Method/Steps

1. Cleaning and processing the turtle is the key. The slaughtered turtle needs to be bled, and the back, belly, and limbs of the turtle need to be washed with cold water, then soaked in boiling hot water for the whole body to ensure thorough cleaning.

2. After washing, the turtle needs to be disassembled and the internal organs cleaned. The center of the internal organs and the liver are edible. After washing clean, store them for later use. During the disassembly process, pay attention to separating the shell, limbs, and tail of the turtle properly, and then you can start to stew the soup.

3. Place the cleaned turtle and scallions, ginger, and other ingredients such as black fungus in a steamer, and turn the fire on high. After boiling, turn down the heat and simmer for about 2 hours until the turtle soup is ready.
