Cleaning the intestines
To clean the intestines, after buying them, place the intestines in a bowl of warm water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and cut 2 lemons in half, then add them to the bowl, soak for 5 minutes and scrub thoroughly both inside and outside.
Rinse the intestines several times until clean. Then, pour boiling water over the intestines to firm them up, then rinse several times to drain.
Tips for cleaning intestines safely and thoroughly:- Method 1: When you buy intestines, turn them inside out or use scissors to cut along the length of the intestines to easily wash away the slime and dirt inside, then mix the intestines with a bit of salt, fish sauce, and a little lemon juice, massage for a while, then use a knife to scrape clean and rinse under strong running water to remove the slime.
- Method 2: To help eliminate odor and give the intestines a pleasant scent, you can wash the intestines with Mai Que Lo liquor, which is very effective.
- Method 3: To completely remove the unpleasant smell from the intestines, when blanching the intestines, add a few slices of ginger!

Marinate the meat
You marinate the meat with 5g five-spice powder, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of seasoning, 1 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of shrimp paste color (or annatto color), and minced garlic and shallots. Then you mix well and marinate for 30 minutes for the meat to absorb the spices evenly.

Cooking the wild boar
Add the marinated wild boar to the pot and then add 1 cup of water. After that, set it to cooking mode and cook for 15 minutes.

Sauté the wild boar for about 5 minutes over medium heat until the liquid thickens, season to taste, and then turn off the heat.
