Stomach

Pork stomach (maw) is the cleaned muscular organ used in soul-food stews, Chinese stir-fries, and as a casing for haggis-like products in some traditions. Thorough cleaning is essential; pre-cleaned maw saves labour. Simmer until tender, then slice for chilli-vinegar cold plates or spicy braises. Texture should be pleasant chew, not rubber bands—time fixes toughness. Season assertively. Use clean equipment; raw maw is not a casual prep.
