Instructions

1. Step 1

Rinse the pig tongue and dried pig, then blanch them in a pot.

2. Step 2

Remove and rinse with cold water, use a small knife to scrape off the membrane on the pig tongue, and rub the pig tongue with salt. Rinse the pig liver.

3. Step 3

Use a fork to poke some small holes in the pig tongue and pig liver.

4. Step 4

Put the pig tongue and pig liver back in the pot with water, add ginger and scallions, and cook over medium heat for 40 minutes after boiling.

5. Step 5

Use another pot to boil the braising liquid with added water (as my family prefers light taste, if you prefer salty, you don’t need to add water).

6. Step 6

Soak the cooked pig tongue and pig liver in the braising liquid, let it cool, then refrigerate and slice before serving the next day.
