Treat your ingredients with care...
- Tripe — Ensure that the tripe is thoroughly cleaned before cooking. Soaking it in water with a splash of vinegar for a few hours can help remove any residual odor. Additionally, simmering the tripe for a longer time will result in a more tender texture.

- For a creamier texture, you can add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream on top of each serving.
