Stir-Fried Pork Kidney Dish
This stir-fried pork kidney dish combines the vibrant colors of red and green bell peppers with the unique texture of pork kidney. Simple to make yet packed with flavor, the addition of ginger and a splash of cooking wine removes any gaminess, resulting in a fresh and delicious dish that's perfect with rice or as a main course.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 pork kidney (about 8 ounces), cleaned and split, scored with a crosshatch pattern, then cut into triangular pieces
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by cutting the red bell pepper, green bell peppers, and ginger. Clean the pork kidney by removing any tough or unpleasant parts. Then, score the kidney with a crosshatch pattern and cut it into triangular pieces.
Blanch the Pork Kidney:
Fill a medium pot with water until it's one-third full. Add a few drops of white wine. Bring the water to a boil, then blanch the pork kidney pieces until they turn a lighter color, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the kidneys from the pot and set them aside to drain.
Tip:
Add the white wine, this helps to remove the kidney's strong flavor.
Stir-Fry the Aromatics and Peppers:
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (about 375°F), add the ginger slices and stir-fry until they become fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, add the red and green bell peppers and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until they begin to soften and release their aroma.
Cook the Pork Kidney:
Add the blanched pork kidney to the skillet. Pour in 1 teaspoon of white wine and 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce, then stir everything together until well combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, stirring continuously as the peppers continue to soften and the flavors meld, about 2-3 more minutes.
Thicken the Sauce:
Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper, then add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet. Stir constantly as the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.
Finish and Serve:
Just before serving, drizzle a little more oil over the dish to give it a glossy finish. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
