Directions for preparing Taiwanese three-cup chicken

Step one:

Start heating the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high flame. Make sure to pour less than a whole cup of sesame oil. Now, start adding the slices of ginger, cloves of garlic, pieces of scallions, and required chillies. Then, cook for about one minute or until the mixture is fragrant.

Step two:

Once the mixture starts oozing out fragrance, start adding the chicken pieces one by one to avoid any burn. Keep stirring occasionally for two to three minutes until it looks light brown. Now, add the rice wine and soy sauce in the mixture and allow them to boil nicely.
