Yes, it is called gamat and has a lot of nutritional value.

I watched a local TV programme, Step Forward, hosted by Dylan, where the Malay fisherman just picked up the sea cucumber, sliced it into two and ate it raw. He claimed it is very nutritious and delicious.

Besides cooking it in soups, it can also be cooked as a dish.

Cut the sea cucumber slantwise about 5mm thick.

Cut some carrots and bamboo shoot leaves, lengthwise too.

Button mushrooms, straw mushrooms, prawns, any meat you want and garlic.

Saute garlic and add in meat and prawns...stirfry.

Add in the carrots, bamboo shoot leaves, mushrooms, and sea cucumber.

Stirfry over medium heat for a few minutes....not too long.

Add some water and stir.

Add salt, pepper, oyster sauce....stir again.

Add in tapioca or corn flour diluted with some water first.

Stir again and serve.

I cook without measurements, just by vision and taste but I am sure you know how much to put into the wok :~)

Happy cooking, Yuna.

I don't eat sea cucumber, just the other ingredients hahaha...

Please do not put in too much salt, maybe no salt should be added because most Oyster Sauce are salty enough.
