There are a lot of sundries on the belly of Melaleuca, so it must be washed clean. Before washing, shake off the impurities on the hairy belly, spread it on the chopping board, stretch the belly leaves layer by layer, and then wash them repeatedly with cold water until they have no grassy smell. Cut off the "belly edge" of the belly door circle and tear off the oil skin of the bottom plate. Wash them continuously with a large leaf and a small leaf for/kloc-0.5 minutes, then rinse them twice. Boil water in the pot, put it into the washed hairy belly and blanch it with clear water, and then take it out and rinse it with clear water.
Melaleuca tripe, commonly known as beef louver, is the valvular stomach of cattle. The surface of the valvular stomach presents a large number of thin petals with small protrusions, and the taste is crisp. It is generally used as a dish or a hot pot. The beef omasum is divided into upper and lower parts. If you buy raw beef omasum in the market, choose the beef omasum in the lower part, which is crispy and tender, and it is the best to rinse hot pot.
Matters needing attention in purchasing hairy belly
1, pay attention to when buying beef omasum, especially white beef omasum will turn white after being soaked in hydrogen peroxide and formaldehyde for three or four days. When making water-borne products, some unscrupulous traders first soak them in industrial caustic soda to increase their volume and weight, and then add formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide in proportion to stabilize their volume and weight and keep their surfaces fresh and bright. The hairy belly brewed with industrial caustic soda is full and very watery. The use of formaldehyde can make the hairy belly more crisp and taste good. Long-term consumption of hairy tripe soaked in these toxic substances will lead to diseases such as gastric ulcer, which can cause cancer in severe cases.
2, if the hairy belly is very white, more than it should be white, and the volume is large, you should avoid buying. The hairy belly soaked with formaldehyde will lose its original characteristics. It is easy to break when the hand is pinched, and it will shrink rapidly after heating, so it should be avoided.
