  Cleaning and Marinating the Pork Intestines

  To clean the pork intestines, use a knife to cut the intestines into pieces about 2 finger lengths long.

  Then place the intestines in a bowl, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon along with 2 tablespoons of salt and the zest of the squeezed lemon, and massage for about 5 minutes to eliminate the odor.

  After massaging, wash the intestines again by pouring water into the inner tube, using your hands to scrub the tube to push out the dirt inside.

  Repeat this process 2-3 times to thoroughly clean the intestines and effectively remove any odor.
