How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose clean and quality pork intestines
- Good pork intestines will have a thick surface and a pinkish-white color. Additionally, the smaller the intestine, the fresher it is, making it tastier and odorless.
- Using your hand to squeeze the pork intestines and see a milky white liquid oozing out, feeling the elasticity indicates that these are fresh, recently slaughtered intestines.
- Do not buy pork intestines with large intestines, slimy, dull in color, and having an odor, as these are old or have been stored for a long time.
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapples
- When buying pineapples, choose those that have a yellow color mixed with green, as this indicates they are just ripe, not too green or too ripe.
- Round, short pineapples will have more flesh than elongated ones.
- Choose pineapples with large eyes and spaced-out eyes, as their skin will be thinner and peeling will result in less flesh loss.
- Additionally, a just-ripe pineapple will have a faint fragrant smell and yield slightly when pressed.
- Avoid pineapples that are deep yellow, have a strong odor, or are too soft when pressed, as these are overripe and may be spoiled inside. Moreover, do not buy pineapples that are too green with eyes that haven’t opened, as these are unripe and very sour.

Prepare the Ingredients
After buying the pig intestines, massage them with salt for about 3 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Next, put 1 tablespoon of salt and 3 slices of ginger into a pot of water, bring it to a boil, and then blanch the pig intestines for about 3 minutes.
Take the blanched pig intestines and immediately place them into a bowl of cold water, soak for about 10 minutes, then take them out and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the onion, wash it twice with water for cleanliness, and then cut it into wedges. Trim the roots and wilted parts of the green onions, wash them clean, and cut them into pieces about the length of a finger.
Remove the skin and eyes from the pineapple, rinse briefly with water, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Peel the shallots, wash them clean, and chop finely.
Tips for Cleaning Pig Intestines Well and Removing Odors- Method 1: Cut the pig intestines into short segments, turn them inside out, and then massage with flour for about 10 minutes, rinse with clean water, and continue to massage with lemon juice (or vinegar) once more, then rinse clean to use.
- Method 2: Place the intestines in a bowl with 1 cup of a mixture of lemon juice and salt, massage for about 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Next, fill the intestines with water, use your hands to squeeze strongly, and repeat several times to completely remove dirt.
- Method 3: After massaging the intestines with lemon and salt, add them to a pot of boiling water mixed with a little vinegar, blanch for about 2 – 3 minutes, and then take them out to rinse clean.
- Method 4: Another method is to use boiling fish sauce, then add the intestines that have been massaged with lemon and salt, stir for about 3 minutes, and rinse clean with water.

Stir-fry pig intestines with pineapple
Place a pan on the stove, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat, then add sliced shallots and sauté until fragrant. Next, add onions and pineapple, stir for about 2 minutes, then add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Stir a few times for the salt to dissolve, then turn the heat up high, add the pig intestines, and stir-fry for another 2 – 3 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, stirring to mix the seasonings.
Finally, add green onions, stir well, adjust seasoning to taste, and turn off the stove.
