Braised sea cucumber with scallions

Method

1. 1 Soak dried sea cucumbers for 24 hours, changing the water four times, then simmer for 40 minutes until tender.
2. 2 Absolutely do not let sea cucumbers come into contact with oil or grease while soaking, as the oil will cause the sea cucumbers to rot.
3. 3 Cut the white part of the scallions into 6 cm pieces and fry them in pork fat for 8 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.
4. 4 Remove the onions but reserve the onion oil; the onion oil is the essence of this dish's flavor.
5. 5 Simmer the sea cucumber in chicken broth with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rock sugar for 25 minutes.
6. 6 Add the chopped scallions, then mix in the cornstarch until the sauce is thick and glossy, coating the sea cucumber completely.
