Taiwanese Sesame Chicken Soup


I have quite a collection of Taiwanese recipes on this blog. Seasonings such as soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, ginger, chili peppers, cilantro and basil are very common. My Taiwanese friend made an interesting soup dish which requires a fair amount of sesame oil and rice wine. The quantities here are readjustable, especially the soup alcohol content.

  2. This looks simple and I wouldnt add or subtract from this - chicken and ginger are probably one of the best flavor combinations out there.
