GIZZARDS STEW CHINESE RECIPE with soy sauce and sesame seeds

09/14/2016 by Filippo Trapella 2 Comments

The Gizzards stew is a delicious Chinese recipe I tried it on during my first travel in China. I love to recreate this dish in my house every time I miss Shanghai!  The taste of chicken gizzards is very strong and particular, but it will worth any minute you will spend into the kitchen! One of the most important steps of this recipe is the marination to clean the gizzards deeply. Chinese cooking wine is the most flavorful ingredient. It is easy to find in the Asian groceries or online, and it will move up a gear to all your Asian recipes, guaranteed!

    This turned out really great and it’s a great turn on Asian Gizzards. The only problem I saw was that even though fennel was listed in the ingredient list, you don’t mention it in the cooking instructions. It’s probably an oversite, though, after smelling how well paired with the sauce, I went ahead and used the portion you listed. The only difference, is that by the time I noticed the error, I had already browned the spices and they were covered and resting. Nevertheless, the dish turned out exceptional. Thanks for the recipe!
