    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly wash the sea cucumber in cold water, then cut into smaller pieces.

    2

    Blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to preserve its texture.

    3

    Place the sea cucumber pieces, thinly sliced garlic cloves, and bay leaves into a sterilized jar.

    4

    In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, brown sugar, salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and dill to a boil. Let it simmer for a few minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

    5

    Pour the cooled brine over the sea cucumber, ensuring it's completely submerged.

    6

    Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    For the best flavor, let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours before serving.
