After purchasing the pig tongue, clean it thoroughly. To eliminate the odor, scrape it clean and rub it with a little lemon juice for about 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water and let it drain.
Peel the carrot, wash it clean, then shred it into short strips about half the length of your finger or dice it.
For the straw mushrooms, scrape off the dirty part of the stems and soak them in diluted saline solution for about 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Next, use a knife to cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, then place them in a basket to drain.
Clean the green onions and coriander by removing the roots and wilted leaves, scrape the ginger clean, then wash and let it drain. Chop the green onions and coriander separately, and crush the ginger.
