A bold Sichuan-style stir-fry featuring tender chicken giblets paired with crunchy pickled vegetables. The combination of tangy preserved radish, zesty vinegar, and aromatic seasonings creates an irresistible dish that transforms humble offal into something extraordinary.
This classic Chinese comfort dish makes clever use of chicken offal—heart, liver, and gizzard—transformed through a quick wok technique into something truly memorable. The pickled vegetables add crunch and tang, while the aromatics bring depth.
Rinse the chicken giblets thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels, then slice the heart and gizzard into thin pieces. Cut the liver into bite-sized chunks. Set aside alongside the diced pickled radish, chopped pickled beans, and prepared aromatics.
Heat oil in a wok over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add the dried red chilies and Sichuan peppercorns, stirring for about 30 seconds until they release their fragrance. Toss in the minced garlic and julienned ginger, stir-frying for another 15 seconds until aromatic.
Add the prepared chicken giblets to the wok. Stir-fry continuously for 2-3 minutes over high heat until the pieces are nearly cooked through and slightly caramelized at the edges. The liver should remain slightly pink inside for optimal texture.
Pour in the Shaoxing wine around the edges of the wok, followed by soy sauce and black rice vinegar. Add the pickled radish and pickled beans, along with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Add the green onion sections and give one final toss. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice, drizzled with any remaining pan juices.
