Taiwanese Three Cups Chicken


This is a delicious Taiwanese Three Cups Chicken recipe. I have added some dried chilies to spice things up. This is a really simple and great tasting dish, it goes well with just some steamed rice.

Taiwanese Three Cups Chicken

Ingredients

¼ Cup Sesame Oil

2 (600 g) Bone-In & Skin-On Chicken Legs, chopped into smaller pieces
4 Dried Chilies, cut into ½ inch pieces

5 Cloves Garlic, chopped

8 Slices Ginger

¼ Cup Chinese Rice Wine
¼ Cup Light Soy Sauce
2 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Dark Soya Sauce
1 ½ Cups Thai Basil

Method

Heat a wok or large cast iron pan over a moderate to high heat. Brown the chicken pieces with sesame oil in batches, and push it aside.

Then add in the chilies, garlic, and ginger. Stir until the garlic and ginger is light golden in color and fragrant. 

Mix in the rice wine, light soy sauce, sugar, and the dark soy sauce. Stir all the ingredients together, reduce the heat and continue stirring for about 5 minutes. Toss in the basil leaves, and cook for another minute. Serve immediately with some steamed rice.

Serves 4

    I ate a lot of this in when I was living in China - at my favourite Taiwanese restaurant. Even though it's taiwanese, it reminds me a lot of the cantonese home cooking from my childhood. Thanks for this wonderful reminder :)

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
