How to Make Stir-Fried Pork Liver with Onions

Stir-fried pork liver with onions is a savory, nutrient-rich dish loved for its tender liver and sweet, caramelized onions. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to achieve restaurant-quality results at home.

Ingredients:

- 250g fresh pork liver, sliced thinly

- 1 large onion, cut into wedges

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce

- 1 tbsp cooking wine

- 1 tsp sugar

- Salt to taste

- 3 tbsp oil

- Optional: A pinch of five-spice powder for depth.

Steps:

1. Prepare the liver: Rinse pork liver under cold water, pat dry, and marinate in 1 tsp soy sauce, cooking wine, and a pinch of salt for 15 minutes to remove bitterness.

2. Stir-fry onions: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add onions and stir-fry until soft and slightly caramelized (3-4 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the liver: In the same wok, add more oil if needed. Sauté garlic until fragrant, then add pork liver. Stir-fry quickly for 2-3 minutes until just cooked (avoid overcooking to keep it tender).

4. Combine and season: Return onions to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and five-spice powder (if using). Stir well for 1 minute until everything is coated. Adjust salt to taste.

Serve hot with steamed rice. The dish balances the richness of the liver with the sweetness of onions, making it a comforting meal. Enjoy your homemade delicacy!
