Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken livers, drained and rinsed
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Onions: Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped onion and green onions to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until the onions become soft and translucent, releasing their aromatic flavors into the oil.
-
Cook the Chicken Livers: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the skillet. Sauté the livers on each side, turning them only once, until they darken in color and become opaque, which usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side. The key here is to cook them thoroughly while ensuring they remain tender.
-
Add Flavorings: Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the oyster sauce and black pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly to coat the livers with the sauce and blend the flavors.
-
Simmer to Perfection: Let the mixture simmer uncovered for approximately 10-15 minutes. During this time, the sauce will thicken and the livers will finish cooking. Keep an eye on the dish, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the livers are fully cooked and the sauce has reached a desirable thickness, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Thai stir-fried chicken livers hot over steamed white or jasmine rice. Enjoy this flavorful and satisfying meal!
