Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing the snakehead fish intestines, cut off the bile. Next, use a knife to scrape off the slimy layer still clinging to the intestines, then rinse with a mixture of lemon juice and warm water to eliminate the fishy smell, then place in a basket to drain.
Remove the roots and wilted branches of the green onions, wash them clean, and chop finely. Wash the chili peppers, slice 3 of them, and leave the rest whole.
Peel the shallots and garlic, rinse them with clean water, then chop them finely and place them on a plate.
How to eliminate the fishy smell of snakehead fish intestines
- You can massage salt onto the snakehead fish intestines for about 2 – 3 minutes, then rinse with clean water to remove the fishy smell.
- Another method to reduce the fishy smell is to apply ash from the stove onto the intestines and use your hands to wipe off the ash, then rinse thoroughly with water.
- Additionally, you can soak the fish intestines in diluted rice water with a bit of salt for 15 – 20 minutes to remove the fishy smell.

Marinate the snakehead fish intestines
Put the snakehead fish intestines into a bowl, and gradually add minced shallots, 1/2 of the minced green onions (preferably use more of the green parts), 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate.
Next, add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 3 sliced chilies, and the remaining whole chilies into the bowl. Then mix well and let the intestines soak in the spices for about 30 minutes.

Cook the snakehead fish intestines
Place a pot on the stove, wait for the pot to heat up, then add 4 tablespoons of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add minced garlic and sauté until golden.
Next, add all the marinated fish intestines from the bowl, and gently stir with chopsticks. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer the fish for 20 – 30 minutes to ensure the intestines are cooked evenly. After that, turn off the heat.
