber first, then cut it in half with a knife

3. Remove the internal impurities and rinse them clean

4. The sea cucumber needs to be blanched in water. Just keep it in large pieces before blanching. No need to cut it.

How should sea cucumbers be processed before soaking?

First, cut the sea cucumber. Use a pair of clean scissors to turn the soaked sea cucumber over. You will see a small notch at the bottom. Insert the scissors along the small notch and cut both sides to the end.

Viewed from the back, there is not much difference between the head and tail of the sea cucumber, but if you turn it over, you can see that there is a flower-like protrusion on the head of the sea cucumber, which is the sea cucumber's sand mouth. The inside of the sand spit is connected to some white substances. Many people think that they are the teeth of sea cucumbers. In fact, these are just some residual lime and have no nutritional value, so they also need to be removed.

Dealing with sand spits is actually a relatively simple task. You can use scissors to cut off the sand spits as a whole along the bottom of the "teeth". Be careful not to break the sand spits during the operation.

If the operator is skilled in the operation, the sand spout can be removed with a gentle push of the thumb. This is more convenient and less likely to break the sand spout. If the sand spout is not completely removed, impurities may remain inside the sea cucumber, which will affect the taste of the entire sea cucumber, which is what we often call "unpleasant to the taste".

After removing the sand spits from the sea cucumber, turn over the belly of the sea cucumber and you will see several white sea cucumber tendons inside. Sea cucumber tendons are very nutritious, but they will affect the size of the sea cucumber after it expands. Use scissors to cut the sea cucumber tendons into small pieces, which will help the sea cucumber expand.

Finally, rinse the sea cucumber inside and out with pure water. This completes the work of removing the sea cucumber's sand mouth, and then you can proceed with the processing.
