Sorry about your mom. And good luck with the garlic pork. Happy holidays.

Can this be grilled instead of fried?

@@karennichols1117 absolutely. You can do it in the airfryer too.

I like to cook it for tenderness. The vinegar makes it extra tough.

I've done that before but I like this method better.

You're welcome

Hope it turns out great. You're welcome 😊

Hi Donna good to see you. Happy holidays 😊

Hi Tracy. Good luck hope it turns out great.

Yes I've seen other people used beef but without bones.

Yes you can use beef or lamb

Yes my dear Christmas isn't complete without those.

You can use black bean cakes. Here's the short cut: use canned black beans. Drain ( save juice). You can rinse the beans if you don't want the salt. Put the beans in a plate mash them to the consistency you want. Use juice with other ingredients garlic etc.add to bean mixture. Not enough to make soupy. Maybe a quarter cup. Cover in refrigerator overnight. If it's too dry use a little more juice the next day. Make bean patties. I prefer small ones. Grill on a piece of foil until crispy or flour lightly and fry in a little olive oil. I like garlic flavor oil. Enjoy!

Awesome

Yes sis you can use beef thank you for stopping by. Happy holidays ❤️

@@candythaglamcook thank you Happy holidays

Great

You can if that's what you're comfortable with.

Will do. Thanks.

Thank you

I don't think it softens but getting a good cut of pork is what makes it tender like the pork shoulder/ butt. The leaner parts are more tough.

Never heard of that but I guess you could.

Yes you can, I'm allergic to pork so I do garlic chicken or beef.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Yes dear wash the pork first with vinegar or lemon juice or both.

Sugar is always used when pickling or brining stuff. Look it up.

Yes it is. Makes a huge difference in taste

Thank you

Yes you sure can

Thank you.
