Braised pig's ears are one of the homemade cold dishes. The preparation method is simple and easy to learn. It is also one of the indispensable stewed flavors in the New Year dishes. Especially the "salted pig's ears" eaten as cold dishes are soft and crispy in the mouth, delicious and not greasy, and rich in gums. This kind of stewed pig ears, especially in mainland families, is a must-have dish every year. Marinated pig ears can be eaten directly, or they can be mixed with balsamic vinegar, light soy sauce, garlic, red chili oil, etc., mixed into a flavored sauce and eaten evenly. This is one of the best dishes that go with wine. Speaking of pork, I prefer to eat the parts of Mr. Pig, such as liver and large intestine. I always think these things are more delicious and nutritious than pork. I ate a lot of braised pig ears when I was young. I have a small family and rarely braised pig ears. It is also because of the taste of my family that they don’t like pork. So the appearance rate of this stewed pork is quite low for my family.

This time, for this lo-mei topic, I specially bought two pig ears and dried tofu with lo-mei. I have been using it for most of the day, and when I started to exude a burst of fragrance, I went back to my childhood in a trance, but it was a pity that the aliens didn't like to eat these, so there were no greedy cats who wanted to eat them around the stove. This time I like the wood. I adjusted the sauce personally. I can’t wait to bring me some so that I can taste the pig ears he mixed. Looking at the shiny and shiny pig ears mixed with the wood, why do I think of Zhu Bajie? Those two big flickering ears didn't want to eat anymore.
