Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
4 ounces chicken livers, rinsed, patted dry
Kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 celery stalk, finely chopped
1/2 small poblano chile, with seeds, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tablespoons finely chopped peeled ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoons black vinegar
1 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Crystal)
1 tablespoons Thai crab or shrimp paste with bean oil

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken livers with salt and pepper and cook until browned on the outside but still pink inside, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
Transfer to a large plate and let cool. Pulse in a food processor to a coarse paste; set chicken liver paste aside.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat and cook onion, celery, chile, garlic, and ginger, scraping up any browned bits, until vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes.
Add soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, crab paste, reserved chicken liver paste, and 1/4 cup water to skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until a thick dry paste forms. (You should have about 1/2 cup.)
