Cleaning and Blanching the Pork Intestines
You cut the small intestines and the pig’s stomach into shorter pieces and put them into a basin, squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon and add 1 tablespoon of salt, then proceed to massage them evenly for about 5 minutes.
After massaging, you rinse the intestines and stomach with water. Pour water inside the intestines and use your hands to stroke the intestinal tube to remove any dirt inside. Repeat 2 – 3 times to ensure the intestines are clean.
Next, you place a pot on the stove, turn on medium heat, add 1.5 liters of water, 3 green onion stalks, and 1 sliced ginger piece to boil. When the water boils, you add the small intestines and stomach to blanch for 3 minutes, then remove and soak in a basin of ice water with the juice of 1 lemon for about 10 minutes, then take them out to drain.
Tip:- After using lemon and salt, you can also use vinegar to clean the intestines. Massage the intestines with lemon and salt for 5 minutes, then put them into boiling water. Add 1/3 cup of vinegar to the pot, let it sit for 2 – 3 minutes, then rinse clean.
- Additionally, you can use various other ingredients to clean the intestines such as flour, fish sauce, etc.
