This #WasteNotWednesday, we’re asking you to reconsider the chicken liver. Move beyond drearily gray-brown pâté and give this offal another chance by whipping up these brightly seasoned chicken liver dumplings from Chefs Boot Camp alum Lee Anne Wong.
Wong starts by mixing up a filling with the chopped livers and other robust flavors, including dark meat chicken, garlic chives, and white pepper. She stuffs the mixture into homemade wrappers (store-bought skins work fine, too) and folds them into half-moons or four-cornered bites. From there, she leaves it up to you—these dumplings are delicious boiled, pan-fried, steamed, or deep-fried. Garnished with scallions and served with a soy–ginger dipping sauce, they’re the perfect addition to your dinner party spread or a decisive antidote to your takeout craving. Get the recipe.
