Ingredients

• 200g chicken liver
• 1 tsp cooking oil
• 1/2 small piece, sliced red onion
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps

1. Rinse chicken liver briefly and pat dry; trim any greenish parts because they taste bitter.
2. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté onion for 1 minute.
3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add chicken liver and sear for 2 minutes, turning gently so the pieces do not break apart.
5. Pour in soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, and pepper; let boil uncovered for 1 minute.
6. Lower heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes until the liver is cooked through but still tender.
7. Uncover and reduce sauce for 1 to 2 minutes until glossy.
