Ingredients for preparing pig ears
Preparation of Ingredients:
To prepare boiled pig ears: 1 piece of ginger; 1/2 teaspoon of salt; 1 tablespoon of white wine; 1 tablespoon of vinegar; 1 onion; 1 small lump of brown sugar if available.
For the fish sauce mixture: 1/3 teaspoon of salt; 1 tablespoon of sugar; 1 tablespoon of fish sauce; 1 tablespoon of lime juice; 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper. (Adjust the fish sauce mixture according to your preference for saltiness)
How to make delicious pig ear salad:
Step 1: After purchasing pig ears, rub salt and vinegar or lime vigorously on the inside of the ears to remove any unpleasant odor. Then rinse thoroughly with cold water. Soak the pig ears for another 15 minutes with lime water. Also, remember to remove the hair from the ears beforehand.
To select delicious pig ears, pay attention to choosing ones that are white-pink, avoiding dark pig ears as they might be old or from diseased pigs.
Step 2: Wash the cucumber thoroughly, cut it in half, remove the seeds, and slice it diagonally slightly thicker.
Step 3: Boil 2 liters of water, add all the ingredients for boiling pig ears. Then add the pig ears and boil together for about 30-35 minutes. (Do not overcook, or the pig ears will become mushy and lose their crispness)
- When the pig ears are cooked, remove them and rinse them in cold water to remove any stickiness.
Slice the pig ears thinly, ensuring not to cut them too thick.

After boiling the pig ears until cooked, slice them into strips.
Step 4: Put the pig ears in a bowl, then add the fish sauce mixture and cucumber. Wear gloves and gently mix them well, then add coriander, chili, onion, garlic, and peanuts. Season to taste.
