Exclusive Cold Dressed Pig Ears

Simmered pig ears are chilled and sliced paper-thin, offering a famously crunchy, cartilage-rich bite that shines with garlic, chili oil and a splash of vinegar.

    You can test the cooked pig ears with chopsticks; if they can pass through, they are done.

    After it cools slightly, you can put it in the freezer for 20 minutes or place it in ice water to cool down (anyway, hot food feels greasy, and putting it in the refrigerator or ice water makes the texture crisper and more refreshing).

    Prepare cilantro and minced garlic.
