Chapter 1081: Chapter 375: The Hardest Lung Cleansing Chapter 1081: Chapter 375: The Hardest Lung Cleansing With an inexplicably solemn heart, Tang Luo pushed the ghastly pale pig lung into his mouth. The lung, softened by the medicinal liquid, disintegrated upon entry, its unique organ flavor and aroma flooding his taste buds and brightening his eyes.

After gnawing on corn stalks for days, Tang Luo’s mouth had grown utterly tasteless. Now, simply chewing on the unseasoned pig lung, he felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Of course, the delightful taste Tang Luo was experiencing was also because the pig lung had been exceptionally well-prepared, with none of the typical gamey odor.

Having grown up in luxury with exquisite delicacies, Tang Luo had tasted and seen much, and as someone well-read, he knew too well how complicated it was to properly prepare a pig lung.

According to the Culinary Scripture, among pig offal, washing the lung was the most difficult: first, one had to rinse out the blood from the lung’s passages and remove the outer membrane. After thorough beating and scraping, and then hanging to dry, the most complex steps were removing the tubes and cutting away the films. Only by completing all these intricate steps could one produce a piece of pig lung ready for cooking.

One could boil the lung in strong alcohol for a day and a night until it shrank within the broiling liquid, resembling a white lotus floating on the surface of the soup, which, served with seasoning, would melt in the mouth; or one could shred the lung and stew it until tender in chicken broth; alternatively, one could stew it with snow pears for a gentle approach, providing the effects of calming coughs, expelling phlegm, clearing heat from the lungs, and replenishing insufficient lung qi.

Because the preparation of pig lung was so labor-intensive, even the kitchens of Tang Mansion did not make it often.
