Stir-Fried Chicken Livers China Y Criolla Style image

La Caridad 78 Restaurant on the upper west side of Manhattan serves Comidas China y Criolla cuisine (The meal of Chinese and Spanish-speaking Caribbean & Latin America Cuisines). I have often had this dish for lunch along with Spanish yellow rice and Cuban black beans. This is my version of this tasty dish and it is easy to make.

1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/4 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon rice wine (optional)

Steps:

  • Preparation:.
  • Clean the chicken livers by removing the fat and grizzle, if individual pieces are in two sections cut in half, rinse under cold water and drain, set aside.

  • Cooking Directions:.
  • Place the chicken livers in a broiling pan (Ok to use tin foil for easy clean up), broil for about 10-15 minutes on one side, then turn and continue broiling for about 10 more minutes on the second side (times will vary based on the type of broiler used), set aside.
  • In a wok add the peanut oil and when hot add the green peppers and onions, then stir-fry for 1 minute.
  • Add the soy sauce mixture and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken livers and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes.
  • On individual serving plates place the chicken livers along with some yellow Spanish rice (optional) and Cuban black beans (optional).
  • Serve and Enjoy!

  • Notes:.
  • You can double the recipe ingredients to serve 4 people (times may vary) and also this recipe can be served as a side dish as well Further, I have tried first placing the chicken livers in hot oil and then drained. Then I added to the wok, but the chicken livers still releases a lot of liquid which will become cloudy and a runny sauce (not to appealing).
