Braised Intestines in Brown Sauce is one of the famous dishes of Shandong cuisine. It is cooked in a very delicate way: first blanched, then deep-fried, and stewed with 10 more condiments. It tastes tender and fat but not greasy.

The dish was created by a restaurant in Jinan city during the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1871-1908) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). In September 2018, it was rated among the top 10 traditional dishes in Shandong province by the China Cuisine Association.
