Pig's ears, also known as windward ears, are rich in gum and are suitable for people with insufficient qi and blood and thin body. Usually, what we see most is braised pig's ears, which is the best appetizer for foodies, with soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, garlic foam, coriander and chopped green onion. Pig ears are chewy, fat but not greasy, crisp and spicy, and never tire of eating them.
Pig ears are delicious, but the price is too high to buy outside. The price here in Hunan is one catty in 45 yuan. I don't know what other places are like.
The method of braising pig ears:

There are many guests at home during the Spring Festival, which is very lively. Not every dish takes a long time, so prepare some time-consuming ingredients in the early stage and simply put them on the table, which is beautiful and full, killing two birds with one stone. Cut it again. This is easy to shape.
Because you have to make a platter and go back to the nest, don't change knives for pig ears. Cut directly along the pig's ear. Don't cut it too thin, which is equivalent to the thickness of chopsticks. Better put it on a plate.
