My story today
This morning I woke up a little later than usual and it was pouring rain, while I was sleeping under a warm blanket, my mother went to the market. I woke up and my mom just came back. Mom said that it's raining today and won't go to work, so we will make sweet and sour pig ears to prepare for the Lunar New Year. So we were assigned the task of making sweet and sour pork ears.
Normally, when I go to school far away, this dish is only sure my mother from preparing to finish, this year because of the epidemic, I can stay at home to help my mother. thanks to that, I can feel how hard it was for my mother to prepare this dish because it has a lot of ingredients, but the way to make it, my mother said it is also very simple.


Let's find out how to make this dish with me.

Like other dishes, to have a delicious dish, the first important step is to prepare the ingredients, right?

Notice

Peeled onions.
Because onions can easily sting your eyes when peeling onions, you should soak them in a bowl of water first and then peel them, the onions will no longer be hot and won't sting your eyes when you peel onions.

Garlic: peeled, chopped

Chili: cut into small pieces about 2 cm so that when soaked will not be crushed.
After the chili, onions, and garlic are prepared, mix them well with kohlrabi, carrots, and white cabbage for another 5 minutes, then remove and drain.

Phase 2
After being boiled for 25 minutes, the pig's ears are taken out to soak in ice water, the purpose is to keep the pig ears crispy longer when salted.
After soaking for 1 hour, take it out and wash it with boiling water to cool. After washing, cut it into small pieces, just to eat.

The most important step is to make sweet and sour water. Boil about 3 liters of water, then add a kilogram of cane sugar, 5 ounces of rock sugar, a bottle of vinegar, and 4 tablespoons of iodized salt. It is important that you stir well because the sugar is very easy to burn. After boiling, turn off the heat and let it cool
