Spicy Garlic Pig Ears

Spicy Garlic Pig Ears

Have you ever tried Spicy Garlic Pig Ears?

A popular Taiwanese side dish and one of my personal favorite late-night snacks, Spicy Garlic Pig Ears.

The outer texture is soft, while the inside is slightly crunchy from the cartilage.

Spicy Garlic Pig Ears is the perfect snack because when tossed with the spicy garlic sauce, the pig ear soaks up all the garlicky flavor but still tastes refreshing and not greasy.

Did you know that pig ears are highly nutritious since most of the ear is made of collagen?

Pig ears are great for your skin and bones, and it also has high levels of iron and omega-3.

When eating spicy garlic pig ears, you will notice that your lips get stuck together because of all the collagen from the pig ears.

If you are looking for a healthier alternative, you can skip the spicy chili oil, and instead, just eating braised pig ears alone is a low-calorie and healthy snack! 

Homemade Chili Oil

The Star of the sauce for my Spicy Garlic Pig Ears is my Homemade Chili Oil.

I drizzle my Homemade Chili Oil on EVERYTHING because I promise it is the best chili oil you will ever try!

I always have homemade chili oil in the fridge, ready to go. Homemade chili oil is super easy to make, and unlike other recipes, there will be no waste.

I blend up all the garlic, spices, and herbs to take this chili oil to another level. 

Spicy Garlic Pig Ears

You can prepare Spicy Garlic Pig Ears in bulk and enjoy it as a late-night snack for a week.

The longer you store the pig ears with the sauce, the more flavourful the dish becomes. Store the pig ears in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

You can also freeze the pig ears and defrost it overnight to enjoy. You don’t need to heat the Spicy Garlic Pig Ears as you can enjoy it cold, but if you prefer it hot, you can also do so.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
