    It was incredibly delicious. I made it with bean sprouts instead of paprika and onion. The seasonings are basic, so it was easy to make. There was none of that raw liver smell, and the flavor soaked into the bean sprouts, so it turned out really tasty. Even people who don’t like beef liver should be OK with this. It’s hearty but light and easy to eat, so I thought it would be good when you’re tired or recovering from an illness. What helps most is how easy it is to make. It’s the kind of dish you could eat with endless bowls of rice.

    I made this with yellow bell pepper. I couldn’t really taste much garlic, but it was delicious. I added quite a lot of freshly ground black pepper. It’s probably not as strongly seasoned as what you might imagine from the name “stamina stir-fry.” The tender beef liver, crisp vegetables, and slightly sweet soy sauce flavor make it very easy to keep eating.

    I was told it was delicious.
