Pig stomach is also known as pork bag or pork tripe. It is a very popular ingredient in China and considered to be a really large dish.
There are three ways of making pig stomach, one is stir-fry recipe introduced today, peppercorn pig stomach soup and steamed pig stomach with sticky rice.
This afternoon, we are hunting yummy ingredients in supermarket and we encountered with pig stomach, which make me memory the ginger stir-fried pig stomach back to the old days when we raise pigs by ourselves.
The best side ingredient for pig stomach is fresh ginger. Fresh ginger is not easy to find in this season, so I use relatively fresh root ginger. I grated half of the ginger and cut the left half into small shreds.
How to clean pig stomach
Relatively pig stomach is not so easy to wash. Firstly wash carefully in running water and then add 2 tablespoons cooking wine and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a large bowl. Grasp the pig stomach with hand carefully. And then wash again in running water. Repeat the process until there is no any sticky sauce on the surface.
Then place the tripe into a large bowl with enough water, add 2 slices of ginger, 1 scallion and 1 tablespoon cooking wine. Bring to a boiling and then simmer for 20 minutes or until you can insert a chop stick easily.Transfer out and cool down, then slice the stomach pieces.

I love your blog! Would you mind doing a recipe for spicy tripe (Fuqi Feipian)? All the recipes I've found have not been accurate... Much appreciated!

Sure, Qing. I will list it on my cooking menu. But the ingredients are really hard to find. I will need to check them in the market firstly.
