Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken livers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 Shallots, finely sliced
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Red chili peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 2 tablespoons Kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 100 milliliters Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean and trim the chicken livers, removing any connective tissue or fat. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, sliced chili peppers, and grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and coriander powder. Stir well to combine and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 6

Add the chicken livers to the skillet and stir gently, ensuring they are coated with the spice mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the kecap manis, soy sauce, lime juice, and water. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the livers cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through (no pink in the center).

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or crusty bread.
