How to Boil Crispy and Delicious Pork Stomach
Step 1: Prepare the stomach
Rinse the stomach under running water to remove any external dirt. Next, turn the stomach inside out and use a knife to scrape away the membrane and mucus inside.
Rub the stomach with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 3-5 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Repeat this step once more to ensure all odors are removed.
Soak the stomach in a mixture of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 10 minutes, then rinse again.
Step 2: Boiling the stomach
Bring a pot of water to a boil, adding the crushed ginger and white wine (if using) to neutralize any odors.
Place the stomach in the pot and parboil for about 2-3 minutes. Remove it from the water and rinse with cold water to get rid of any scum.
In a new pot of boiling water, cook the stomach over medium heat for 25-30 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to ensure the stomach is white and crispy.
Check if the stomach is cooked by piercing it with a pair of chopsticks. If the chopsticks go through easily, the stomach is ready.
Step 3: Cooling and storage
Remove the stomach from the pot and immediately plunge it into a bowl of ice-cold water with a splash of lemon juice to maintain its crispness and whiteness.
Soak in the ice water for 5-10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Cut the stomach into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
