Method
- 1 Blanch the pig's tongue for 5 minutes, then scrape off the rough white membrane on the surface.
- 2 If the membrane isn't completely scraped off, the tongue will be tough, rough, and smelly; this step cannot be skipped.
- 3 Boil the tongue for 50 minutes with ginger, then let it cool in the broth and slice it thinly.
- 4 Marinate sliced tongue with curry powder and chopped lemongrass for 20 minutes.
- 5 Sauté over high heat for 5 minutes, then pour in the coconut milk and simmer for 8 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- 6 Sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts, shredded coriander, and chili peppers, then serve with bread.
