About

The kidneys in this dish are cut in such a way that each piece becomes a frill, although it is described in the recipe name as ‘shredded’. The recipe is a close cousin of Liver in Five Spices, and the two are often cooked at the same time, making a robust pair of dishes with restorative properties.
