3 cups chicken, a Taiwan signature dish. This dish requires three main ingredients, Chinese cooking wine, soy sauce and sesame oil in the ratio of 1:1:1 . With plenty of basil leaves and ginger, add some dried chili to localize the dish to make chicken dish a heavenly spicy meal! Most children do not like the smell of the basil, so you may dish out some cooked chicken meat for the children to enjoy before you add the basil for other to enjoy!
I chanced upon this cooking demo on 3 cups chicken at an exhibition at KLCC sometimes last year. There were no recipe given to us. Just scribbled the recipe on my note pad. The 1st time I cooked this dish, I followed the amount on ingredients that turned out too oily! Yuck! Later I make alternations to suit my style of cooking You may do so to suit you. There are no fix formula on cooking to follow its all depends on one own creation and imagination! As for me are all agak agak (estimation), how about you?
