Comments: 10/29/2014 - I started with liver tofu stir-fry leftovers so I skipped many of the cooking steps.
3/3/2017 - I had one pound of beef liver that was packaged in four 1/4 pound slices. Instead of keeping it partially frozen, I had thawed it in the refrigerator, but was able to cut it using a scissors. I used the same amounts of other ingredients as in the recipe, and it was a little dry.
11/8/2017 - I processed the calf liver properly this time. I doubled the amount of sherry and soy sauce. For vegetables, I used baby bok choy, some green pepper, and a little spinach. I stir-fried the liver 1 minute, and then added the marinade and, soon after, the vegetables.
12/16/2023 - As in March 2017, I had one pound of beef liver that was packaged in four 1/4 pound slices, and I used two of the slices for 1/2 pound. It takes about 1 1/2 hour to partially thaw a slice. I used 2 cups of snow peas and 4 1/2 cups of baby bok choy. I substituted 1 tablespoon ground garlic for the minced ginger root and 1 teaspoon of powdered garlic for the minced garlic. I set the burner at #7. The liver, with its marinade, was done in about 1 1/2 minutes.
