The belly sold on the street is generally a water-burst lamb tripe. The lamb belly is divided into seven parts: gourd, food letter, belly plate, belly collar, sandan, mushroom, mushroom head, etc. In addition to the freshness of the ingredients, the effort of bursting the belly is all on the word "burst". The water should be large, boil, and the fire should be extremely strong, boil it for a while, and then quickly scoop it up with a colander. The blanching time of each part is different, such as 5 seconds for loose sheets, 7 seconds for belly plates, and 8 seconds for belly gourds, belly collars, and belly mushrooms...... The time is short, the belly is raw, the time is short, the belly is old, and the heat is right, it is crispy, tender and chewy, and the more you chew, the more flavorful. But for southerners, it may feel too fishy.
The knife worker determines the tooth mouth, the cleaning determines the peculiar smell, the heat determines the taste, and the sesame sauce determines the taste. Eating belly also needs to be dipped in seasoning, which is generally made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, sesame oil, bean curd, shrimp oil, etc., and chopped green onions, coriander, garlic juice and chili oil. When eating belly, it is generally only one piece in one bite, and the bottom of the bowl should be wiped with coriander and green onions dipped in the seasoning.
Other methods of belly popping are oil fried and soup fried, and tripe can also be used as a raw material, but there are only belly kernels, shutters, shuffle tips, and thick heads.
