I braised some pig ears in soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and garlic



I cooked them for a good hour





I then cut it into strips



I salted and peppered it and let it sit as I heated the oil to 375 deg. the boy stared at the ears...



Once fried they are crispy and tasty, they fry down to a much smaller volume. Options for use include topings for salad or other dishes in need of cruch. try it.
