Ok, today post is about Pig stomach soup, this soup is a Hokkien's CNY delight. My mom will cook this soup in every CNY.

I am glad that my two elder children also started to appreciate this soup..but i cook it slight peppery..

My mom cleaned and made ready for me this pig maw/stomach.

My mom's easy method :-

1. Trim off any fat on the stomach lining.

2. Make a cut and invert the stomach, use a spoon or a butter knife to scrape as much slimy impurities as possible. Wash it thoroughly and rinsed.

3. Blanch the pig maw in hot water for few minutes. Remove and drained.

4. Cut into moderate size (not too small).

5. Bring water to boil and add some whole white pepper and salt, add in pig maw pieces, boil for 10mins, and reduce to low heat and simmer until pig maw become tender but not too soft.

6. Discard the water, and it is ready to cook or keep inside the freezer if not use it immediately.



a must have ingredient- whole white peppercorns..I use the good peppers from Sarawak given by my friend who staying in Kuching..

Also you need a good pot of chicken stock.
