Sea Cucumber with Braised Pork - Mom's Taste, Healthy Cooking, Lazy Ways

Home | 3 sea cucumbers with braised pork
I still remember when I was young, the happiest time was seeing my mother cook a pot full of braised pork with thick oil and red sauce. Just a few bowls of rice. Tonight, we will combine the classic braised pork with sea cucumber, and use the simplest lazy method to complete a braised sea cucumber with thick oil and red sauce in three steps. Because we will choose two sea cucumbers for today's dish, the name of the dish has become braised double sea cucumbers.
Braised sea cucumbers need to choose sea cucumbers with thick flesh and thick gums. American sea cucumbers and Mexican double row sea cucumbers in the American sea cucumber series are the first choice for braised sea cucumbers.

The fat used in this dish is the fat of the pork belly itself, and no extra oil is added, so it is much healthier than the traditional braised green onion and sea cucumber cooked in heavy oil.

Sea cucumbers have been stewed for a long time, and the flesh of the sea cucumbers has been covered with a layer of black and bright sugar color.

The colloidal fibers are broken during slow cooking, so that it achieves a silky and smooth taste that melts in the mouth (in contrast, the taste of waist ginseng is smoother and tender than double-row sea cucumber). The umami taste of the sea cucumber itself is also combined with the strong taste of the braised pork, making the dish more fragrant and delicious.
