Tender pork tripe simmers with white pepper in a warming, soothing broth. This protein-rich family soup is a traditional Cantonese remedy for stomach health and cold weather comfort.
Rinse the pork tripe thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing inside and out. Blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes, drain, and rinse again.
In a large pot, combine the blanched tripe, pork bones, ginger slices, and whole scallions with 12 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then skim off any foam or impurities.
Add whole white peppercorns and Shaoxing wine. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the tripe turns tender.
Remove the scallions and ginger. Lift the pork tripe out, slice into bite-sized strips, and return to the soup.
Adjust seasoning with salt. Simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes to develop a concentrated flavor. Serve hot, garnishing with extra white pepper if desired.
