Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the sea cucumber pieces for 30 seconds to remove impurities, then drain well and set aside.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Blanching helps to achieve a cleaner flavor in the final dish.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper to create the sauce base.
Aproximativ 2 min.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the wok is hot before adding aromatics to prevent them from becoming oily.
4
Add the scallion sections, sliced ginger, and smashed garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Aproximativ 2 min.
5
Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the wok and add the blanched sea cucumber pieces.
Aproximativ 1 min.
6
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Keep the simmer gentle to prevent the sea cucumber from becoming tough.
7
While the sea cucumber simmers, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to form a smooth slurry.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Using cold water is crucial to prevent the cornstarch from clumping.
8
Uncover the wok, increase heat to medium, and gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency.
Aproximativ 1 min.
9
Turn off the heat and stir in the sesame oil.
Nota bucătarului: Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its delicate aroma.
10
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the julienned scallion greens before serving immediately.
