Bald sea cucumbers (aka "Tu Sen " or "Tou Sam" or "Tuk Sam" )are named for their smooth, thornless surface. They have a slightly round shape, thin skin, medium-sized, and a deep gray color with a natural shine and aroma.
The flesh becomes soft and smooth after cooking. Bald sea cucumbers can be prepared in various ways, including braising, boiling, and cooking soups. They are relatively more affordable compared to spiky sea cucumbers, making it a popular choice among diners.
