Pork lungs are the most delicious soup, but people nowadays always think that the lungs are dirty and avoid eating them. Just wash and rub the lungs repeatedly before eating them, put the lung tube on the faucet, and let the water fill it. Enter the lungs and let them expand. After the large and small blood vessels are filled with water, pour out the water. Repeat this for many times until the lung lobes turn white, then put it in a pot and boil it to extract the residue in the lung tube, then wash it again until it is white and there is no problem. Then change the water and boil it until it becomes crispy. Another thing is to choose fresh and healthy pig lungs to buy.
