Spicy Braised Liver

Spicy Braised Liver

　　Spicy Braised Liver is a traditional and well-known dish in Diqing, especially popular in Weixi and along the Jinsha River, loved by every household. To prepare it, chili fruits are deep-fried, then cleaned pig liver and intestines are cut into pieces and stir-fried in the chili pot for a few minutes. After that, water, salt, fried tofu cubes, Sichuan peppercorns, and bamboo leaf vegetables are added, and the mixture is simmered until cooked. Its flavor is uniquely spicy and numbing, with the level of spiciness and numbness adjustable to taste—perfect for accompanying rice. (Diqing)
