How to deal with chicken gizzards

Chicken gizzard processing method is:

1. Wash it with water, remove the yellow skin and fat, turn it inside out and wash it clean, then soak it in water for a while. If necessary, put it on a plate, sprinkle it with salt, and poke it to wash it.

2. After washing, cut into small slices, add salt, light soy sauce and cornstarch and marinate for ten minutes to remove some of the fishy smell.
