Coca-Cola

🥗Healthier: diet cola

💰Cheaper: generic cola

Diet cola reduces sugar content while maintaining flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: generic soy sauce

Tamari is gluten-free and can be a healthier option.

cornstarch

🥗Healthier: arrowroot powder

💰Cheaper: potato starch

Arrowroot is a healthier thickening agent.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is often less expensive and neutral in flavor.

1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

2

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4

Add chicken livers to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper.

5

Cook livers for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on the outside but still pink inside.

6

Pour in Coca-Cola and soy sauce; stir to combine.

7

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

8

Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry; add to the skillet to thicken the sauce.

9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is glossy and coats the livers.

10

Stir in red pepper flakes for heat, if desired.

11

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
