How to store sea cucumber after soaking

Sea cucumbers are usually sold in the market as dried products. People must soak them in advance if they want to eat them after purchasing them. However, people often soak too much sea cucumbers and cannot eat them all at once, so they want to preserve the soaked sea cucumbers. But how should these soaked sea cucumbers be preserved?

How to store sea cucumber after soaking

1. Store sea cucumbers in ice after soaking

After the sea cucumbers are soaked, they can be preserved in ice cubes. When preserving, you can put the ice cubes on a foam board, and then put the sea cucumbers on the ice cubes. Replace the ice cubes once a day. The soaked sea cucumbers can be preserved for about a month without deteriorating.

2. Sea cucumbers can be stored in the refrigerator after soaking

Sea cucumbers can be preserved in the refrigerator after being soaked by hands, but the shelf life of sea cucumbers using this method is short, and cannot exceed three days at most. In addition, the sea cucumbers need to be soaked in pure water when stored, and the water needs to be changed two to three times a day. The container for soaking the sea cucumbers must also be covered, otherwise the sea cucumbers will easily deteriorate.

3. After the sea cucumber is soaked, it should be preserved with plastic wrap

After the sea cucumbers are soaked, they can be preserved with plastic wrap. The simplest way is to wrap each sea cucumber with plastic wrap, put it in the freezer of the refrigerator, and freeze it. When you want to eat a few, you can take out a few and thaw them. When thawing the sea cucumbers, you must not cook them in a pot. You can use hot water to blanch them, otherwise the nutrients of the sea cucumbers will be lost in large quantities and the taste will deteriorate.
