Recipe
Ingredients
- Chinese noodles
- Pork liver
- Shredded ginger
- Sesame oil
- Pork bone broth
- Rice wine
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Liver Prep (Lifeblood)] Slice fresh pork liver 1cm thick, wash repeatedly under running water to remove blood. Massage firmly with rice wine, salt, grated ginger, and potato starch (erases odor, makes texture plump and crisp).
- Boil clear pork bone-based broth (Qingtang) in a pot, add massive 'shredded ginger'.
- Season lightly with salt, white pepper, and a little soy sauce.
- Toss the prepped pork liver into the broth. Turn off heat quickly when the surface is white and inside is faintly pink with a 'crisp' texture (overcooking makes dry liver, absolutely NG).
- Place boiled Chinese noodles (thin or You Mian) in a bowl, pour the piping hot liver soup.
- Drizzle sesame oil, garnish with green scallions (or bok choy).

Trivia
[For Women] Taiwanese Zhu Gan lacks the 'dryness and bloody smell' typical of Japanese liver, boasting a crisp bite and sweetness. With iron supplementation and ginger's warming effect, it's an 'edible supplement' fanatically supported by menstruating women and those with cold sensitivity.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Before it overcooks, scoop out the thick liver first, dip it into a separate plate of 'Jiangyou Gao (thick soy sauce) and chili sauce' to eat!
