Three Cup Chicken

Overview

Three Cup Chicken is a famous dish in Jiangxi. When I was working as a waiter in a hotel many years ago, a chef mentioned Three Cup Chicken when he gave us a training class. This dish is made by adding a cup of rice wine, a cup of soy sauce and a cup of sesame oil. However, now in some Taiwanese restaurants, it has become Taiwanese three-cup chicken, which adds spices such as nine-layer pagoda to carry forward the three-cup chicken dish.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the chicken and cut into medium pieces. Prepare ginger slices, garlic seeds and red pepper.

   

2. 2 Boil water in a pot, add chicken pieces, and boil for a while.

   

3. 3 Remove the chicken pieces.

   

4. 4 Slice the ginger, slice the red pepper, cut the garlic sprouts into sections, and peel the garlic.

   

5. 5 Prepare a cup of sweet rice wine, a cup of sesame oil, and a cup of soy sauce. As long as the portions are the same, I used less soy sauce because I was afraid that it would be too black and not good-looking. No, it doesn’t look good this way.

   

6. 6 Heat oil in a pan and add ginger and garlic seeds.

   

7. 7 Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for a while.

   

8. 8 Pour in the red pepper, a cup of soy sauce, a cup of sesame oil, and a cup of sweet rice wine. Add salt and stir-fry.

   

9. 9 Add a little water, just enough to cover the chicken, cover the pot and cook until the water dries up, then add a few grains of rock sugar. It’s out of the pot.
