Ingredients for making lime-infused pig ears:
(Serves 4)
- Pig ears: 2 pieces (about 500g)
- Fresh limes: 2-3 pieces
- Hot chili peppers: 1 piece, sweet peppers: 1 piece
- Coriander: 1 small bunch
- Seasonings: sugar, pepper, salt
How to make lime-infused pig ears:
Step 1:
- Use a knife to shave off the hair on top of the pig ears.
- Massage the pig ears with a little coarse salt to clean them, then rinse with cold water.
- Clean the limes and chili peppers. Remove the seeds from the peppers and slice them thinly. Remove the wilted leaves and roots from the coriander, then wash and cut into 3-4 cm pieces and let drain.

Step 2:
- Boil the pig ears for 20 minutes, then poke them with a small chopstick. If there's no light pink liquid when pulled out, the pig ears are fully cooked.
- Remove the pig ears, let them cool completely, then slice thinly because the thinner the slices, the better the pig ears will absorb the seasonings.

Step 3:
- Place the pig ears in a large bowl, add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, sliced chili peppers, and the juice of 2 limes. Mix well.
- Marinate the pig ears with seasonings, lime, and chili for 30 minutes, then place on a plate, garnish with cilantro on top, and enjoy immediately.
Note:
- Adjust the ratio of seasonings for marinating the pig ears to taste, but in this dish, sourness is key, so other flavors should not be too overpowering.
- You can add roasted peanuts or pickled starfruit to enhance the flavor of the dish.
