Po Po sayswhy we make this
In Chinese tradition, the kidneys are linked to recovery from childbirth. This dish is a quick weeknight main with a strong sesame-and-ginger character. The trick is removing the white core completely and stir-frying fast.

Method · 做法

Halve the kidneys lengthwise. Carefully remove the white core and any membrane (this is what eliminates the bitter edge).

3
Blanch briefly in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain.
4
Heat the sesame oil in a wok over high heat. Sweat the ginger for 1 minute.

Add the kidneys. Stir-fry quickly for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the wine and soy. Toss.
6
Plate, garnish with spring onion, and serve immediately. Do not overcook or the kidneys turn rubbery.

Most of the alcohol cooks off during the boil, but trace amounts can remain. If you are breastfeeding, time feeds two to three hours after eating, or skip the wine.
