*I used the 4.5 inches dried sea cucumbers.
*Dried sea cucumbers muz be handle with lots of care, gotto boil till it expand, removes all intestines & unwanted stuffs from the interior part.
*Always soak sea cucumbers in water & the water gotto be kept clean at all times.
*Boil them twice daily until they expand & are soft enough to cook.
*Store the ready sea cucumbers in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
(Lots of work involved ya?! Haha..but for sake of good food, its worth the effort)
