35 min Hands-on time + 30 min soaking or marinating first
MediumDifficulty
6 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Soak the chicken liver in milk for 30 minutes, then rinse and remove the white tendons.
  2. 2 Soaking the liver in milk is a way to remove its strong odor; without soaking, the skewers will have a pungent, fishy taste.
  3. 3 Pat them dry thoroughly, then skewer two pieces onto each skewer.
  4. 4 Simmer soy sauce with mirin, sake, sugar, and ginger to make tare sauce.
  5. 5 Grill over medium heat for 4 minutes, rotating every minute to keep the center pink and moist.
  6. 6 Overcooked liver is a powdery and bitter dish; brush with tare twice in the last 60 seconds.
