Ingredients:

500g fresh duck offal (liver, gizzard, heart), cleaned and sliced; 2 bell peppers (sliced); 1 onion (chopped); 3 garlic cloves (minced); 1 ginger (julienned); 2 dried chili peppers (optional). For sauce: 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, and a pinch of white pepper.

Steps:

1. Prep the offal: Blanch sliced duck offal in boiling water with 1 tbsp ginger and cooking wine for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.

3. Stir-fry vegetables: Add onions and bell peppers, stir-frying for 2 minutes until slightly charred.

4. Cook the offal: Return the blanched offal to the wok. Pour in the sauce mixture, tossing quickly to coat evenly.

5. Finish and serve: Cook for 1-2 minutes until the offal is tender but not overcooked. Garnish with scallions and serve hot with steamed rice.
