Method

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

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 50 min

    Replace step 3: high-pressure boiling for 18 minutes, then release the pressure naturally; the tongue will be tender while still retaining its shape.
