I was faced with a large piece of liver from the Hari Raya Haji and spent quite some minutes trying to figure out how to cook it so my kids would appreciate eating it. So, I boiled, sliced, pan-fried and cooked it in soy sauce & some spices for lunch. I'm not sure if my kids will enjoy it, but I must say it tastes surprisingly good and I know Din would! :-)
