Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 1 lb Fresh chicken livers
  • 1 cup Milk (for soaking)
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mirin
  • 1/4 cup Sake
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 inch piece Ginger, sliced
  • 1 piece Garlic clove, smashed
  • 4 stalks Scallions, white parts(optional)
  • 1 tsp Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese 7-spice)(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Clean the chicken livers by removing any connective tissue or green spots, then cut into bite-sized uniform pieces.

  2. 2

    Soak the cleaned livers in milk for 20 minutes to remove any bitterness, then rinse thoroughly with cold water and pat dry.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic; simmer over medium heat until reduced by half into a thick syrup (tare).

  4. 4

    Thread the liver pieces onto bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water, alternating with scallion pieces if desired.

  5. 5

    Prepare a grill or broiler to high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  6. 6

    Grill the skewers for 2 minutes per side without sauce to sear the exterior and lock in the juices.

  7. 7

    Generously brush the livers with the prepared tare sauce and continue grilling for another 1-2 minutes, turning frequently until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat while the center is still slightly pink and creamy; do not overcook or they will become grainy.
