Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork liver
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 lb pork liver into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    In a shallow dish, mix 0.5 cup flour, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Dredge each liver slice in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

  3. 3

    Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the liver slices in a single layer (do not crowd the pan). Cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Flip the liver and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through (no pink inside). Transfer to a plate.

  6. 6

    Reduce heat to medium. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp soy sauce to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  7. 7

    Return the liver to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce, and cook for 1 minute until glazed.

  8. 8

    Garnish with 2 chopped green onions and serve hot.
