Three Cup Chicken

Overview

Compared with beef and pork, chicken has higher protein quality and lower fat content. In addition, chicken protein is rich in all essential amino acids, and its content is very similar to the amino acid profile in eggs and milk, so it is a high-quality protein source. Chicken is also a good source of phosphorus, iron, copper and zinc, and is rich in vitamin B12, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin K, etc. Compared with beef and pork, the lipids of chicken contain more unsaturated fatty acids - oleic acid (monounsaturated fatty acid) and linoleic acid (polyunsaturated fatty acid), which can reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol that is harmful to human health. Three Cup Chicken is a traditional famous dish in Jiangxi and belongs to the Yuanzhou cuisine of Gan cuisine. Because no soup is added when cooking, only one cup of rice wine, one cup of lard and one cup of soy sauce are used, hence the name Three Cup Chicken. This dish is red in color, authentic in taste, and has a mellow and attractive aroma. It is suitable for both wine and rice. Of course, everyone adds different amounts of ingredients during the cooking process, and the taste is also slightly different, but it is still delicious.
