How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh, non-smelly pig intestines
- You should choose intestines that have small, plump tubes and a fresh pinkish-white color. The best intestines are from pigs that have just been slaughtered.
- When buying, you should squeeze a piece of the intestine to check the liquid inside; if the liquid inside is milky white and has no fishy smell, then it’s good intestines; otherwise, you shouldn’t buy it!
- Avoid buying intestines that have a bluish-white color, large tubes, and liquid inside that is off-white and gradually turning yellow.
How to choose fresh pig stomach
- You should choose stomachs that are bright pink, with no bruises, inflammation, or swelling. Avoid buying frozen stomachs as they will lose their crispness.
- You should press the stomach with your hand; if it is elastic and has a liquid on the outside that is not sticky, then it can be chosen.
- Observe the stomach for thickness; if the inner lining of the stomach is intact, with no bumps or hard grains, then it can be purchased.
How to choose fresh pig liver
- You should choose liver that is dark reddish-purple or slightly purple, with a smooth surface, soft and fine to the touch, and when pressed, it leaves a fingerprint.
- Buy liver that is a single color, with no yellow spots or unusual tiny dots; this is fresh liver that is not toxic.
- You should not choose livers that are usually colored from bright red to yellow or silver turning white, with a surface covered with white spots, as this indicates diseased pigs.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose medium-sized roots, not too large, with a slender shape, and feel firm when held.
- Fresh carrots have a bright, deep orange color, smooth skin, without bumps, and the green stems are still firmly attached to the body, not separated.
- Avoid choosing roots with wilted or bruised stems, that feel slimy to the touch, have soft and mushy flesh, and show many dark spots on the surface, as these are old carrots that affect health.
- Generally, larger roots are not tastier than smaller ones because they are older carrots with more fibers and very few nutrients.
How to choose fresh cucumbers
- Choose cucumbers that are bright green, evenly colored, with smooth skin, without bumps, and no dark spots or yellowing.
- Good cucumbers are usually straight, not or slightly bent, long, firm, and feel heavy when lifted.
- Avoid buying short, round, overly bent cucumbers, those with yellow spots, overly large sizes, and that feel light and hollow when lifted.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes that are red, round, juicy, with thin, shiny skin.
- Select tomatoes with green stems firmly attached to the fruit, as these are freshly harvested and will be delicious.
- Avoid buying tomatoes that are unevenly colored, that feel soft and mushy to the touch, without a certain elasticity.

How to prepare Pork Intestine Salad
-
Prepare the small intestine, stomach, and liver
Put the stomach and small intestine into a basin, add vinegar and rub all sides of the stomach and pork intestine.
After massaging, rinse the intestines thoroughly by pouring water into the inner tube, using your hand to stroke the tube so that the impurities inside are pushed out.
Repeat this process 2 – 3 times to clean the intestines and effectively eliminate odors.
How to clean pork intestines- For pork intestines, you can rub them with salt and lemon (or vinegar). Then boil a pot of water, add about 4 tablespoons of fish sauce, and boil the intestines for 3 minutes, then remove them and rinse with water.
- Another method is to cut the intestines into small segments about 2 finger lengths (for the stomach, cut in half), turn the small intestine inside out, remove any fat membranes and impurities inside, then use flour along with a little salt to rub for about 5 – 10 minutes and rinse with water.
- For liver or pork kidney, you can soak them in fresh milk for about 10 minutes, then remove and rinse thoroughly to get rid of the odor and toxins that may be released with the milk.

Use a knife to scrape off the fat layer and the slimy membrane inside the stomach, then rinse the stomach thoroughly.
Cut the pork liver in half, soak it in 150ml of milk for about 10 minutes to remove all toxins and odors. Then rinse with clean water.

Prepare other ingredients
Wash the bean sprouts. Shred the carrot. Then briefly blanch the carrot and bean sprouts.
Wash the cucumber, then cut it into thin slices.
Cut the tomato and onion into wedges.
Pick the cilantro, remove the roots, wash it, and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Cut the roots off the green onions, wash them, and leave them whole.

Boil and chop the pig’s intestines
After cleaning and draining, put the pig’s intestines into a pot to boil.
Pour enough water to cover the intestines, stomach, and liver. To boil the intestines without odor, add 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 5 tablespoons of white wine, and 2 green onions.
Boil for about 30 minutes until the intestines are cooked, then remove all the intestines, stomach, and liver and soak them in cold water to maintain their crispy white texture. After that, take them out, drain, and chop small.
