Although I have not traveled to many places, my biggest interest is to learn about some local customs and taste local specialties whenever I go to a place. This delicacy does not need beautiful shapes or high-end dishes. It can be an alleyway, a roadside stall, or a shoulder-carrying cargo. Even an "old" bowl or a pair of "worn" chopsticks are soaked with "deliciousness". Whether sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, fragrant, or astringent, every taste has its own irreplaceable aftertaste.
The small intestine filling with green onions is a very unique way of eating. It is characterized by its sweetness and deliciousness, which is deeply loved by people in southern Fujian. Maybe, it is not your "dish", maybe, you will like it as much as I do. "

Ingredients

750g Small Intestine
750g Shallot

Southern Fujian Special Food-----small Intestine Enema

1. After cleaning the front side of the small intestine, turn it out, wash it twice with clean water, and then place it in a larger basin. Add appropriate amount of cooking oil and dry starch (at this time, no water is added to the basin). Wash out a lot of viscous material, rinse with water. Repeat this 3 to 4 times. Then align the small intestine with the faucet and rinse the original front side. (Because when washing the negative side, it will definitely leak into the small intestine if you keep scratching and washing it).

2. Pick and wash the green onions, and control the water.

3. Turn the thoroughly washed small intestine back to the front, and start filling with green onions about 2 cm away. (Because I need to leave a place to tie the knot)

4. Fill the green onions into the small intestine. (I actually poured 3 green onions here, for a better demonstration, so I only used 1 in Figure 3)

5. After filling in a section, add the spring onions in time. Keep pouring down like this.

6. Fill it all.

7. The filled small intestine is tied with clean cotton thread to the 4 heads.

8. Put it in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and adjust an appropriate amount of salt according to your taste.

9. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Turn to medium and low heat and cook for about 1 hour.

10. Add an appropriate amount of white radish slices. (It doesn't matter if you add it or not, it has nothing to do with the onion filling)

11. Continue to cook for about 20 minutes until cooked, add a little chicken essence. (Essence of chicken can also be omitted)

12. Before eating, pick up the small intestine with chopsticks in the left hand, and cut into sections with kitchen scissors in the right hand before serving.

Tips:
Poetry heart phrase:

1: The small intestine must be cleaned. And don't add salt to wash the small intestine, because the salted small intestine will taste a bit bitter.

2: When cooking, if you add some ribs and cook together, the taste of the soup will be better.

3: Green onions are not the kind of fine chives, but the larger, sweet-tasting green onions.
