Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. Rinse the chicken1 livers, pat dry, and cut into 2 cm chunks; slice the pear2 into 1.5 cm rounds; cut the onion4 into half-moons; wash and dry the arugula3.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion4 for 2–3 minutes until soft.

  3. Add the livers, cooking for 6–7 minutes, stirring often, until golden-brown and fully cooked through (no pink juices when sliced). Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Transfer the livers and onion4 to a plate.

  5. In the same skillet, sear the pear2 for 2–3 minutes until lightly caramelized; stir in the soy sauce and honey, cooking 1 minute until thickened.

  6. Arrange the arugula3 on a platter, top with the livers and onion4, then the pear2, and drizzle with the sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips

Why it works
Sauté liver at medium heat to avoid burning before the inside cooks through. High heat makes it tough and bitter.
Substitutions
Use 100g apple instead of pear for sharper sweetness; swap soy sauce for 10g fish sauce if unavailable.
Common mistakes
Overcooking liver turns it gray and rubbery; check after 3 minutes. It should still be pink inside.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh; liver oxidizes quickly and loses texture. Freeze pears only if cooked separately first.
Serve with
Pair with 100g steamed jasmine rice to balance the richness and cut through the sauce’s stickiness.
