Mixed pork offal soup
綜合豬雜湯
Also called: 綜合湯 · 綜合肉湯 · 豬雜湯
A clear pork broth with an assortment of offal such as tongue, stomach, intestine and liver.
What it is
Order 綜合 ('mixed') at a pork glass-noodle stall and you get a bowl of broth with several cuts. A bowl at Fang De in Kaohsiung holds pork tongue, stomach, large intestine and the meat attached to the liver (肝連).
How it is made
Stalls keep a pot of pork broth hot and cook the cuts in it. A Ming in Tainan warms its offal in aluminium cups in a water bath to keep it crisp and tender. Fang De in Kaohsiung keeps its broth going over a charcoal stove under the cart.
How to eat it
Have it as the soup with braised pork rice, or ask for glass noodles or egg noodles in it.
In Kaohsiung
UDN reports that Fang De, in Kaohsiung's Xinxing district, has passed through three sets of owners in more than a century. It appears in UDN's 500 Bowls guide.
