Korean pork ears are a delicious spicy snack. It is well suited to various strong drinks. It’s easy to cook. The most important thing is to rinse the pork ears well (in Korean they must be cooked first and then pickled). Many interesting and appetizing dishes can be prepared from them. First of all - salads.
Korean Pork Ears
In order to prepare four servings of salad, you will need one pair of large pork ears, bay leaf, black peppercorns and salt. For marinade you need garlic, Korean seasoning for carrots, olive oil, sugar and wine vinegar. All these ingredients need to be taken one tablespoon. Boil a liter of salted water, cook Korean style pork ears in it with the addition of bay leaf and pepper for two hours over moderate heat. If taken from an old animal, additional time may be required. For example, up to three hours. If the water boils, you need to add more salted boiling water.
Meanwhile, prepare the marinating sauce.
This should be done as follows: crush the bay leaf, crush the garlic cloves with a press and combine them with the other components of the marinade. Cut boiled chilled ears into thin long strips and season with sauce. After placed in an airtight container, cover tightly and put in the refrigerator for a day. The finished dish is very crispy, firm and aromatic. Light garlic flavor stimulates appetite and allows you to use it as a snack. You can eat them with mashed potatoes or peas, with steamed rice. And it can be used as a component of salads. Complete the pickled or smoked pork ears with eggs, green peas, gherkins or chopped jacket potatoes. This is a good opportunity to diversify your menu. Almost any salad will benefit from such a component. Crispy
spicy appetizer will help to give many dishes a spicy touch. This offal can be added to julienne and noodle casseroles (instead of bacon).
Original soup
But do not think that you can only be useful to the pig’s ears themselves - the use of the broth that resulted from boiling them is not so obvious, but very great. He is very thick and rich. You can even make jelly from it, but you still start with soup. In addition to half a kilogram of pork ears, you will need a little bacon (smoked bacon), a glass of beans, four paprika, three hundred grams of potatoes and as many onions, one carrot, parsley, dill and marjoram. As well as a tablespoon of flour for dressing and spices to your taste.
Boil pork ears as described above, but with onions and carrots. Boil the beans separately. Paprika and potatoes peel and cut. Strain the broth, cut the finished pork ears into strips. Prepare dressing from bacon and onions. Add flour and marjoram to it. Pour the broth into it, achieving uniformity. Then put potatoes, meat, beans and peppers into the soup, cook until tender. Five minutes before the end of cooking add greens, pepper and salt.
