Three Cup Chicken (Taiwanese Chicken with Thai Basil)

We love Taiwanese food so much that it keeps coming on the blog (and that we are already thinking about when to there again). We liked the “three cup”scallopsand乌贼so much, that I decided to try it with chicken as well (which is probably the most common version of this dish). Although the name refers to the three liquid components of the sauce (soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil), the star of this dish is the Thai basil (which is called Taiwanese basil in Taiwan), also known ashorapha.与普通(意大利)罗勒相比,它具有明显的甘草/茴香味,与其他成分和尤其是姜相同。除了姓名之外,我更愿意使用更少的芝麻油而不是与酱油和米酒相同的数量,因为芝麻油有一个非常明显的风味(特别是烤芝麻油),我更换剩余的油状油料雷竞技raybet.com大豆,花生或油菜。

伟大的三个杯鸡的另一个关键是使用鸡腿肉而不是鸡胸肉,并确保不要覆盖它。有些食谱会告诉你在酱汁中炖鸡肉15分钟,这绝对会干掉鸡肉。只需几分钟,鸡就会煮沸,温柔,非常多汁。只要您可以使用泰国罗勒,这是一个快速而简单的菜肴,可以在不到20分钟内准备好。

Ingredients

For 2 servings

300 grams (.66 lb) boneless and skinless chicken thigh, in bite size pieces

about 40 grams (1.5 oz) Thai basil, leaves only (I used a bunch that was 80 grams including the stems)

60 ml (1/4 cup) light soy sauce

60 ml (1/4 cup) shaoxing rice wine

1汤匙芝麻油

2 Tbsp cooking oil

1 Tbsp minced red chillies, or to taste

1 Tbsp minced garlic

1 Tbsp thinly sliced garlic

4汤匙切碎的葱或葱绿色的洋葱

Instructions

将食用油加热锅或煎锅。添加青葱,生姜和辣椒。

Stir fry until the aromatics start to color, then add the garlic and stir fry for 10 seconds longer.

Now add the chicken.

Stir fry until the chicken is slightly golden on all sides and you see no more raw chicken.

Now is a good time to replace whatever cooking utensils you are using with clean ones, to avoid cross-contamination.

Add the rice wine, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so that it keeps simmering nicely.

Cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Do not overcook the chicken.

Add the basil leaves, then turn off the heat.

Stir until all of the basil has wilted slightly, then serve at once.

Dry gewurztraminer from Alto Adige (Italy) or Alsace (France) is a great choice with all three cup dishes. It can handle the heat because of the low acidity, and it can handle the strong flavors because it is so aromatic. Good gewurztraminer smells of roses and lychees and is full bodied but dry, even though it seems to smell sweet.

Dirty Rice是灵魂的食物。它是米饭(可以剩下的熟米)与肉,蔬菜和Cajun或Creole Spice Mix混合。

  1. I too, have a range of ethnic foods I enjoy cooking, but I go in phases, for example, we are totally loving Korean flavours right now. I just planted my summer herb garden (it’s too cold here in winter for herbs to last through) and Thai Basil is always one of my many favourite basils (I also have Italian, purple, Columnar (this is a woody Basil that can withstand a little drought and high heat).
    I agree that with sesame oil a little goes a long way. Sadly, I rarely see toasted sesame oil in my North American grocery stores (and if I do see it, it is ridiculously expensive!). I must head downtown to China Town, perhaps I’ll have better luck next time.

  2. 关于泰国罗勒的一个很好的事情:如果你在窗台上有一个漂亮而阳光的地方,你可以在家里很容易地长大。该植物非常强大。我住在德国的西南,可以在10月甚至11月收获泰国罗勒。它比意大利罗勒更强大。只需购买三罐泰国罗勒并分开,比如,四件。在较大的盆栽中植物这些碎片,你将在本赛季来罗勒。它与亚洲超市的东西一样好。

  3. Even on said ‘blogbreak;’ you made me smile and nod and say ‘I also do it thus’! Well, sans the chillies usually! And hate to tell you ‘dirty rice’ is a very Australasian concept also . . . . really have to try Gewurztraminer again . . . .

  4. That looks so good! I never was sure if there was a difference between different basil varieties, except the obvious ones like cinnamon. Can’t wait to make this, although I’ll have to use my garden-variety basil.

  5. Couldn’t agree more about using chicken thighs. I’ve had three-cup chicken made with the breast, and it’s invariably disappointing. Wasn’t even aware of the squid and scallop versions they sound delicious, too.

  6. I’m a diabetic so I look for the nutritional information on new recipes. Do you have such a list for the Three Cup Chicken or any other recipes? They all sound and look fabulous!

    1. You can download an app called MyFitnessPal on your phone and then enter the individual ingredients. The app will tell you the nutriotional information. Three Cup Chicken does not contain any sugar, so I would imagine it would be fine for diabetics.

  7. 看起来不错!只是从台湾人的快速提醒。实际上是在慢热的开始时与芝麻油炒姜,直到姜转弯。和豆酱的一点糖也使味道更加复杂
