Pour in the cooking wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce and marinate for about ten minutes. As for whether to blanch it first, it depends on personal preference. I soak it in the blood first and then marinate it so that the fishy smell won't be too strong.

You can also add some chopped green onion or coriander to garnish.
