Take note of the ingredients
Everything you need is available at your local Asian grocery store or Asian market. For exact measurements, refer to the recipe card below!
- Chicken liver – You can replace with pork liver or other types of liver according to your preference.
- Prik who makes chili pepper – These are large, mild Thai chili peppers (red and green) that add vibrant color and gentle heat; you can replace them with peppers or several large chili peppers.
- Onion
- Garlic
- Rosdee seasoning powder – A mix of powdered Thai seasonings that enhances the savory taste; you can substitute chicken broth powder if not available.
- Light soy sauce – A lighter, less salty soy sauce commonly used for seasoning without overpowering the dish; avoid using dark soy sauce for this recipe.
- Oyster sauce – A flavorful sauce made from oyster juices, salt and sugar, commonly used in Thai cuisine for its rich, umami flavor.
- Sugar – I used natural cane sugar, but white sugar is also fine: use what you have on hand!
- Oil – Use a neutral cooking oil such as vegetable, canola or sunflower oil.
How to fry chicken liver
Step 1: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant.
Step 2: Add the sliced chicken liver to the pan and sauté until almost cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Pour in all the sauces and seasonings (light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and rosdee seasoning powder), stirring well to evenly coat the liver.
Step 4: Add the onion and chilies (or bell peppers). Cook until the vegetables have softened to your liking. Serve hot with jasmine rice or sticky rice. Enjoy!
Tips for frying liver
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Work in batches if necessary. Too much liver in the pan will lower the heat, preventing good browning.
- Remove excess moisture: Pat the liver dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps it brown without steaming.
- Balance the flavors: When cooking Thai food, always taste and ultimately adjust the levels of sweetness, saltiness or spice for a perfectly balanced dish.
- Cook quickly: Fry the liver over high heat for a few minutes: overcooking makes it tough and rubbery.
How to store and reheat leftovers
- Storage: Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Heating: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a little oil to prevent sticking. Stir gently until thoroughly heated. Reheat until hot to keep the liver tender and prevent it from drying out.
- Go ahead: To save even more time, you can prepare the ingredients in advance: slice the liver, chop the vegetables and mix the sauces. Store everything in separate airtight containers in the fridge, and when it’s time to cook, add everything to the pan for quick and easy stir-frying!
