Preparation

For the Pad Thai Chili Sauce:
Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, for 10 minutes, blend mixture with burre-mixer. Strain though large perforated pan to catch any tamarind. Cool and store.
For the pig ears:
Flash fry the pig ears after dredging in 'Oyster' flour. Once crispy remove and season. (Be careful, without the crust on the pig ears they tend to pop a little in the fryer, try to avoid looking directly at them.).
Meanwhile, heat a small saute pan, brush with oil, add 2 T. whipped egg, scramble and add scallions, peanuts, 2oz Pad Thai sauce and the pig ears.
Coat ears with mixture and plate immediately. Garnish with bean sprouts, then cilantro and mint sprigs, place a lime wedge beside the \"Pig Ear Pad Thai\".
