Pork ear roll is made from thinly sliced pork head meat, primarily ears and cheeks. Marinated with fish sauce and pepper, it is stir-fried with wood ear mushrooms until firm and golden.
Wrapped in banana leaves and cooled to set, it offers a blend of textures and flavours - crunchy ear and cheek, fragrant fish sauce and spicy pepper, with a hint of subtle banana leaf aroma.
In addition to its role in Tet celebrations, both pork rolls and pork ear rolls are enjoyed year-round as a complement to everyday dishes.
