Chaogan

Chaogan (Chinese: 炒肝，Beijing Dialect: 炒肝儿，Chaoganr，literally: liver fry) is a Chinese cuisine which is especially famous in Beijing.

The chaogan is made from pork liver, pork intestine and starch, seasoning with garlic, vinegar and soy sauce. Chaogan is traditionally served with buns.

It is widely believed that chaogan is invented by Huixianju restaurant (会仙居) in Beijing in Qing Dynasty. Although in the name there is the Chinese character "炒" （chao, literally "fry"）, the dish is not cooked by frying, but boiling, and the name is believed to be derived from the Manchus word "colambi", which means "to cook".
