Carbon-Grilled Pig's Tail with Green Tea BBQ Seasonings

Ingredients:

• 6g green tea BBQ seasonings
• 2 pounds (about 900g) pig's tails, cleaned and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 slices ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Clean the Pig's Tails:

• Rinse the pig's tails thoroughly under cold water. Use a knife to scrape away any remaining dirt or hairs. This step ensures the meat is clean and ready for boiling。

Boil the Pig's Tails:

• Place the pig's tails in a large pot and cover with water. Add the minced ginger and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the tails are tender。

Prepare the Marinade:

• In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, Shaoxing wine, and toasted sesame oil. Add 3g of the green tea BBQ seasonings to the marinade。

Marinate the Pig's Tails:

• Once the pig's tails are tender, drain and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the tails in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly. Let the tails marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator。

Grill the Pig's Tails:

• Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the pig's tails from the marinade and place them on the grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning。

Apply Remaining Marinade:

• During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the remaining marinade onto the pig's tails to create a sticky glaze。

Garnish and Serve:

• Remove the grilled pig's tails from the grill. Sprinkle with the remaining 3g of green tea BBQ seasonings. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve hot。
• This recipe combines the tender texture of pig's tails with the unique aroma of green tea BBQ seasonings and a sweet, savory glaze, making it a delicious and exotic dish for any barbecue gathering。
