Characteristics of three cups of chicken dishes
Three cups of chicken is a traditional dish in Ningdu, Jiangxi. Its origin is related to the national hero Wen Tianxiang, and it is a classic production of talented people. Three cups of chicken is a dish with bright red color, strong sauce flavor and original flavor.

Three cups of chicken spread to Taiwan Province province. People in Taiwan Province Province made a small modification to it, replacing greasy lard with light edible oil, and adding a unique spice-nine-story pagoda.

This special seasoning is actually basil commonly used in western food, which is widely grown in tropical areas and has a particularly strong fragrance. In Taiwan Province Province, the nine-story pagoda is a widely used spice. There is a saying in rural Taiwan Province: Nine-story pagoda, thyme.

It is said that there used to be a hostess in Taiwan Province Province. Because her family was poor, she had to kill her old hen to entertain guests. Because she was afraid that the chicken was not fragrant enough, she took the nine-story tower dragon in the yard as the material. The nine-story tower really made three cups of chicken more fragrant and delicious. In fact, this nine-story tower is not only an indispensable material for making three cups of chicken on the table, but also can be used to cook seafood such as clams. There are simple and delicious scrambled eggs in Taiwan Province's home-cooked dishes.
