        Sesame oil chicken with rice wine is a very traditional food in Taiwan, especially during the winter time or after women gave birth because sesame oil and ginger are good for healing. My mother, grandmothers, and aunts usually cook it for us because it is very healthy and prevents colds. Before I came to Canada, I thought it was difficult to cook, but actually I was wrong. Once at our Chinese New Year party, Claire, one of the Taiwanese students, taught me how to cook this dish, so I want to introduce it to you.

        The basic and most important thing is that you need to prepare some ingredients which you can buy from Superstore. These ingredients are as blew: one small bottle of sesame oil, three big bottles of rice wine or cooking wine, one box of chicken legs or one whole chicken, and one piece of ginger root the size of your palm. You first need to slice the ginger root, and you can use more ginger root if you like a more gingery taste. Cook the sesame oil chicken with rice wine by following these steps.

        Next, you just need to use a big pot and put the sesame oil in the pot. When the sesame oil becomes warm, you put all of the ginger in the pot and fry it. You can smell the fragrance of sesame oil and these slices of ginger root. Second, you put the chicken legs in the pot and fry them. When the chicken legs turn a little golden, you pour in the three bottles of cooking wine. Third, when it is boiling, you can reduce the heat, but you need to keep it boiling until the meat is tender and the alcohol evaporates, and then you can enjoy this dish, sesame oil chicken with rice wine.

        Basically, this dish is one kind of chicken soup, so you can add rice noodles or bean noodles which are made from green beans and peas. It is a very easy meal, but you will feel warm when you finish it. During the winter time, I especially miss this dish. Fortunately, I learned to make this dish because of Claire, but unfortunately, I could not bring the sample for everybody because it is expensive to buy these ingredients in Canada. I hope that you are able to make this sesame oil chicken with rice wine because it is very easy and delicious.
