trepang (trih-PANG) - n., any of several large sea cucumbers (mainly genera Actinopyga and Holothuria) of the southwestern Pacific.


Also called bĂȘche-de-mer or balate. When eaten in China and Japan, typically dried or smoked and then used in soups -- elsewhere in Asia, I cannot vouch for how they are cooked. The word reflects their common range: its from Malay teripang, of unknown origin.
