Spicy Beef Tongue

Pepper-Scented Beef Tongue is a braised dish made primarily from beef tongue, belonging to other culinary traditions. Its core preparation process involves pre-processing the beef tongue, removing its skin and slicing it into desired shapes, and then simmering it in an aged braising broth. This dish is seasoned with Sichuan peppercorns, soy sauce, sugar, and other ingredients, giving it a distinctive five-spice flavor profile and offering health benefits such as strengthening the spleen and stimulating appetite. The preparation process includes a 4-hour marinating period and 2 hours of carefully controlled cooking stages. Once completed, the dish must be allowed to cool, sliced appropriately, and then served drizzled with the original braising broth.
