"Jiang's Sea Cucumber Soup is a very special sea cucumber dish. I have seen many ways to cook sea cucumber and tasted numerous sea cucumber soups, but I have never encountered a dish like Jiang's Sea Cucumber Soup, which from preparation to flavor is so unique and exceptional," he said.
"First, I would like to introduce the method of this dish, which is very unique. Normally, if high broth is needed in a dish, only one type would be used, but this dish uses two different broths—meat broth and chicken broth. From simmering the two broths to adding the sea cucumbers for red braising, until finally lifting the cucumbers out to dice them, and adding diced mushrooms and bamboo shoots, then simmering to reduce the sauce and lastly thickening it, the whole process takes nearly 12 hours. The sophistication of this dish's concept and the complexity of its steps definitely make it one of the top five dishes I have ever seen," he stated.
