Tips:
The characteristics of this dish: the sea cucumber is black and red, the color of quail eggs is golden, the green onion smell is strong, just like the oolong spit, the sea cucumber has a smooth entrance, the taste is strong and salty, and the aftertaste is slightly sweet.
Tips;
1. It is better to choose sea cucumbers that are slightly chewy. The senses are neat and the color is consistent, and there is no smell of mud. After buying it, soak it in clean water for 4-5 hours before using it. When using it, wash the sea cucumber with cold water. To clean the intestines, the containers for sea cucumbers must be clean and free of oil. Sea cucumbers that have not been burned should be stored in the refrigerator and the water should be changed twice a day.
2. Whether it is fried quail eggs or pigeon eggs, the temperature of the oil is high and it is very explosive. Be careful not to burn it. The oil is 50% hot during frying, and it can be fried without frying, but the color and taste are slightly worse.
3. To make dragon spit or scallion sea cucumber, use scallion oil and water to cook, and then pour it with scallion oil. Only use scallion water and scallion oil to make a strong flavor. Simmering in scallion water must use fried scallions. It’s good, so you don’t need to brush the pan after frying the scallion oil. Decant the scallion oil and add water to the pan to boil the scallion water to avoid the taste loss.
4. The method of roasting sea cucumber with green onion is roughly the same as that of oolong spitting beads, except that the quail eggs are removed and a few scallions with a good knife are used. The length of the green onion is 8 cm, and there are 5 pieces. Add a little oil to stir-fried shallot segments and pour into the shallot water. The follow-up procedure is the same as that of making oolong spit beads.
