Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 pounds pork ears
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup banana ketchup
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 15 bamboo skewers

Instruction

  • With a knife, scrape off any stray hairs from pork ears. Rinse and drain well.
  • In a pot over medium heat, combine pork ears, vinegar, water, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, without stirring, and skim off any foam that floats on top.
  • Add garlic, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
  • Lower heat, cover, and cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is very tender. Drain from liquid and allow to completely cool in the refrigerator.
  • Cut pork ears to about 1-inch sized pieces and thread into bamboo skewers.
  • In a bowl, combine oyster sauce, banana ketchup, and sesame oil. Stir until well-blended.
  • Grill skewered pork ears over hot coals, turning as needed and regularly basting with oyster sauce and banana ketchup mixture, until nicely charred.
  • Serve hot with spiced vinegar for dipping.
