Cleaning pig intestines
Cleaning old intestines
– Put the purchased pig intestines in a large basin, add water and wash them thoroughly. Remove excess water from the intestines and turn the inside facing out.
– Place the old intestines back in the basin and add an appropriate amount of cornmeal, then scrub vigorously, paying special attention to evenly scrubbing the cornmeal onto each fold of the old intestines.
When the cornmeal becomes wet and sticky, replace it with new cornmeal until the fat in the old intestine wall is completely absorbed, and the inside becomes white, bright, and clean.
This process requires patience, but the pig intestines will be cleaner and odorless. Therefore, to clean pig intestines, simply use cornmeal without rubbing salt or pouring vinegar on them.
– When all impurities on the surface of the old intestines have been removed, turn the old intestines back. Add an appropriate amount of water to a pot, then add some scallions, ginger, and cooking wine, and bring to a boil over high heat, then add the old intestines and continue boiling for about 10 – 15 minutes.
When the old intestines are cooked, remove them and let them cool naturally. At this point, the pig intestines have been processed, they are clean, hygienic, and no longer have a strong odor.
In addition, you can refer to how to clean young pig intestines as follows:
Using lime and salt
Similar to the method above, when buying young intestines, you need to turn them inside out and clean the viscous substances inside.
Then, use lime to scrub vigorously to remove the odor and rinse with salt water to eliminate all bacteria. Then, soak the clean intestines in boiling water to make them firm and crispy, and use your hand to gently squeeze them again to make them clean.
Using flour and lime
In addition to the two methods mentioned above, we can use flour and lime to clean and eliminate the odor of young intestines.
Just turn the pig intestines inside out and clean the viscous substances inside. Then, add flour and a little salt to it, knead it well, and rinse with water to eliminate the odor.
After cleaning the intestines, use lime to scrub vigorously on them and rinse with clean water. The result will be clean and odorless young pig intestines.
