Keto Taiwanese Three Cup Chicken (San Bei Ji)
A classic Taiwanese dish made keto-friendly by replacing sugar with erythritol and using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Rich, savory, and aromatic.
Ingredients
- about 680 g Chicken Thighs
- 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 5.08 cm Ginger
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 3 stalks Green Onions
- 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
- 1 tbsp Erythritol
- 1/4 cup Rice Wine (Shaoxing)
- 2 tbsp Chicken Broth
- 1/4 cup Basil

Instructions
- 1Cut the about 680 g Chicken Thighs into 2.54 cm pieces.
- 2Heat the 2 tbsp Sesame Oil in a 30.48 cm skillet or wok over medium-high heat, which is about 190°C.
- 3Add the 5.08 cm Ginger, sliced thinly, and the 6 cloves Garlic, minced. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until you can smell their fragrance.
- 4Add the cut chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- 5Pour in the 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos, 1 tbsp Erythritol, and 1/4 cup Rice Wine. Stir everything together and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
- 6Add the 2 tbsp Chicken Broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
- 7Stir in the 3 stalks Green Onions, cut into 2.54 cm pieces, and the 1/4 cup Basil leaves. Cook for 1 more minute until the green onions are slightly softened and the basil is fragrant.
