Okinawa Pork Ears In Sesame Sauce Mimigar Gomaae

This is a common appetizer served in okinawa prefecture. If you’re familiar with the japanese side dish called “horenso goma-ae” then you’ll realize that the ingredients are almost the same except for the one main ingredient. Horenso goma-ae makes use of spinach while this one makes use of pork ears. This recipe is really easy to make. I've used shredded pork ears which has been pre-boiled which i bought from a local okinawa market.

Steps

Bring water in a pot to a boil then boil the pork ear for about a minute.
Take the pork ears from the boiling water then set aside and use a strainer to drain.
Grind the toasted sesame seeds with a mortar and pestle.
For some texture , you can leave some sesame seeds unground.
In a small bowl , combine the ground sesame seeds , sugar , soy sauce and vinegar then mix well.
In a larger bowl , combine the drained pork ears and the sesame sauce.
Mix well until the ingredients are well combined.
Put on a serving plate then top with some more toasted sesame seeds before serving.
