Instructions
Place all the ingredients to grind in a food processor and process into a paste
Prepare the liver (if using):
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add livers and cook until they are cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the pot and briefly rinse to get rid of the scums
Prepare the gizzards (if using):
Gizzards take longer to cook. If you boil, you may need about 30-45 minutes for them to be tender. I cook it with Instant Pot pressure cooker. I add the gizzards in the inner pot and add 1 cup of water. Secure the lid and turn the pressure release vale to "sealing". Press "pressure cooker" and make sure it's on high pressure and set timer to 25 minutes and allow natural release. Cut the cooked gizzards into bite-size pieces
Cook the potatoes (frying, baking, or with air-fryer):
If you choose to deep-fry the potato, heat up enough oil to do so and fry the potatoes until they are crispy. Dish out and set aside on a paper towel to absorb extra fat. If you choose to bake, preheat your oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with some oil. Lay the potatoes in a single layer and drizzle with some oil and bake for about 25-30 minute or longer (shake the baking sheet in between baking) until the potatoes are cooked through and crispy. Set aside
I used an air-fryer to cook the potatoes. I drizzle a bit of oil on the potatoes and then air-fry them at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy
Put things together:
In a large skillet, preheat 2 Tbsp of cooking oil. Add in the chili paste you grind earlier and saute for about 3 minutes. Add the herbs and saute for another 3 minutes. Add the cooked potatoes and livers and/or gizzard pieces and seasonings.
Stir to make sure the sambal is coating everything. If you want to add coconut cream, add it here and let it cook until it's thickened. Don't over stir or you will break the livers (if using) too much. Have a taste and adjust by adding more sugar and/or salt if needed. It should taste just savory, slightly sweet, and spicy
