Steamed Pig Brain

Steamed Pig Brain

　　Clean the pig brain and pig tongue thoroughly. Cut the pig brain into small pieces and mince the pig tongue. Mix them with finely chopped scallions, ginger, cilantro, wild Sichuan pepper, green chili peppers, garlic, lemongrass, and an appropriate amount of salt. Divide the mixture into several portions, wrap them in banana leaves, and steam in a steamer until cooked. The taste is sweet and tender, the texture is soft, and the color is milky white with a slight grayish tint. It is said to have brain-nourishing and calming effects.

　　There are dozens of dishes cooked by steaming, such as steamed pork wrapped in leaves, steamed pig brain, steamed bamboo shoot meat, steamed streaky pork, and steamed moss.
