Cooking Method:
- Soak the sea cucumbers in water for about 3 to 5 days (depending on their sizes), and change the water at least twice or three times every day. When the weather is hot,please conduct above procedure in fridge(0-8℃).
- Put them in boiling water and boil for about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the vessel, and allow the water to cool down. If the cucumbers are too large, repeat the previous steps 1 or 2 times until the sea cucumbers become soft.
- Remove the sea cucumbers from the water and cut them open to remove internal organs and impurities. Rinse them and cut them into pieces (according to cooking requirements), and then set aside for later use.
- 海参以清水泡发约3天至5天（视乎大小而定），每天必须更换清水2~3次或以上，天热时建议放入雪柜(0-8℃)浸发为宜；
- 把泡发好的海参放入沸水内煲煮约20 分钟，熄火盖上煲盖焗至水冷，若海参体积较大可重复以上步骤一至两次，直至海参两端都变得柔软为止；
