Today I learned that cleaning pig lungs is so simple, grandpa taught me to be special, clean and odorless
Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting an octogenarian grandfather who had always been the wise man with a strong country voice in my eyes, but today he taught me an unexpected skill: washing pig lungs. I was amazed at how simple and efficient it was to wash the pork lungs and smellless pork lungs, which were not only clean and odorless, but also more delicious. In this article, I will share this skill that my grandfather taught me.
Grandpa was a traditional farmer in my small village and had worked with farmland all his life. His daily life is filled with reverence for nature, a love of ingredients, and adherence to traditional skills. Whenever I walked into his courtyard, I could always see him busy, sometimes farming, sometimes raising chickens, sometimes catching frogfish. This time, I saw him disposing of a newly slaughtered pig's lung, which still had some blood and dirt on the skin. I couldn't help but be curious and walked over.
The old man looked at the pig lung in his hand and showed a gratifying smile, and then he said to me: "Little friend, look at this pork lung, what a delicious ingredient!" However, many people always find it tricky when dealing with pig lungs because it does require some skill to clean. Do you want to learn? "Of course I wanted to learn, so Grandpa started his demonstration.
First, the grandfather picks up a handful of fine salt, sprinkles it on the surface of the pig's lung, and gently rubs it with his hands. He explains that salt can help remove stains and odors from the surface of pig lungs, making lung tissue more tender. Next, he takes a handful of water and rinses the lungs, a step that is key to making sure they are fully flushed inside and out.
Later, the grandfather put the pork lungs in a large bowl, added the appropriate amount of cooking wine and ginger slices, and then soaked the pork lungs in clean water for a while. He told me that cooking wine and ginger are used to make pork lungs more delicious. While soaking, the grandfather began to prepare a pot with enough water to bring the water to a boil.
When the water boils, the grandfather takes out the soaked pork lungs and puts them in the pot. His movements are neat and untidy. When the pig lungs changed color and no more blood came out of the water, the grandfather fished out the pig lungs with a leaky net and put them in cold water to cool them quickly. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the pork lungs remain tender and not overcooked.
Now that the pig lungs have been processed, the next step is the final process. The old man took out a piece of white vinegar, poured it into a bowl, and then soaked the freshly processed pork lung in vinegar water for a while. He explained that this step can further remove odors, making pork lungs cleaner and tastier. After soaking in vinegar water, the color of the pig lungs also becomes brighter.
Finally, the grandfather took out the pork lung, rinsed it with clean water, and then cut it into thin slices and placed it on a plate. I finally saw a clean, delicious pork lung that no longer smelled the slightest. The old man smiled and said: "Little friend, this is the unique skill I passed on to you, you can also try to make it in the future and enjoy delicious pork lungs." ”
Through my grandfather's guidance, I learned an unexpected skill and became more aware of the importance of food handling. Although pork lung is an uncommon ingredient, it can become delicious when handled correctly. This experience also made me deeply appreciate the preciousness of traditional skills, which contain wisdom and experience, and are worth learning and inheriting.
Overall, I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to learn this skill from my grandfather. Although cleaning pork lungs sounds complicated, after the demonstration of grandfather, I found that it is not difficult, as long as it is mastered correctly
methods and steps can easily be made clean and odor-free. This experience also made me appreciate the wisdom of traditional rural life more, and at the same time cherish every communication with my grandfather. Today, I not only learned the skills of cleaning pork lungs, but also gained respect for traditional culture and the responsibility of inheritance.
