Soak sea cucumber in water overnight to rehydrate.

Rinse and clean the sea cucumber thoroughly under running water.

In a pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add ginger and garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and ready-made pork bone soup, stirring to combine.

Add sugar (caramel), ginger wine, and oyster sauce, then bring to a simmer.

Carefully add the sea cucumbers, ensuring they are submerged.

Cover the pot and braise on low heat until tender.

Remove the lid, increase heat to medium, and reduce the sauce for 10-15 minutes.

Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir into the sauce to thicken.

Add shallots and fried ginger, stirring to combine.

Season with black pepper to taste.

Serve hot as a main dish.
