Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the jellyfish head
Remove the skin membrane from the jellyfish head, rinse well, and blanch in boiling water for 10 minutes until softened. Remove and rinse again in clean water.
Prepare the ham
Cut the ham into horse-tooth-shaped pieces, add Shaoxing wine, and steam until fork-tender.
Prepare the pork lung
Flush the pork lung with clean water, remove the trachea and tendons inside while keeping the lung intact, blanch in boiling water and rinse. Place it in a clay pot, add scallion, ginger, Shaoxing wine, and chicken broth, and simmer over low heat for 3 to 4 hours until tender.
Combine and finish the dish
Briefly blanch the jellyfish head in boiling water, then pass it once through boiling chicken broth. Remove and place it together with the ham into the clay pot, bring to a boil, add fine salt and MSG, and let it rest briefly before serving.
