Scallion Braised Sea Cucumber

About This Recipe

This Sea Cucumber with Broccoli and Scallion Oil is a luxurious yet balanced dish that combines tender sea cucumber, crisp broccoli, and aromatic scallion oil for a rich umami experience. The sea cucumber is first blanched, then infused with deep flavor by simmering in fragrant chicken broth with a spice ball. Golden-fried scallions create a fragrant oil that elevates the dish, while fresh ginger, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine add layers of savory depth. The broccoli, blanched in the same broth, stays vibrant and tender. Finished with a glossy sauce thickened with water starch and a drizzle of scallion oil, this dish is garnished with fresh fish seeds and garlic sprouts for a burst of freshness. Perfect for special occasions, this recipe highlights delicate textures and masterful seasoning for an unforgettable meal.
