This appears on the menu as Chicken with Ginger &#038; Basil but the Chinese characters, \u4e09\u676f\u96de, are the giveaway. A Taiwanese classic, theoretically made using one cup of soy sauce, one cup of sesame oil, and one cup of rice wine, but usually tweaked a bit and fleshed out with additional ingredients including garlic, ginger, and in this case, basil. Good eats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9724-edited.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9724-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9724-edited.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9724-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9724-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9724-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9724-edited-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a>Ji Vegetable and Pork with Rice Cake.
