Dim sum style tripe - anyone got a winner

[garyfromterrace]

Just made this:

http://chinese.food.com/recipe/ginge...m-style-358055

It didn't taste nearly as good as the tripe I get when I hit the big smoke and go out for dim sum.

Anybody got any tried and true killer recipes for tripe the way you get it at your fave dim sum joint?

truly good tripe is mommy home cooking. chinese moms don't bother with recipes.

1. buy fresh tripe, pork hooves, beef tenderloin, etc.,(you need to have a variety of meat to taste good) and good soy sauce (not kikkoman) i wont bother with the various types here as that's advanced. just get decent ones. ask the chinese woman in the store.
2. wash raw tripe with water 3 times or more
3. wash raw tripe (pork large intestine also works here) with coca cola , twice. (the acid cleans everything right off. you won't ever drink coke again once you see the effect)
4. add chinese rice cooking wine (unsalted version) to cover tripe and green onions, raw ginger, garlic; steam for 1 hour
5. wash tripe again with fresh water
6. gather up fresh garlic, ginger, green onions, misc. meats, add rice wine, soy sauce, and some water. the color should look like coke. add a new can of coca cola (this will add taste and caramelize when cooking).
7. leave in room temp over night, even 36 hours. (most lazy moms skip this step or dont know about it)
8. boil to tenderness preference.
9. leave pot in room temp over night to soak in flavor. if electric stove, move the pot off the hot plate to a cool one.
10. slice and eat


steps after #5, the proportions and cooking time, takes practice.

tripe is gross. cheap ass part of the pig. i felt insulted being fed tripe.

[sidewall]

I accidentally ordered some tripe when I had the "festive stew" at a Mexican place. I can't believe people actually eat that stuff.

Waaaay too much effort to make something barely palatable. Fuck that.

I will try this keipow, and if it kills me, I keel you.
Questions:
Can I use only tripe (and not all the other meats you talked about)?
I just want to use beef tripe, that OK?
The coca cola blows my mind but I\ll try this just the same after you answer my questions.

To the rest of you lightweights - you haven't lived till you've had great dim sum tripe (#1 hang-over cure). Why don't you have another cheese burger?

Can't add a recipe but I second the reco for Coca Cola to wash out the tripe. I am sometimes amused by this whole snout-to-tail eating movement that's around. Been eating innards and organ meats including tripe since I was a kid. Basically, the cheap parts of the animal. If you grow up in an agricultural society, every part of the animal was eaten. Nothing was wasted.

You into chicken feet too? Rooster combs? Fish heads? Good stuff.

Well, I likes my chicken and duck feet sure nuff. Also have a soft spot for blood sausage, can't say that I go for rooster combs (haven't tried though), and fish heads are not my fave.

I think that the vast majority of people in our "modern world" (read North America) have lost the eat everything/waste not, want not philosophy that most civilized cultures have. Too bad.

I bet you are the dude that would eat insects too. Dog? How are pigs feet? I would never try feet or dog.

That is a point where many people draw the line. Being vegetarian is for just this sort of thing too.

when the food gets that desperate, you eat things very low on the food chain.

I guess when I am going to eat meat, it will be a fish like animal, or bird, or large vegetarian grazing animal. With those options, you get some high quality protein.

Organs like the heart in cow are some of the best meat ever.

The wrong part of the Stomach is gross on most animals. what do you do with it? crisp it up? no, I would feed it to the dogs. who would buy tripe? Unless you want some green tripe.

So, um are you like calling me names or something DUDE?

Dog? How are pigs feet?

I don't know little fella, did I mention dog or pig's feet? I just so happen not to have eaten dog or pigs feet, but if I was really fucking hungry I would eat them.

I would never try feet or dog.

Oh, really. Because I really don't care what you would never try.

I have no idea what you are talking about or what your point is.

I guess so, however as above I really don't care.

Oh, that's interesting because the intestine is an organ but you think eating it is bad.

Wow, you know lots of stuff.

who would buy tripe? Unless you want some green tripe.

I would. And not green tripe. That, I would feed to the dog.

Thanks for your comments, or not.

At the risk of making others sick...

I bet you are the dude that would eat insects too.

Yes. Crickets fried with garlic and some peppers. Actually, it was very tasty. While walking through a market in Bangkok, I had what looked like a grasshopper on a stick. Did it for the adventure but I don't think I'd do it again.

Dog?

Once. By mistake. It was in a stew. Thought it was beef until I saw the bones. Warms you up. Never again. It's popular in certain parts of Korea and the Philippines.

How are pigs feet?

Very good actually. German and Eastern European cooking standard. Best prep for it is deep fried (or baked) until the skin is crisp then dipped in soy sauce, vinegar and garlic. Just had some for dinner the other day.

Tripe is good in stews or soups. Spanish callos or Mexican menudo. There's a variation I've tried where the intestines are cleaned, cut up and deep fried like pork rinds. Dip in a sauce of vinegar and garlic. It's good but very bad for you.

Fish heads? We used to get them for free from the supermarket because it was going into the trash. Now, they sell them for a buck a head. I guess America's ethnicity is slowly changing. Go to a Malaysian or Singaporean restaurant and try the fish head curry. Excellent.

One man's meat is another man's poison. I was once told that the Chinese find cheese disgusting and that the smell of it on a person's breath was offensive. Perhaps, there's a Chinese online forum where users are discussing why anyone would want to eat spoiled milk.

Note to self - eat Limburger when interviewing Chinese VP Xi net time.
