5-6 chicken livers

Cut chicken livers in half. Remove and discard any sinew that was connecting the halves. Cut the halves in half again.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Put the liver pieces in a sieve.

Meanwhile, in a bowl large enough to accommodate the livers, mix
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1-1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro.

When the water in the pot is boiling, lower the sieve containing the liver pieces into the water and cook for about 2 minutes (or slightly more). The water will have barely come back to a boil. Remove the livers; they should be pink inside. Add to the bowl of sauce and mix well.

Serve with chopsticks or forks.” (I use toothpicks El)

NOTE: I drop a small amount of chicken livers at a time into boiling water and scoop them out with a sieve. I don’t like the liver too pink so I simmer them just a tad longer. I found that some people that don’t care for liver, like this. I dont usually use cilantro. (El)
