Recipe
Ingredients
- Pork intestines
- Duck blood(Yaxue)
- Doubanjiang
- Suan Cai(Pickled mustard greens)
- Sichuan peppercorns
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Prep] Thoroughly wash pork intestines with salt and vinegar, parboil until soft. Cut Duck Blood (coagulated pudding-like blood, pig's blood works too) into bite-sized pieces and blanch.
- Heat generous oil in a wok, slowly fry Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies on low to transfer numbing heat (remove spices).
- Sauté Pixian doubanjiang, garlic, ginger, and 'Suan Cai (fermented mustard greens)'—which adds an accent—in that oil until fragrant.
- Add pork bone broth (or water), soy sauce, wine, and sugar, boil, toss in intestines and duck blood, and simmer on medium until flavors penetrate.
- Once the Suan Cai acidity and doubanjiang heat soak into the offal, thicken heavily with potato starch.
- Finally, add scallions (or garlic scapes) and sesame oil, serving it vigorously boiling on a tabletop stove (alcohol lamp).

Trivia
[For Spicy Food Lovers] Auspiciously named: 'Wu Geng' (pre-dawn/keeping fire going), 'Chang' (pork intestine), 'Wang' (blood/prosperity). Duck blood smoothness, offal elasticity, and Sichuan numbing push rice consumption speed past its limit. A demonic dish.
