How to Make Stir-Fried Chicken Gizzards with Green Peppers

Stir-fried chicken gizzards with green peppers is a savory, crispy Chinese dish that balances tender textures and bold flavors. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients:

- 300g chicken gizzards, cleaned and sliced into thin pieces

- 2 green peppers, seeded and cut into bite-sized chunks

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 ginger slice, minced

- 2 tbsp cooking oil

- 1 tbsp light soy sauce

- 1 tsp dark soy sauce (for color)

- 1 tsp Shaoxing wine (optional, for aroma)

- ½ tsp sugar

- Salt to taste

- White pepper (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the gizzards: Blanch sliced gizzards in boiling water with 1 tsp ginger and 1 tsp Shaoxing wine for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse to remove impurities.

2. St aromatics: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant (10 seconds).

3. Cook gizzards: Add blanched gizzards, stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy. Lightly season with salt and white pepper.

4. Add peppers: Toss in green peppers, stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

5. Season: Drizzle with light and dark soy sauce, add sugar, and toss quickly to coat evenly. Adjust salt if needed.

6. Serve: Dish out immediately and enjoy hot with steamed rice.

Tips: For extra crunch, par-fry gizzards before stir-frying. Adjust spice levels by adding dried chili if desired. This dish pairs perfectly with a drizzle of sesame oil before serving. Enjoy!
