This dish is called Three Cups Chicken, referring to the three core ingredients use in cooking it; one cup of soy sauce, one cup of wine and one cup of sesame oil.
We don’t exactly use three whole cups, depending on the quantity of chicken and our preference in taste.
The three sauce ingredients are cook together with the chicken, creating a thick and sticky syrup that is absorbed into the meat. The reduced sauce produce an intense flavour and coats over the chicken pieces.
The addition of basil at the end of the cooking not only add fragrance but also make a nicer presentation.
This dish is a super accompaniment for the rice.
