Welcome the viewers and introduce the dish: Fried Pork Ears.

List the ingredients used in the recipe.

Clean the pork ears by scraping them with a knife and washing them with distilled vinegar and lime juice.

Rub the lime skin on the pork ears to remove impurities and let them sit in the acidity for 30 to 50 minutes.

Rinse the pork ears with cold water and drain.

Pour hot boiling water over the pork ears and give it a quick stir, then drain the hot water out.

Transfer the pork ears to a pot for cooking and add 2-3 tablespoons of Goya Mojo Creole marinade.

Add half a teaspoon of whole peppercorn and eight grounded pimiento seeds to the pot.

Add one chicken bouillon cube, two tablespoons of sour orange juice, one tablespoon of white cooking wine, and three to four tablespoons of Goya Mojo marinade to the pot.

Add two teaspoons of Goya Adobo seasoning and two teaspoons of Goya Sazon seasoning to the pot, along with one tablespoon of olive oil for marinating.

Stir everything to ensure the pork ears are evenly coated and set aside to marinate, preferably overnight in the fridge.

Before cooking, let the marinated pork ears come to room temperature.

Add five cups of water to the pot with the pork ears and cook on medium-high heat for about 45 minutes to an hour.

After cooking, let the pork ears cool down before frying them.

Prepare for frying by warning viewers about the popping and mess, and advise to cover the pot while frying.

Fry the pork ears until they start to brown, advising viewers to be cautious of the popping.

If you prefer crispy pork ears, fry longer; otherwise, three to five minutes is sufficient for color and crispiness.
