Naga Smoked Pork with Pork Intestine and Ginger Leaves Dish | Recipe by Khevito Elvis Lee
Ingredients :
- 1-2 long pieces smoked pork
- Fresh pork intestine
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 6-7 dry chilies
- Naga ginger leaves
- 2 small pieces of ginger two small pieces chopped
- 6 -7 garlic cloves
- Around 2 pinch of Schezwan pepper powder (Khevito uses the Naga pepper which is called ‘mitchinga’)
- Salt to taste
Preparation of the Pork Intestine :
- First clean the intestine thoroughly with lukewarm water, salt and lemon and rinse at least 7 to 8 times. This is to remove the smell.
- Boil the intestine with some ginger and salt until the intestine is cooked 70- 80%.
- Strain the leftover water which was used to cook the intestine.
- Wash the intestine again with some cold water properly.
- Cut the intestine into small pieces and set it aside.
Preparation of the chili paste :
- Boil some water to soak the dry red chilies for about 10 mins.
- After 10 mins, throw the water and smash the red chilly into a fine paste and keep aside.
Direction to cook the dish :
- Cut the smoked pork into thin slices and cook it without using any oil. Keep cooking until the smoked pork extracts its own oil.
- Once you see a considerable amount of oil from the smoked pork, add the intestines and cook it together for 15 to 20 mins.
- Add the dry red chilly paste and some chilly powder as well.
- Mix it all together n cook it properly for another 15 to 20 mins. Keep cooking on a low flame so that it doesn’t burn so we can avoid adding too much water.
- After 20 mins, add a little bit of water depending upon how much gravy you want. (Khevito prefers it to be a little dry.)
- Add the Naga ginger leaves, the pounded ginger, garlic, some salt and Schezwan pepper. Let the mixture simmer till the smoked pork is cooked.
- Once all the meat is cooked then it’s all set to be served hot and steamy!
