Method
- 1 Soak dried sea cucumbers for 48 hours, changing the water four times. Absolutely avoid any contact with oil, as oil will cause the sea cucumbers to rot.
- 2 Boil the sea cucumber with ginger and onion for 20 minutes, then clean out the intestines and cut into pieces.
- 3 Blanch the bok choy for 60 seconds, then soak it in ice water to keep the stems crisp and green.
- 4 Sauté the ginger, then pour in Shaoxing wine, add the sea cucumber and simmer in chicken broth for 12 minutes.
- 5 Mix cornstarch to coat the sauce with a glossy layer, then arrange the bok choy around the plate and drizzle with the sauce and sea cucumber.
