3 Cups Chicken

Quite easy to make, you just need the correct sauces and the relevant amount, this dish would turn up absolutely fantastic.

As I really am copying this recipe from another fellow blogger (my asian kitchen), therefore, I will show you her recipe but with a twist of my own. Those that have a "x" at the back means that I did not put this in.

Ingredients:
10 whole chicken wings,wash and clean (x - I'd used sliced chicken breast instead)
3-4 inch ginger,scale the skin and sliced
2 bulbs fresh garlic,peeled and chopped
10 pieces dried whole pepper
2 stalks Thai's basil ,use leaves only (x - can't find them here)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sesame oil
1/2 cup rice wine
2 tbsp sugar







Method:
1:Heat wok/skillet with sesame oil at medium heat,add in sliced ginger,dried whole pepper and chopped garlic,stir-fry until fragnant or lightly brown.
2:Then add in clean chicken wings and let's it braised for 5 minutes with lid on.
3:Remove wok's or skillet's lid,then add in soy sauce,rice wine and sugar .Stir-fry all the ingredients well and reduce heat to low.Let the chicken wings (x) simmer in the gravy for another 30 minutes or until the gravy thicken.
4:Check the seasoning,then add in basil (x) .Braised for another 3-5 minutes before remove from heat.
5:Dish out and serve warm with white rice.

Yoong was really happy with this dish as it turned out great. But just a wee bit too salty. Anyway, love it and you've really gotta try it (be it making your own or at the restaurant).
