[It looks like a sea cucumber, but sea cucumbers have spines, right? This one is bare and plump, what is it?]
"This is indeed a sea cucumber, but sea cucumber is a general term, while black sea cucumber is a type of sea cucumber. Sea cucumbers are divided into two categories: smooth sea cucumbers and spiny sea cucumbers. Smooth sea cucumbers have no spines, while spiny sea cucumbers have spines. Most of the sea cucumbers sold in the Chinese market are spiny sea cucumbers, so people have formed the idea that all sea cucumbers have spines."
Tong Su held up a sea cucumber and waved it in front of the camera: "The large sea cucumber I have here is a smooth sea cucumber. Unlike other smooth sea cucumbers, sea cucumbers are also very nutritious. At top seafood banquets, large sea cucumbers are often the main dish. Its characteristic is that it has a thick skin and thin flesh, so the processing method is different from that of ordinary dried sea cucumbers. It requires a water and fire mixing method."
Wow...I don't understand, but it sounds amazing!
[Silently watching the streamer flaunt his wealth, when I first saw the room name, I thought the streamer was just bragging, but now it turns out, I'm really embarrassed.]
Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, just looking at these ingredients makes me want to kneel down in admiration.
[I want to see the streamer quickly cook something delicious...]
Tongsu didn't look at the comments. She picked out a large sea cucumber, placed it in front of the camera, and gave a detailed introduction.
"Look at this sea cucumber. The best one isn't necessarily the blackest color, but rather this kind of black and gray color. You can see that the gray tone is quite uniform, and the surface is smooth without any bumps. That's what makes it the finest."
"The sea cucumbers we buy from outside usually still contain moisture. If we put them directly into water to rehydrate, it will cause uneven water absorption, resulting in some parts being hard and others being soft, with inconsistent textures. Can you guess how to rehydrate such sea cucumbers?"
No, I don't know...
[It must be really awesome]
Poverty has limited my imagination.
Tong Su smiled gently.
"The so-called water-fire mixing method is to first dry it thoroughly, then roast it over a fire, scrape off the burnt outer skin, and then let it rise. Now, I'm putting it in the oven for low-temperature drying."
While the sea cucumber was being roasted, the hairy crabs were already steamed, each with a dazzling orange-red shell. Tongsu took the hairy crabs out to dry, and the comments section erupted with excited shouts.
[My goodness, I just realized these are all female crabs! Look, the crab roe is practically spilling out!]
[Host, let's not unpack the crab meat, let's eat it first, okay?]
Ahhh, I want to eat crab!
Tong Su ignored the comments at all. Instead, she took out the dried sea cucumber, put it over a small fire to burn, and after the outer skin turned charred, she took it off and scraped off the black skin with a knife.
"This treatment thoroughly removes moisture and exfoliates—girls often exfoliate when taking care of their faces, right? To make the sea cucumber soft and tender, exfoliation works on the same principle... Okay, now you can put it in water to soak."
The dark sea cucumber was placed in a large, snow-white bowl, and clear, pure water was poured in. Tong Su added some chopped scallions and ginger slices, saying, "This will remove its astringent taste. This step is essential when making sea cucumber."
[Emmm, I won't do it, because I simply can't afford it!]
[The content is extremely disturbing and has been reported.]
[Report this streamer for flaunting their wealth!]
After processing the sea cucumber and drying the hairy crabs, Tongsu gently pried the crab legs off, removing the joints along with the legs. She then set aside the two large claws to be removed later.
Fold the crab leg at the joint, make a cut at the joint to separate the crab leg into two sections, and remove the snow-white, crystal-clear crab meat from the joint at the base of the crab leg and place it in the crystal bowl next to it...
