This Rumaki Teriyaki recipe is perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in. The combination of the tender, rich chicken livers and the smoky flavor of bacon, complemented by the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, makes for a truly satisfying dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken livers, cleaned and trimmed
- 8 slices of bacon, cut in half
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)
- Skewers (if desired)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Add the cleaned chicken livers to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator, to allow the flavors to meld.
- After marinating, preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
- Remove the chicken livers from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Wrap each liver in half a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick or skewer if using.
- Place the wrapped livers on the grill or a baking sheet lined with foil. Grill or bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the bacon is crispy and the livers are cooked through.
- When cooked, arrange the Rumaki Teriyaki on a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining marinade that has been boiled for safety, or serve with a side of additional teriyaki sauce.
- Garnish with fresh green onion slices for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Enjoy this delicious Rumaki Teriyaki as an appetizer for your next party or as a special treat for yourself. The combination of flavors is sure to take your taste buds on a remarkable adventure!
