3 cups Chicken


三杯雞 (san bei ji)
The three cups refer to one each of sesame oil, rice wine and soy sauce.

Serves 4 (haha two of me and two of wj...no lah we kept for dinner the next day...)
Ingredients
1 small chicken, cleaned and chopped into small chunks
6 cloves garlic, crushed
10 slices ginger
1 cup sesame oil
1 cup rice wine (thanks to googie who left me her Benedictin DOM!!! MUACKS!)
1 cup soy sauce
4 stalks fresh basil (optional)

2 carrots (optional)
6 chinese mushrooms (optional)

Method
Using a little of the sesame oil, brown the chicken in a sand pot or other pot
Add garlic and ginger towards the end of the browning.
Add the rest of the sesame oil, rice wine and soy sauce together with carrots and mushrooms.

Bring to a boil
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes- half an hour, really depends on the size of your chicken.
Add the basil, stalks and all, a couple minutes before cooking is done.

Notes
This is a simple but pungent salty dish that needs to be eaten with rice and preferably other dishes which is why i did a veggie on the side...just a simple bak choy with oyster sauce and fried shallots. Don't skimp on the garlic and ginger.
