Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Liver: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken liver with Shaoxing wine, a pinch of salt, and cornstarch. Toss gently to ensure the liver is well-coated and let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: While the liver is marinating, whisk together the chicken broth, Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and a touch of cornstarch in another bowl.
  3. Cook the Liver: Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken liver, cooking undisturbed for about 1 minute until golden brown.
  4. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced onion and cook for about 1 minute until soft. Add the cooked chicken liver and bell pepper, stirring together for another minute.
  6. Finish with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Serve Hot: Drizzle sesame oil over the dish and serve immediately over rice.
