    How Do I Cook Sea Cucumber?

    Despite its name, the sea cucumber is actually a marine animal. You may find sea cucumber dishes in Chinese celebration meals, but not on the nightly dinner table, as the food takes a long time to prepare. When purchasing a fresh sea cucumber, look for one that is a shiny black color and has a smooth surface.

    Step 1

    Fill your cooking pot 3/4 full of water. Place the pot on the stove and bring water to a boil.

    Step 2

    Add the sea cucumber and five to 10 ginger slices to the boiling water.

    Step 3

    Boil cucumber until it expands to two or three times its original size. Boil until the cucumber is soft.

    Step 4

    Remove it from the water. Slice and add to your favorite stews, stir-frys or soups.
