How to Make Garlic Pork Liver: A Step-by-Step Guide

Garlic pork liver is a savory, tender dish loved for its rich flavor and quick preparation. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to master it at home.

Ingredients: 250g fresh pork liver, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp starch, 1/2 tsp sugar, a pinch of salt, and 2 tbsp oil.

Steps:

1. Prep the Liver: Rinse the pork liver, remove veins, and slice it thinly (about 1cm thick). Soak in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce bitterness, then drain and pat dry.

2. Marinate: In a bowl, mix the liver with soy sauce, oyster sauce, starch, sugar, and salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.

3. Cook: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry minced garlic until fragrant (30 seconds). Add the liver slices and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just cooked (avoid overcooking to keep it tender).

4. Serve: Dish out immediately and garnish with chopped scallions or sesame seeds if desired. Pair with steamed rice for a satisfying meal.

Tips: For extra crispness, blanch liver slices in boiling water for 10 seconds before stir-frying. Adjust garlic quantity to your taste—more garlic means a bolder flavor! This dish balances umami, sweetness, and garlic’s aroma, making it a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy your homemade garlic pork liver!
