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.
