BEAUTY FOOD:SEA CUCUMBER WITH HERBAL SOUP (NON HALAL)

Hi Foodies,

Behold today's menu, something that you will probably see on a friday Horror movie XP. I am just kidding  XP.  I am sharing with you this SEA Cucumber cooked the traditional.way. The look for sea cucumber might just shocked most of you but XP it is one of the beauty food for youthful skin.

It is one of the beauty food recommended to look beautiful and have smooth bouncy skin since sea cucumber contains a lot of collage and it has zero fats in them XP.  Please overlook their hideous looks.

This is one of the recipe used to cook the sea cucumber.  It is actually quite troublesome considering one need to soak and change the water for the sea cucumber and also take few hours to prepare the trotter. It is kind of difficult to cook actually.  Nevertheless, I still need to put this up because I don't know when I will get to eat sea cucumber again considering the price. > <

1. Clean the pig trotter and boiled it with water for 15 minutes.  Take it out and wash it again with water. Remove all the fats.  Do not use back the water to boil the pork just now.
2.  Add in clean water, pork , red dates, mushroom, shallot, black pepper into a clean pot.
3. Boiled for 2 hours.  Then add in sea cucumber and cooked for another 30 minutes.
4. Then add in soya sauce, some vegetables.

You can use chicken to replace the trotter.

So are you still with me or some of you are already fainted looking into amount of  NSFW ?

The steps might look little and easy considering that I did not mention the amount of time to clean the sea cucumber as well as the time one need to clean the trotter properly.  Make sure to really clean the sea cucumber or it will taste really horrible.


My friend doesn't like sea cucumber because it is tasteless and most people feel like you are eating a blob of tasteless slob. However, beauty enthusiast loves it for the protein and collagen without adding extra pounds onto the body. Well, natural collagen inside the body to get the anti ageing effect which is better than sea cucumber cream?
