About this dish

Chaogan is a Chinese dish which is especially famous in Beijing. Chaogan is prepared from pork liver, pork intestine and starch, seasoning with garlic, vinegar and soy sauce. Chaogan is traditionally served with baozi. There is a belief that chaogan was invented in Huixianju restaurant (会仙居), Beijing during the Qing Dynasty. Although in the name there is the Chinese character "炒" (chao, lit. 'stir fry'), the dish is not cooked by stir frying, but simmering, and the name is believed to be derived from the Manchu word "colambi", which refers more broadly to cooking.
