Taiwan

Taiwan #13 San Bei Ji (Three Cup Chicken)

This recipe is from one of my favorite cooking shows - Ching-he Huang's Easy Chinese http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/ching-he-huang/three-cup-chicken-with-garlic-spinach.html.  "Three cup" is in reference to the three equal parts ingredients that are used - soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and Shaoxsing rice wine.  Note: you use equal amounts, not full cups.  I used a scant 1/4 cup of each for four chicken thighs.  The recipe is a popular Taiwanese dish and was traditionally made in an earthenware pot and brought to the table sizzling, almost on the cusp of burning.  I used organic, boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut in pieces and browned with ginger and garlic.  The liquid mixture and a sprinkling of sugar is added and cooked until reduced down about 75 percent.  Toss with Thai basil leaves and fresh Fresno chiles, and serve with rice.
