돼지되지
It smelled so bad that even after scrubbing it twice with coarse salt and rinsing it with water, it still smelled, and it was tough, perhaps because it wasn't baked enough. I think I need to scrub it thoroughly with flour and bake it until crispy.

It's a pretty big bag, perfect for making braised pork intestines
粽子
Not bad. Turn it over and quickly remove any debris and lymph nodes (very few). Add salt and flour and rub it in. After rinsing, soak it in vinegar and pepper for about 10 minutes. How about that? Clean, right? The smell isn't too strong either.

I bought the pig stomach to make pig stomach soup. After opening it, I noticed there was still quite a bit of fat, so I used scissors to trim it as much as possible. After blanching it, I cut it into strips, added lotus seeds, and pressure-cooked it for 15 minutes. Then I added bamboo fungus. The final soup was delicious, and some of the tripe strips were also very tasty dipped in soy sauce. Not bad at all!
