Japanese inspired liver with green onions

I was watching a show I like last night called "Midnight Diner" on Netflix, each episode tells a little quiet story in the life of a various eccentric person who goes to this late night diner. Well..... I saw the cook in the show throw together a dish of thin sliced liver with what looked like green onions (the whole shot was maybe 5 seconds) and I was immediately motivated. Upon a little research, it looks like the green onions I was imagining were actually garlic chives, and as much as that would be f-ing delightful, they just don't have them in the local markets all the time so I settled with my original plan, and the results were delicious!

Here we're eating it with a mix of 1 part red rice to 3 parts short grain white rice.

Serves 2 as a nice lunch.

Ingredients:

¾ lb calf or pork liver cut into very thin bite sized pieces

3 bunches of green onions cut into 2 inch pieces, whites and greens separated 

(or ideally garlic chives!)

2 cloves of garlic thinly sliced

1 inch of ginger julienned

3 TBS soy sauce

3 TBS rice wine

1 TBS rice wine vinegar

1 TBS cornstarch

salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Method:

Make your marinade by mixing the soy sauce, rice wine and vinegar, then set ½ of it aside

Put your liver into the remaining ½ of the marinade and let it sit for at least 20 minutes

Preheat 2 TBS of oil in a skillet to medium-medium high

Put your cornstarch onto the marinaded liver and toss to coat

Lay your liver bites into the oil and quickly fry for a minuted or so until brown on both sides, do this in batches and set the cooked liver aside when done

When all the liver is cooked add the whites of your green onions, garlic and ginger and sautee for 2 minutes

Add the liver back in with the remaining onions and other ½ of the marinade

Sautee for 2 minutes or so until the greens of the onions slightly wilt

Remove from heat add salt, sesame oil and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Eat it! It goes well with rice.
