It's March, and it's time to eat bamboo shoots again. Spring shoots are different from bamboo shoots (winter shoots) before spring, and spring shoots are delicate and delicious. If you miss this season, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for next year.
Su Dongpo once wrote: "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo." No meat makes people thin, no bamboo makes people vulgar. Later generations of foodies added two sentences: "If you want to be good and not thin, you must eat bamboo shoots and roast meat every day." Well, Chef Huang thinks it makes a lot of sense.
What I share with the chefs today is a three-cup chicken that can be good and not thin in the spring. The dish of three cups of chicken originated from Jiangxi, but it is well known as a "famous dish in Taiwan". What exactly is "three cups"? "Three cups" refers to a cup of sesame oil, a glass of rice wine, and a glass of soy sauce. There is no need to add water during the production process, only rely on the oil in the ingredients, spices and chicken wings to simmer, the freshness of the spring shoots plus the aroma of the nine-story tower will make people feel like flying...

❶
Cut the spring shoots into pieces, blanch in a pot and set aside after 2 minutes. Divide the chicken wings in two and set aside.

After the chicken wings are slightly yellowed on both sides, add garlic cloves and spring shoots and continue to sauté. Pour in rice wine and soy sauce, add an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce, stir-fry evenly.
Pour in the remaining sesame oil, add rock sugar and stir-fry until the rock sugar melts. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

When the soup is thick, turn off the heat immediately after placing it in the nine-story tower. Stir in the nine-story tower and cook.
TIPS
● Spring shoot blanching water can remove the oxalic acid in the bamboo shoots, and can also remove the astringency in the bamboo shoots
● Try to use Taiwanese rice wine as much as possible. Taiwanese rice wine is different from mainland rice wine, the color is clearer, and the wine taste is stronger. If you can't buy it, you can replace it with Cantonese rice wine
● One of the three cups of chicken "oil" is best made of black sesame oil or flax oil. Black sesame oil is made from black sesame seeds and flax oil is pressed from flaxseed. Flax oil is more expensive, but more nutritious
● The nine-story tower is actually a close relative of basil, and plays a role in the dish of Titian. You can't buy a nine-story tower, you can replace it with basil
● Pour three cups of spices in, add rock sugar to boil, turn the heat to low and simmer, the whole process does not need to add water or paste the pot
