How to make dried sea cucumber?

After you get the sea cucumber you have to remove the internal organs, unless of course you want to eat them ;). Wash all of the dirt and sand out. Then boil it in salty water for about 15 min, and and dry it. When you're ready to use it in your food put the sea cucumber in a pot and let it soak in cold water for at least 12 hours, cook it over low heat for 1 or 2 hours. Make sure that the water always completely covers the cucumber. Remove it from the heat, let it cool to room temperature, and then let it drain.|||You just let it dry in the summer dry air under slight shade (otherwise it will go bad) but really-- it smells so bad during the process so it is well worth your money to buy it
