How to clean pork liver:
First, use a knife to cut off the fatty part that sticks around the liver, then pour water into the liver. Continue to turn the inside face (the face with a lot of mucus, dirt) of the liver out.
Put the liver into a large basin, then scoop two spoons of cornstarch into it. Cornstarch has the advantage of not sticking like wheat flour but still has the function of absorbing dirt similar to wheat flour.
In addition, cornstarch is a coarse grain, coarser than wheat flour, so it can remove mucus and dirt on the surface of the liver. Use your hands to knead the liver evenly so that the cornstarch sticks evenly, then it will absorb the dirt on this surface of the liver and make them fall off easily.
The liver that has been rubbed with cornstarch is very clean, there is no need to knead for a long time and rub several times, saving time and effort.
After cleaning one surface with mucus on the liver, turn the liver over and clean the remaining fat, hold the liver with both hands, knead the cornstarch up and down, and the excess fat will easily fall off.
Clean the mucus and fat, the bad smell of the liver will be gone, so the most important thing to do pork liver at home is to be absolutely clean, something that restaurants cannot do.
After removing the fat and mucus, rinse the liver several times with clean water, the liver will be white and clean. At this step, you can quickly squeeze the liver with a little lemon juice, a bit of salt to make it fragrant and then rinse it again (as you like).
