Chinese Kidney Recipe

[Craig Bayliss]

I'm not sure that my searching has been very effective but so far I haven't been able to turn up a chinese recipe with kidney as the primary ingredient. I have about 1/2 a kilo and chinese is my current culinary favouite so if you have a recipe, or the name of a dish, I'd really appreciate it.

Fuchsia Dunlop's recipe for Fire Exploded Kidneys is great.

From her book, Sichuan Cookery (UK title) or Land of Plenty (US title).

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be online. Buy the book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Hi Craig,

I pulled a old book I have called "The Complete Chinese Cookbook - Over 500 Authentic Recipes from China" by Jacki Passmore and Daniel P. Reid. There are four kidney recipes in the book. When I get a chance I'll check some others.

Regards,

Hank

There is a beautiful rendition of a kidney chrysanthemum in one of the two following, probably in the first:

Great Garnishes (Wei-Chuan's cookbook) (Paperback)

by Su-Huei Huang (Author), Wei-Chuan Publishing

Chinese Snacks (Wei quan shi pu) (Paperback)

by Su-Huei Huang (Author), Wei-Chuan Publishing (Author)

Both are available used for about $6/each.

The first one is worth getting for many interesting things besides the kidney, which you need to see step-by-step to accomplish.

Thanks all for your replies, I did go looking for the cookbook by Fuchsia Dunlop. The bookshop I went to didn't have it and I ended up walking out with 'Pork and Sons' instead

And because I also had some black pudding I made the potato and black pudding gratin, it was delicious
