Sea cucumber is known to lower high blood pressure. Last week, my chef prepared this yummy and nutritious soup with pork ribs, sea cucumbers, fish balls, dried abalone and coriander.
To remove the raw odour of the sea cucumbers, my chef stir fried the sea cucumber [with chopped ginger and Shaoxing wine (or other Chinese cooking wine)] first before adding them into the soup.

Food with medicinal value, I didn't know this.
btw, I intended to show the nest of a bird among those bananas.
I haven't tasted a sea cucumber before (or maybe I already did but never noticed). How does it taste? :)
Interesting soup!
One of my favourite seafood!! But it's a torture to wait days for it to soften submerge in water :(
p/s: Not my girl, my girl probably double that's little girl's age :P
Kind of nuritious soup. :)

Hi Dora, looks like its a tasty sea cucumber soup!! How lucky of you to have your chef prepare your food :)
Now that is different! I'd like to try it :)
very interesting!!!
indrani: oh i see. :)
mel & bluedreamer: Since it was treated with ginger and the wine, it has a combination of both tastes. If not treated, it will have some raw taste. I like to dip it in chilli & soy sauce. ;p
lisachaos & tiaras and tantrums: Ha ha. Esp when pork is mixed with a seafood.
napaboaniya: ć èŠćç!
little inbox: Yup. ;)
dez & sue: Enjoy!
katztales: My chef calls it "worm"....ha ha.
zj: Hee hee. I know some dishes also but too lazy to prepare. ;p

Oh...din try fish sauce since don't really like too "fishy" taste/smell. ;p
A lot of young pple don't like the slimy texture of sea cucumber. I belong to the older generation, apparently.
My chef loves it very much cos of the slimy texture too!
