Braised Donkey Intestine

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Braised donkey intestine is a local delicacy from Mizhi. Made with an entire set of donkey large intestines, the ingredient is thoroughly washed in repeated vinegar-water rinses and then boiled until half-cooked in a pot of clear water. It is then removed and simmered in a braising broth with soy sauce, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, chopped scallions, and ginger slices until tender. When served, it is cut into small pieces and topped with the original braising juice. The flavor is numbing, spicy, salty, and tender, with an aroma that is simply irresistible — truly a standout among street snacks.
