How to Make Steamed Pork Intestines in Rice Flour

Steamed pork intestines in rice flour, a beloved Chinese comfort dish, combines rich, tender intestines with aromatic, savory rice flour. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 500g fresh pork intestines, 200g rice flour, 2 tbsp fermented bean curd, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 ginger slice, 2 garlic cloves, 1 scallion, 1 tsp five-spice powder, and cooking oil.

Steps:

1. Clean the intestines: Rinse intestines under cold water, rub with salt and vinegar to remove odor, then cut into 5cm pieces. Boil in water with ginger and scallion for 3 minutes; drain and dry.

2. Marinate: Mix intestines with fermented bean curd, soy sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, and minced garlic. Let sit for 20 minutes.

3. Prepare rice flour: Toast rice flour in a pan over low heat until fragrant. Cool, then mix with 1 tbsp oil to prevent clumping.

4. Combine: Toss marinated intestines with rice flour, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

5. Steam: Arrange intestines in a heatproof dish. Steam over high heat for 40-50 minutes until tender. Garnish with chopped scallions.
