Directions

  1. Place the shredded papaya in ice water to keep it crisp. Before serving, drain it, mix it with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, rinse with cold water, and then squeeze it.
  2. Blanch the liver to make it easier to cut, then dice it and marinate it with soy sauce, sugar, salt, and seasonings.
  3. Briefly heat the star anise and cinnamon in a saucepan, add the marinated liver and broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liver is tender.
  4. Prepare the sauce by heating the water, sugar, and soy sauce.
  5. Arrange the papaya on a plate, place the liver on top, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with herbs. ≈ 2 min
