Chinese Three Cup Chicken: Savory chicken with ginger, garlic, scallions, and soy sauce. Ready in just 20 minutes in one pot. Deliciously easy!
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free version)
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 8 1/4-inch-thick slices of peeled ginger
  • 6 scallions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns or 1 diced red chili pepper(optional)
  • 2 lbs. chicken breast or thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 star anise or pinch of anise seed (optional)
  • 1/2 cup water
Instructions:
  • Create a flavorful braising liquid by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and Shaoxing wine in a bowl until well combined. Set aside for later use.
  • In a hot wok or large sauté pan, quickly stir-fry garlic, ginger, scallions, and peppercorns in oil for 30 seconds until aromatic.
  • Add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry until the surface is nicely seared and there is no pink remaining.
  • Pour in the flavorful braising liquid and aromatic star anise. Cook for 1 minute, making sure the chicken is thoroughly coated and infused with the rich flavors.
  • Pour in the water, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and no pink is visible.
  • To enjoy at its best, spoon the dish over fluffy rice, making sure to include plenty of the flavorful broth. Finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh chopped scallion on top.
