3. The 5-step method for cleaning pig intestines recognized by the entire Internet
Step 1: Preliminary Rinse
Rinse the pig's large intestine under running water for 2-3 minutes to remove any obvious impurities on the surface. Be careful to keep the water temperature around 20°C to avoid protein coagulation caused by high temperatures.
Step 2: Knead flour
Use 50g flour + 20g salt for every 500g large intestine, and rub it inside and out for 5 minutes. A recent popular Douyin video shows that the combination of "flour + salt + a small amount of cooking oil" is more effective.
Step 3: Deeply remove the fishy smell
Soak the rubbed large intestine in water containing white vinegar (ratio 1:10) for 15-20 minutes. Zhihu’s highly praised answer suggests adding a little lemon juice to enhance the fishy removal effect.
Step 4: Turn over
Use scissors to cut the intestine lengthwise, turn over the inner wall and scrape off excess fat with the back of a knife. Actual testing by Xiaohongshu users shows that retaining about 30% of the fat layer can ensure the best taste.
Step 5: Final rinse
Rinse repeatedly with light salt water (5% concentration) 3-4 times until the water is clear and no turbidity. Weibo food bloggers recommend adding a small amount of cooking wine during the last rinse.
4. Cleaning points corresponding to different cooking methods
| cooking method | Cleaning points | time control |

| Braised large intestine | Keep part of the fat layer | Total cleaning time ≤ 40 minutes |
| Stir-fried large intestine | Remove mucus completely | It takes ≥8 minutes to knead the flour |
| Braised large intestine | Focus on treating the intestinal lining | Vinegar soak extended to 25 minutes |
| Grilled large intestine | Complete removal of fat | Requires secondary inspection |
5. Answers to recent hot questions
Q1: Why does the large intestine still smell strange after washing?
According to Baidu's data from the past 7 days, 83% of the odor residue is due to the neglect of the "turn and scrape" step. The glands lining the large intestine are the main source of odor and must be physically removed.
Q2: What should I do if my large intestine becomes hard after cleaning?
The latest video from the Douyin food account "Lao Fan Gu" pointed out that this is due to the salt concentration being too high or the kneading time being too long. It is recommended to control the amount of salt at 3%-5% and knead for no more than 10 minutes.
Q3: How to clean quick-frozen large intestine?
Weibo super chat discussion suggested: defrost naturally to a semi-soft state, rinse quickly with 40°C warm water, and then immediately enter the normal cleaning process. The whole process should not exceed 90 minutes.
6. Food safety reminder
Recently, the WeChat public account "Food Safety Guide" specially reminded: Pay attention to three points when purchasing large intestine: ① Check the quarantine mark ② There are no abnormal spots on the surface ③ The smell is slightly fishy but not rancid. After cleaning, it is recommended to blanch (boiling water for 1-2 minutes) to further ensure hygiene and safety.
Through the above systematic cleaning methods, combined with the latest practical feedback from the entire network, I believe you will be able to easily handle the "problem" of pig intestines. Remember to soak it in ice water for 10 minutes after cleaning to improve the crispy texture!
