Main Ingredients- Chicken Gizzards 1kg
- Whole Garlic Cloves 30
- Dried Red Chili Flakes (whole) 3 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the chicken gizzards under cold running water. Place the cleaned gizzards in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a rolling boil. To help eliminate any unpleasant odors, add 2 tablespoons of soju to the boiling water. Boil for about 10-15 minutes. This step effectively removes impurities and blood, ensuring a cleaner taste and easier cooking process later.
Step 2
Once boiled, drain the gizzards thoroughly. Cut them into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat. In a bowl, combine the cut gizzards with 30 whole garlic cloves, 5 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, and 4 tablespoons of sesame oil. Gently mix everything together to marinate. Marinating allows the flavors to penetrate the gizzards, making them even more delicious.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a preheated pan over high heat. Add the marinated gizzards, whole garlic cloves, and 3 tablespoons of dried red chili flakes. Stir-fry continuously without stopping, ensuring the gizzards are fully cooked and lightly browned. Cooking over high heat quickly seals in moisture and maintains a pleasant chewy texture.
Step 4
Transfer the beautifully stir-fried garlic chicken gizzards to a serving plate. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds over the top for extra flavor and visual appeal. This dish is a perfect accompaniment to drinks or can be enjoyed as a healthy protein-rich snack. The satisfying chewiness of the gizzards, the sweetness of the tender garlic, and the pleasant kick of spice make this an irresistible treat you’ll want to make again and again!
