Why can’t I get rid of the problem after buying tripe and eating hot pot at home?

When I buy the tripe and eat hotpot at home, I can’t bite it. That’s because the tripe is heated unevenly when it’s hot, and the tripe is handled in the wrong way.

The boiled tripe must be spread out into a single layer. If you randomly mash it into a ball and stuff it into the pot when it is hot, the hairy tripe will be heated unevenly and the texture will not be tight, which of course will not taste good. You can refer to the following methods of treating hairy tripe, as follows:

1. Heat the pot, put an appropriate amount of boiling water in the pot, then start the fire and bring the water to a boil. As shown below.

2. Then put the raw tripe into the pot. It is recommended that you put it in one piece at a time so that it can be heated evenly. As shown below.

3. Use chopsticks to hold it hot. As the saying goes, hairy belly expands with heat and shrinks with cold, but hairy belly expands and shrinks with cold. Generally, it will shrink to two-thirds or even half of the size of raw hairy belly. If you just throw it into the pot and boil it like other foods, you will not be able to find it, it will be difficult to control the time, and it will definitely not taste good when you pick it up. As shown below.

4. Blanch for 10-15 seconds and then take them out one by one. Do not blanche for too long, as it will age, as shown in the picture below.

5. Then while it is hot, use a knife to slowly scrape off the black substance on the surface, being careful not to hurt your hands, as shown in the picture below.

6. Then we can cut it into small pieces with a knife and put it on a plate for later use. The preparations are done. As shown below.

7. The plated tripe is as shown in the picture below.
