Taiwanese style – Three cup chicken
25 Aug
Three cup chicken is one of my favorite Taiwanese dishes to eat! It’s a savory soy sauce based dish with basil. Some say that the dish got the name because the recipe calls for equal parts of soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine.
I thought I would try to prepare all the ingredients into separate bowls prior to cooking. It was a drastic change from my usual routine of throwing seasonings into the pot as I go. It took a while to do! Do you like it? Enjoy it then… I may not do it again for a long, long time.
Note that this dish requires Taiwanese basil, which looks like this:
Basil adds such an interesting flavor to this dish. Whoever created this recipe deserves a medal! I was able to use the sauces I bought earlier to make Pad See Ew, which is an added bonus.
