Fry the pig ears. Heat the frying pan, pour in the oil and put the ears in. Fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Pig ears for beer - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use tamari or coconut aminos as a substitute for soy sauce. Both will provide a similar savory flavor, though coconut aminos are slightly sweeter. If you're avoiding soy entirely, use liquid aminos instead.
Cooked pig ears can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure they're completely cooled before storing to maintain texture and flavor.
Yes, to make this recipe gluten-free, ensure your soy sauce is a gluten-free variety (like tamari) and that all other ingredients are certified gluten-free. Check labels on pre-packaged items like sauces or spice blends to avoid cross-contamination.
To maintain crispiness, reheat pig ears in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it will make them soggy. For extra crispness, a quick pan-fry for 1-2 minutes works well too.
Yes, you can freeze cooked pig ears. Cool them completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Note that texture may change slightly after freezing.
Pig ears are quite rich, so pair them with light, fresh sides. A simple green salad, pickled vegetables, or a tangy coleslaw works well. For something heartier, try steamed rice or roasted potatoes to balance the strong flavors.
Yes, you can use an air fryer. After marinating, place the pig ears in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown. Adjust time based on your appliance's model.
The pig ears are fully cooked when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C) if you're using a meat thermometer. Also, the liquid should completely evaporate during frying, which is a good indicator they're done.
