Ingredients

• 500 g chicken livers
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tsp palm sugar (or brown sugar)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 pieces bird's eye chilies, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup holy basil leaves (or Thai basil)
• 2 tbsp water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, palm sugar, and water until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and chilies to the wok, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the wok, then add the chicken livers. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring to allow them to brown slightly.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken livers and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the livers are cooked through but still tender.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and stir in the holy basil leaves. Allow the residual heat to wilt the basil.

Step 9

Serve the stir-fried chicken livers hot over steamed jasmine rice.
