Description
The offal stir-fry that tests a chef's skill the most in Chinese Halal restaurants. Pre-boiled 'sheep stomach (tripe)' is julienned and tossed with scallions and bell peppers over absolute maximum wok heat for a mere dozen seconds. The 'Bao' (Explode) technique ensures the tripe becomes supremely crispy instead of rubbery.

Trivia
[Trivia] A dish designed to experience the essence of Chinese cooking: 'Bao' (evaporating moisture in an instant over absolute maximum heat). Since overcooking even slightly turns it into 'unchewable rubber', if a restaurant cooks this well, it proves everything on their menu is delicious.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Eat while hot. The intense 'crisp, snapping' texture of the sheep tripe and scallions resonates simultaneously. The vaporized aroma of the black vinegar completely eradicates any offal funk, making it the ultimate bar snack where umami overflows the more you chew.
