Braised pork ears in Chinese marinade

Braised pork ears in Chinese marinade

It is one of my favorite dish when I was young. My family love to make it this for appetizer. It is crunchy and full of flavor. Luckily it is not hard to get the pig ears in Canada. I can make it anytime I want. It is excellent for hot summer time.
