With my mum & nephew in town, I went surfing for something interested to try out & decided on this recipe from Baking Mum. And in order to explain why this dish was called 三杯鸡, I went online to locate the story behind this dish & found out that there r many versions on the origins of 三杯鸡. However, the name was derives from the 3 cups of sauces required – soy sauce, rice wine & sesame oil. Even though it does not really required 1 cup each. But I decided that this is d best way to explained to 2 toddlers.
End result - both MIL & mum commented that more wine shd be added.
