Mimiga
With just one bite, you experience a delightful crunch. The unique texture of the cartilage combined with the mellow acidity of peanut vinegar leaves a lasting impression. Mimiga is a traditional Okinawan dish made from pig's ear skin. The name is said to be a combination of 'mimi' (ear) and 'ga' (skin). The standard preparation involves singeing off the hair, boiling, shredding, and tossing with vegetables and peanut vinegar. In Okinawa, there is a deep-rooted food culture of using every part of the animal, embodied by the saying, 'We eat everything from the pig except its squeal.' Pigs are believed to have been introduced from China around the 15th century, and Mimiga was born from the wisdom of the common people. Please enjoy this collagen-rich dish alongside your drinks.
