Instructions for making rolled stewed pig ears:
- Clean the pig ears thoroughly, rub with salt and vinegar (or lime), then rinse with cold water. Roll tightly into cylindrical shape using string.
- Boil water, add the pig ears to blanch to remove all impurities. Discard that water, rinse the pig ears again.
- Next, put the pig ears in a pot, add enough water to cover the pieces, season with broth powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and cola. Add cinnamon, ginger, lemongrass, then simmer over high heat until boiling. Reduce to low heat, simmer gently until the liquid thickens, the pig ears are tender, infused with flavors, and turn golden brown.
- Allow the pig ears to cool, then store them in the refrigerator for a few hours to set. Remove the strings, wrap the pig ears with aluminum foil or food wrap, and return to the refrigerator for another 2 hours to help them firm up and become crispy.
- When serving, slice thinly, and serve with chili sauce. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
