Pig Ear and Cucumber Salad — Even Simple Dishes Have Unique Methods

You must choose this type of cucumber with small seeds, thin skin, crisp and tender texture, and rich flavor. I personally especially like the Miyou variety. Smash it open and cut it into medium-sized pieces. Do not cut them too large, and certainly not too small.

Cut the pig ears into strips.

Put the cucumber and pig ears in a bowl, and add minced garlic.

Add a little MSG.

Add an appropriate amount of chili oil.

Add white sugar little by little to enhance the flavor, and be careful not to add too much to avoid it tasting too sweet.

These last two points are crucial: First, add one-third more salt than usual when cooking. Second, never add it early; add salt just before eating. Mix well and eat immediately.

Crispy texture, delicious and tasty!
