From the selection of materials, cleaning, sausage, cooking, slicing several steps perfectly combined to produce a tender sausage. When finished, the sausage is topped with chopped green onion and seasoned soy sauce. Sets of intestines cut into one-finger wide slices, inside the circle at once in front of the face, snow-white tender sets of intestines immediately in the green onion and soy sauce under the reflection of three-dimensional, gently bite down, tender and smooth intestines through a refreshing mellow flavor, elasticity is full.

Practice: First of all, the selection of materials. To use the large intestine and small intestine of local pigs. Local farmers are more careful to feed meat pigs, pigs did not go through the shock and fatigue of long-distance transportation, intestines and good texture and more white.

Secondly, cleaning. Cleaning pig intestines is more laborious, in order to set intestines finished product is not greasy must remove the oil attached to the intestine. Large intestine fat oil as far as possible to remove clean, tear small intestine intestine oil, try to be lighter, so as not to tear the intestine, left a little some can be. After tearing the oil, soak it in hot water and add flour and vinegar and scrub it repeatedly to remove the mucus and fishy odor from the intestines. Then wash it again and again with water until it is very clean.

The average large intestine can be stuffed into seven or eight small intestines. Sets of intestines to the outside of the large intestine skin stuffed thin, you can vaguely see the inside of the small intestine, but not to the outside of the intestine skin to break. The only way to get it just right is to really "set" the bowel.

Fourth, cooking. Stuffed intestines into the pot, put the water, add the appropriate amount of wine, salt, ginger, first with a rapid fire boil, remove the foam, and then small fire stew.

Finally, slice. Cut the set of sausage into one-finger wide slices and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
