Instructions
Prepare the intestines
Turn the pig small intestines inside out and wash them thoroughly. Soak in warm water to blanch, then rinse with clean water and soak again in warm water. Fold one intestine into two layers and tuck it inside another intestine to form "triple-stuffed intestines."
Boil and simmer
Place the intestines in a pot of water with the scallion knot and ginger slices, and boil for 1 hour 30 minutes. Replace with fresh water, add 35 g soy sauce, red rice, and 30 g Shaoxing wine, then simmer for another 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove and cut into segments about 3 cm long.
Braise and finish
Heat a wok over high heat with 45 g cooked pork lard and fry the minced scallion until fragrant. Add the cooked pork liver, intestines, bamboo shoot slices, 20 g Shaoxing wine, 35 g soy sauce, sugar, and 100 g of the original broth. Braise for 10 minutes, thicken with cornstarch slurry, drizzle with 15 g cooked pork lard, and serve.
