How to prepare Pork Ear Salad with Fig

Prepare the ingredients
Prepare a basin of water, then separate each fig from the cluster and soak them in water to let the latex drain out completely.
Once separated, slice each fig into pieces and place them in a basin of diluted salt water. Soak for about 20 minutes, then remove, rinse thoroughly, and drain.
Use a razor blade to clean the pork ears thoroughly, paying attention to wash the part near the ear canal. Peel the garlic and chop it finely. Remove the stems from the chili, wash it, and chop it finely.

Boil the pork ears
Place a pot of water on the stove, bring it to a boil, then add the pork ears and boil until cooked.
Once the pork ears are cooked, take them out and immediately soak them in ice water for about 5-7 minutes. This method helps retain the crunchy texture of the pork ears.
Next, slice the pork ears into bite-sized thin pieces.

Mix the salad
In one bowl, combine filtered water, white vinegar, sugar, and salt, then stir well until the mixture is completely dissolved. Next, mix this with the figs, garlic, and chili first.
Then, place the pork ears in another bowl, pour the mixture over them, mix well, and let it marinate for 30 minutes to complete the dish.
Final Product
After completing the dish, serve the salad on a plate and decorate it beautifully with herbs. The dish meets the requirements when it combines the crunchy deliciousness of fig and the chewy texture of pig ears, with the fig not being bitter or astringent.
Tips for Successful Execution
- To make the fig salad delicious and crunchy, you should choose whole figs, with medium-sized fruits that are uniform, not bruised, and still fresh.
- Depending on your family’s taste, you can adjust the amount of seasoning to suit your palate.
- To make the pig ears soaked in sweet and sour fish sauce crunchy and delicious, you need to choose pig ears that are bright in color, firm, and have no strange smell. When touching the pig ears, they should not feel soft, mushy, or slimy, which indicates they are fresh and good.
- You should not boil the pig ears for too long, as this will make them mushy and flaky.
