A particular Beijing snack
 
Hi guys

If you don’t mind I like to bring about a leisure question inspired by a BBC TV series of Chinese cuisine where the presenter mentioned that she accepted many kinds of offals
And inspiring by this I had been very impressed of a snack called stir-fried liver of Beijing ( I don’t recommend it as it doesn’t fit everybody especially in these weather very much heating and no any up-scale restaurant offer it)
But I personally like it so just wonder if you guys have this experience

If it is a boring question you guys just skip it :)

What's the Chinese name, and what kind of liver is it? My wife and I love pan-fried liver and have it at home, in Mediterranean and Jewish cuisine, but not come across it in China -- would love to give it a go (but perhaps when weather a bit cooler)?

Thank you guys for being interested, yes it is pig liver Vaslin
but it was stir-fry cooked with thick flavourful soup
I don't know how to put it in words about the unique texture
and Tb, if you accept eating liver things I believe it is good option
it is called 炒肝(chao3gan1) and I didn't find it in other cities but only in Beijing
It was told to be a Beijing snack loved original Beijing People
but you have to find out a decent restaurant with high standard of requirement for sanitation and cooking process and in a cooler weather
forgot mention that you may find few small pieces of cooked intestines in the soup

I like liver. I don't like chaogan. It seems to be more about the viscous soup than liver or intestines, the two times I had it it there was very little of the liver or imtestines in the soup. I like baodu 爆肚 ... Mmmmm. I think it's beef tripe with cilantro and a sesame sauce.

The soup did thick Fimo and you mentioned BaoDu I saw other people eat it
but the presentation and appearance of it prevented me from sampling it
as being said by you it sounds to be worth of trying
