How to make Stir-fried Chicken Gizzards with Mustard Greens

• 1

  Prepare chicken gizzards

  After buying the chicken gizzards, wash them several times with water to clean.

  Once cleaned, prepare a pot of water, place it on the stove, and simmer on low heat to blanch the chicken gizzards.

  Peel and crush a piece of ginger, add it to the pot of water along with 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil and wait for about 1 – 2 minutes until the gizzards are just cooked, then turn off the heat.

  Remove the gizzards and start slicing them into small bite-sized pieces.

  Tip:

  • To help the chicken gizzards be free of slime and odor, wash the gizzards by rubbing them with salt to remove the slime, then rinse with clean water.
  • Then add a little vinegar or white wine to the gizzards and soak them for 5 minutes, finally rub them to reduce the odor and rinse again with clean water, then let them drain.

  Prepare other ingredients

  Wash the vegetables with salt water, cut off the stems and remove any spoiled leaves, rinse with clean water and cut into bite-sized pieces, then let them drain.

  Tip: After washing the vegetables, place them in a basket to drain, which helps prevent excessive water release when stir-frying, preserving the dish’s flavor.

  Peel and slice the shallots thinly, crush about 1/2 a small piece of ginger.

  Marinate chicken entrails

  Make stir-fried chicken entrails with vegetables

  Place a pan on the stove over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then add the minced shallots and ginger, stirring continuously until the shallots and ginger are golden and fragrant.

  Next, add all the marinated entrails into the pan, stir well for about 10 minutes, then add the vegetables and stir-fry together for another 2 minutes.

  Tip: To ensure the vegetables cook evenly, while cutting the vegetables, you should separate the stems and leaves, and when stir-frying, add the stems first and stir-fry for about 1 – 2 minutes before adding the leaves.

  When the mustard greens have wilted and are nearly cooked, add 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce to enhance the flavor of the dish, and season with a little bit of spices according to personal preference until it tastes just right.

  Stir-fry for another 5 minutes until the vegetables and the gizzards are evenly cooked, then turn off the heat.
