Sambal Goreng Hati (Indonesian Spicy Beef Liver)

Why I Love This Recipe

Don't let the word spicy prevent you from trying to make this recipe. Since my wife can not handle real spicy foods, I always prepare Indonesian food on the mild side and add sambals (hot pepper pastes) at the table. Selamat Makan!
