How to Make Spicy Grilled Pig Tongue
Step 1: Prepare the pig tongue
There are 5 ways to clean pig tongue
- Cleaning pig tongue with lemon and salt: Rinse the pig tongue thoroughly with cold water. Then, bring a pot of boiling water and blanch the tongue for about 5 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice and rub with salt thoroughly. With this method, the pig tongue will be cleaner and whiter. Make sure to scrape off any white residues on the tongue.

- Clean pig tongue with ginger and onions: Briefly blanch pig tongue with ginger and white onion bulbs. Remember to scrape the throat part to remove all the odor of pig tongue.
- Clean pig tongue with white wine: Soak pig tongue in white wine and blanch for about 5 minutes.
- Clean pig tongue with lemongrass and salt: Bring a pot of boiling water to the stove, add some lemongrass and salt. Drop pig tongue in and blanch briefly for about 5 minutes.
- Clean pig tongue with vinegar: Soak pig tongue in vinegar for about 2-3 minutes. Then rinse again with clean water before cooking.
After pig tongue is drained, use a sharp knife to cut it into small pieces.
Step 2: Marinate pig tongue with spicy sauce
Marinate with 2 tablespoons of spicy sauce, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder. Marinate for about 20 to 30 minutes to let the pig tongue absorb the seasoning. Remember, the amount of seasoning will depend on your family's taste preferences.
Step 3: Grill the spicy pig tongue
The best way to grill spicy pig tongue is over charcoal. Arrange charcoal and grill on the grate, flipping back and forth. Brush the pig tongue on all sides while grilling. Alternatively, you can also grill in an air fryer without oil, still ensuring delicious taste and safety.
Preheat for 5 minutes. Then, place the pig tongue inside. Set the temperature to 200°C for 10 minutes. Continue flipping to the other side, set to 180°C for 5 minutes.
Note: Adjust the cooking time accordingly for different types of air fryers. Some lower-powered air fryers may require more time to cook thoroughly.
