This dish was pioneered by the owner of Jiuhualin Restaurant in Jinan, Shandong in the early years of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The large intestine cooked in this building is cooked hard and the ingredients are complete. It is cooked and blanched first, then fried, and then burned again. Take out the spoon and put into the pot and repeat it many times until it is cooked.
Once, Du Mou, the owner of "Jiuhualou", invited a treat. There was a "braised intestines" at the banquet. After tasting it, the guests praised it one after another. Some said it was fragrant, some said it was sweet, some said it was sour, some said it was spicy, and some said it was salty. People in the audience commented on this dish like the Taoist "Nine Refined Golden Pills". In order to thank the owner for his kindness, they praised the chef's superb skills and the complete ingredients, complex processes, and changeable tastes. However, in order to please the store owner's obsession with "nine", the gift was named "Nine Transforming Large Intestine". Since then, the name of "Nine Turning Large Intestine" has become more and more famous and has been passed down to this day.
This dish is ruddy in color, soft and tender in the large intestine, fat but not greasy. It combines five flavors of sour, sweet, fragrant, spicy and salty. It is a traditional flavor dish in Shandong. It is one of the famous dishes in the Shandong cuisine department.
The traditional nine-turn large intestine is stacked layer upon layer, and when making this dish, you must blanch, cook twice, fry three, and roast four.
