Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Remove the old roots and whiskers from the root of the folded ear, cut it into small sections, wash and drain the water and set aside.

   

2. 2 Pour sesame oil into the hot pot and stir-fry the chili peppers for spicy flavour.

   

3. 3 Chop the garlic into mince, add salt, chicken essence, sugar, light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and the previous spicy oil, mix together.

   

4. 4 The climate in the south is mostly humid, and moisture in women’s bodies can easily lead to obesity and many diseases. It’s a good choice to have a spicy and refreshing Zhiergen! (For those who don’t like its fishy smell, you can marinate the washed ear roots with salt for a while. The water will drain out and it will be much better when cold.)
