Tripe is a favorite offal for many people to use as a side dish to accompany rice. The savory taste and chewy texture really make you addicted when you eat it. Moreover, if cooked properly, the texture will definitely not be tough. Usually, people boil tripe in a pressure cooker so that the texture becomes soft. However, many people still don't know the cooking tricks, so tripe still smells of prengus when served.
Well, there is one trick that can help get rid of the smell of prengus tripe , namely boiling it with the addition of whiting. However, if you don't have whiting, don't worry because there are other tricks.

So, before getting into the boiling trick, first prepare the cleaned tripe. You can clean it by pouring boiling water over it, then scrape the tripe with the help of a spoon so that the dirt is gone. After that, rinse the tripe again until it is completely clean.

Once the tripe is ready, first heat the water in a pan until it boils. After boiling, then add the tripe. Don't forget to add ginger, lemongrass and bay leaves. So, these three spices are the core kitchen ingredients to help get rid of the prengus smell in tripe.

While boiling, make sure the stove fire used is super low, so that it doesn't waste stove gas. The boiling process takes about 2 hours so that the texture of the tripe becomes soft. Once it has been boiled, the tripe is ready to be cooked into any dish you like.
