How to Make Stir-Fried Pork Ears with Green Peppers

Stir-fried pork ears with green peppers is a crispy, savory dish that balances textures and flavors. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 200g cooked pork ears (thinly sliced), 2 green peppers (julienned), 3 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp cooking oil, a pinch of salt and pepper.

Steps:

1. Prep the pork ears: If using uncooked pork ears, boil them with ginger and salt until tender (about 40 minutes), then slice thinly. For cooked ones, simply rinse and slice.

2. Stir-fry aromatics: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (10-15 seconds).

3. Cook the pork ears: Add sliced pork ears and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly crisped.

4. Add green peppers: Toss in julienned green peppers and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they turn bright green but remain slightly crisp.

5. Season: Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir for another 30 seconds.

Serve hot with steamed rice. The dish’s crunch from the peppers and chewy pork ears makes it a favorite. Enjoy this quick, flavorful meal!
