Tips for Cleaning Pig Lungs

Tips for Cleaning Pig Lungs
Pig lungs can be paired with many ingredients, making it not only delicious but also beneficial for lung health and phlegm reduction. For instance, stewed pig lungs with southern and northern almonds, dried greens with pig lungs, and pig lungs with stone olives/olives are all suitable soup options for any season. However, cleaning pig lungs can be quite a hassle, especially to achieve a white appearance. Typically, one should choose intact pig lungs and repeatedly rinse them with water for cleaning. Nonetheless, pig lungs from local markets often have damages, making rinsing difficult. Furthermore, the rinsing process requires a significant amount of water, making the pig lungs heavy, and squeezing out the water often creates a mess. My method involves preliminary rinsing followed by soaking in salt water to draw out the blood.

Materials

Salt Half a pack
Clean water A large quantity

How To Make

  1. First, use the rinsing method to fill the pig lungs with water and squeeze to expel some of the blood. Repeat this two to three times, then cut the pig lungs into pieces.

  2. In a pot, add some clean water and the pig lungs. Then add a generous amount of salt to create a high concentration brine. Let it soak for about 10 to 20 minutes. Discard the blood water, rinse the pig lungs to remove excess salt, and soak them in clean water for another 10 to 20 minutes. Repeat this high concentration saltwater and clean water soaking two to three times.

  3. Soak the pig lungs until you're satisfied with the cleanliness. Rinse thoroughly with clean water two more times, then do a final soak in a large quantity of clean water to remove any remaining salt. Transfer the pig lungs to a colander to drain excess water.
