Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken livers fresh
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) soy sauce
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ lemon squeezed
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • Onion rings divided (some for toppings, some to add to the chicken livers)
  • Cooking oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, add chicken livers, soy sauce, garlic, lemon and ground black pepper. Mix, cover, and marinate in the fridge overnight.

The next day:

  1. In a pan over high heat, add cooking oil. Add sliced onion rings and cook until soft. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Using the same pan, add cooking oil. Add the chicken livers including the marinade. Cook the chicken livers with the marinade for 3 minutes. Next, drain the chicken livers and discard the marinade. Add more oil to the pan and cook the drained chicken livers for 5-7 minutes more or until chicken livers are cooked through. (SEE NOTES)

  3. Add the rest of the uncooked sliced onion rings, turn off the heat, and cover the pan.
  4. After a few minutes, you can enjoy the Bistek Style Chicken Livers with warm rice.

Recipe Notes

  • Initially, you can discard the marinade before adding the chicken livers to the hot pan. I like cooking the chicken livers with the marinade for about 3 minutes for better taste.
  • Cooking the chicken livers with the marinade for a long time will result to a salty dish.
