@recipetineats: If you’re stuck in a dinner rut, make this! Recipe in caption ⬇️ - N x ❤️ TAIWANESE THREE CUP CHICKEN Serves 4   1 1/2 tbsp plain oil – canola, vegetable, peanut 600g/1.2 lb chicken thighs*, boneless, skinless, cut into 2.5cm/1″ pieces 6 slices ginger (~3mm / 1/8″ thick) 1 1/2 tbsp finely minced garlic (~5 – 6 cloves, yes, lots!) 2 dried red chillies* 1 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame oil 1 cup lightly packed Thai basil leaves, substitute regular basil leaves or 2 green onion stems cut into 5cm/2″ lengths SAUCE - mix: 2 tbsp light soy, or all-purpose soy 2 tsp dark soy 1 tbsp white sugar 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine or Taiwanese rice wine (mijiu) if you can find it, or chicken stock/broth SERVING – white rice   1. Heat oil on medium, toast ginger and chilli for 30 seconds. Turn up to high, cook chicken for 3 minutes or until surface all changes from pink to white. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds (will smell amazing!). 2. Add sauce, simmer quite rapidly for 5 min, stirring every now and then, until sauce becomes like a thin syrup and chicken is stained mahogany like in the video. Stir in sesame oil and basil leaves until wilted, serve immediately over rice.     * Chicken – breast also ok but simmer on higher heat so it’s done in 3 minutes. Chilli - barely noticeable spicy, but can omit, or sub 1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes. #recipetineats #threecupchicken #taiwanesefood #chickendinner
