The pig tongue was put into boiling water for the first time to blanch it. Firstly, it was to remove blood and secondly, it was to facilitate the removal of white film. After scraping the white film, blanching it again can be more perfect for cleaning. The pig tongue is hot after coloring, so it is best to add boiling water to boil. If it is cold water, the skin of the pig tongue will expand and shrink due to the heat, and the skin will not be tender after cooking. After boiling, cool slightly before removing and slicing to avoid getting hot.
