Using a bowl, add the mixed ingredients including: 1/2 of the garlic, the chopped chilies, 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 2 spoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of satay, mix well to dissolve the seasonings.
Then put all the above mixture into the pre-prepared pig’s ears and marinate for about 20 – 30 minutes for the pig’s ears to absorb the flavors.

Pour 4 tablespoons of cooking oil into the pan and heat over medium heat. Wait for the oil to get hot, then add all the remaining minced garlic and chili into the pan. Use chopsticks to stir until the mixture of garlic and chili is golden and fragrant, then add the marinated pig’s ears into the pan and stir well.
After the pig’s ears firm up, add 300ml of fresh coconut water and cook over low heat until the sauce thickens, meaning the pig’s ears are cooked and infused with flavor. Adjust the seasoning one last time to see if it’s to your taste, then turn off the stove.
