Something I rarely find anymore, and it's cheap! But I wanted to try something different, and came up with this. Very nice, really good, and as long as you don't overcook the kidney, tender, like butter almost.

Steps

1

Clean kidneys, this is how they look out of the package for me.
2

Cut them in half lengthwise
3

Thinly slice across, about 1/4 inch thick
4

Then use your knife to remove the fat and connective tissue
5

Place in a bowl large enough to hold the meat, plus water.
6

Add vinegar, and enough water to cover kidney. Let sit 2 hours.
7

After 2 hours, drain and rinse, throw out the water vinegar mix.
8

Place in a bowl
9

Add marinade ingredients
10

Mix well, set aside 30 minutes, but I like a couple hours myself.
11

Prep your Main things, slice onion, dice garlic, jalapeno and ginger
12

Add some oil to a wok/stir-fry, heat on medium
13

Add onion, garlic, ginger and jalapeno, cook until onion is translucent
14

Drain kidneys, add to wok, toss marinade
15

Kidney is one of those things that you cook really quick, or a long time. Everything in between means a rubbery, chewy piece of meat. We are going quick for this one.
16

Add the fish sauce, and stir constantly. This should take about 5 or 6 minutes to cook. You want the kidney just done. You have to tell by look mostly, but a picture looks the same as uncooked.
17

I served mine with rice

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
