rumaki
i'll look for other versions of this recipe, when i worked at that chinese resaturant, i know they precooked the livers (much easier to work with) ~ then they deep fried the bacon wrapped chunks.. let them cool, THEN dip them into tempura batter, and fry again. mmmmm tasty.

Emeril's recipe from Foodtv.com

1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon minced gingerroot
1 teaspoon minced garlic
12 ounces chicken livers, rinsed, drained and cut into 24 pieces
4 cups vegetable oil
1 (4-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and cut into 24 pieces
12 slices bacon, cut in half lengthwise
Skewers or toothpicks

In a shallow bowl, combine the soy sauce, sherry, ginger and garlic. Add the chicken livers and toss to coat. Let marinate refrigerated for 2 to 4 hours.
Place the oil in a deep pot or a fryer and heat to 350 degrees F. Place the bacon flat on a work surface and scrape with the back of a knife to prevent from shrinking while cooking. Remove the livers from the marinade and pat dry. Place 1 chicken liver piece on each bacon half and top with a water chestnut slice. Roll up to enclose the livers and chestnuts in the bacon. Secure with a toothpick or long skewer.

Carefully add to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and the livers are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Remove the skewers or toothpicks and place the rumaki on a platter. Serve immediately.
