1 lb. beef tripe
2 tablespoons sliced ginger
3 sliced garlic cloves
1/2 red pepper
2 cups green onions
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon corn starch in 1/4 cup water

Stir fry to make sure ingredients are mixed well together. Add red peppers and stir fry for 1 minute. Add green onion and mix in cornstarch solution to thicken sauce. Enjoy!

[@Thorralf83]

Here in Germany beef tripe is also a traditional ingredient. Looks good as always :)

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I wasn't too sure about how popular beef tripe is around the world. Interesting to hear it's also a tradition in Germany. Thanks for your continued support.

[@CologneCarter]

This is true, but I've only seen the first stomach (Pansen) and never the third (Bälttermagen). I wonder if there is a difference in taste and texture.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

CologneCarter Different texture but no taste unless you add ingredients to flavour it. Sometimes Chinese restaurants serve all the different types together.

[@Thorralf83]

CologneCarter (click on "read more" for english translation) Oh :) ich wusste gar nicht dass es da Unterschiede gibt. Wusste zwar dass Rinder mehrere Mägen haben, aber nicht dass man "Tripe" speziell mit Blättermagen übersetzen muss. Intressant zu wissen, kennst du dich da aus beruflichen Gründen näher mit aus? Grüße aus'm Ruhrpott Uh, :) I didn't know that there are any differences, actually. Indeed, I do know that cows have multiple stomaches, but what I didn't know was that "tripe" is the translation of "Blättermagen" in particular. Intressting to know. May I ask you if you know about this because of occupational reasons? Best regards from Ruhr

[@CologneCarter]

Thorralf83 Tripe actually is a generic term for all chambers of the cows stomach used in the kitchen. The chambers have different names of course, same as in German. But I just had to look them up on the internet (wikipedia) as I am not familiar with those. The first (Pansen) is called blanket/flat/smooth tripe, while the third (Blättermagen) is called book/bible/leaf tripe. The reason I noticed the difference between smooth tripe and leaf tripe was just because I am curious in general and the latter isn't quite common in German stores. Greetings from Cologne. German: Tripe wird allgemein als Oberbegriff für Kumagen benutzt, egal welcher. Die einzelnen Mägen haben unterschiedliche Namen, genau wie im deutschen. Aber ich musste jetzt nachschauen (Wikipedia), weil ich mit den Namen nicht vertraut war. Ich bin deshalb aufmerksam geworden, weil ich generell neugierig bin und in deutschen Läden bisher nur Pansen gesehen hatte. Grüße aus Kölle. ;)

[@zeliarego9362]

THK U ! I will be making your recipe, I’ve been looking just plain white Sautéd with ginger and garlic .

Yes, that sounds great, with ginger and garlic. Thanks for viewing my video on chinese Beef Tripe.

[@victoriahao9960]

Simple n delicious ...i will use this recipe next time ..i just cooked tripe with cilantro n onion .

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Cilantro and onion is a good combination. Thanks for viewing my video on Chinese Beef Tripe Stir Fry.

[@byronling9797]

Appreciate your video. I asked around how to cook it but no one could tell me until now. I didn’t know if I need to clean the tripe or not from Chinese markets. Now I know it is necessary. Have you tried boiling in steam pressure? How long?

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Glad I could help! I haven't tried steaming or boiling the tripe in my Instant Pot yet. It would take 1/4 of the time to cook in the Instant Pot. For example, 1 hour cooking time in a regular pot, would take about 15 minutes in an Instant Pot. Thanks for viewing my video on Chinese Beef Tripe.

I work in a meat processing plant and the Omasum or triple is part of what I work with every day. But I had no idea how people ate it until now. haha thank you

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

You're very welcome. Nowadays the Chinese Supermarkets have them cleaned and cooked before selling them. I remember my mom buying them and cleaning them. Then boiling several times before they can be eaten. Thanks for viewing my video on Chinese Beef Tripe. I hope you get a chance to eat it sometime.

[@barnibussnaples6561]

This looks amazing! I'll definitely have to try this recipe. Unfortunately at restaurants, they often don't rinse the tripe well enough. Nothing will ruin tripe faster than a bad wash. I almost gave up on trying tripe after my first experience because it smelled awful.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Barnibus Snaples Tripe needs a lot of cleaning. Some tripe is sold after it has been cleaned some, but it still needs lot of cleaning. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thanks for viewing my video on Chinese Beef Tripe.

[@commentcopbadge6665]

My stomach is always happy when I eat beef tripe. LOL!!! But for real though, I love all offals with tripe being my favourite. Also, the best way of cooking it is in the Chinese styles with ginger, onion and garlic being the base flavours. Always yummy.

[@Garettteh]

IS there a need to boil it for 45mins-2 hours? Is it to remove the smell ? I do hate the slight smell of beef Omasum .

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Boiling the tripe helps remove the smell. As well, boiling the tripe will help tenderize it. However, some supermarkets and shops sell the tripe that has already been been cleaned and boiled, so it may not need as much boiling. In the old days, grass and dirt is still on the tripe when you buy it. Thanks for checking out my video.

Boiled my tripe in 6 cups of water like you said.. it all boiled out and left my tripe black and melted to the bottom of my pot. Thanks...

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I'm sorry about your results. I didn't mention the temperature setting in the video or in the description. I have added the changes in the description. If you turned on the heat setting to high, you may need to add more water. Also if the size of the tripe is larger, it may require more water. Once again, my apologies to you, especially when you had to clean the pot after. Thanks for viewing my video on Chinese Beef Tripe.

I tried but my tripe came out soggy. I only boiled it for about 20min as last time I boiled it for 45min and it was so soft it was falling apart. Any advice?

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

PoppingPepsi If boiling the tripe for 20 minutes works for you, by all means continue this way. Not sure if your tripe has been precooked when you buy it. The texture of tripe is by personal preference, so whatever works is fine. Thanks for your comment and thanks for viewing my video.
