Cold eating: My favorite caramel ice powder Jiuniang glutinous rice balls, ice milk Jiuniang, ice Jiuniang coffee, etc., I love the feeling of slight smoke~~~ Hot food: The heated Jiuniang is warm and nourishing, suitable for eating in cold weather or when you need to warm up (such as brown sugar Jiuniang eggs, Jiuniang dumplings, etc.). Storage: It is recommended to store it in the refrigerator, and the shelf life can reach 1 month. In the low temperature environment of the refrigerator, Jiuniang will continue to ferment slowly.

The chicken is tender and juicy; the fragrance of scallion and ginger is looming in the heat, adding layers. The whole thing is done in one pot, saving time and effort, and full of homely flavor, but you need to reserve about half an hour for marinating, and the ratio of water and marinade must be properly controlled to avoid the rice being too wet or the chicken being too salty/slightly dry.

Homemade slow-cooked fragrant brine

I really can't eat the braised dishes sold outside. I tried a Chaoshan bagged marinade that was popular on the Internet before, but the greasy smell was too strong when it was cooked, and I couldn't get used to it. It seems that you can't be lazy when making braised food. It's still more reliable to carefully prepare a pot of marinade yourself. After each braising, carefully filter out impurities, boil it, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator for the next time. Why does the old braising become more fragrant as it is braised? First, the protein, amino acids, and fat of the ingredients will melt into the sauce during the braising process, and the flavor of the spices will be released repeatedly. Under the interaction, the taste becomes more and more intense and the layers are richer; second, the more times the braising is done, the spicy aroma of the spices in the marinade and the umami flavor of the ingredients will gradually balance and stabilize, and the braised food will naturally be more mellow. You should also pay attention to the storage of the old braising: filter and boil it for sterilization after each braising, seal it well and refrigerate or freeze it. It is recommended to use it within 1-2 weeks, and it is best to boil it again once a week for sterilization to prevent deterioration.

Fresh and sweet lotus root, peanut, and squid soup

Dried squid is rich in high-quality protein and minerals such as calcium and iron, which can supplement essential amino acids for the body; lotus root is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and enhance immunity; peanuts provide plant protein and unsaturated fatty acids, and the nutrients are fully released after boiling. The protein, dietary fiber, and various minerals in the soup work synergistically to nourish the spleen and replenish the deficiency while moisturizing the skin. It is a healthy and nutritious soup with both inner beauty and taste. Tips: If you want to save time and retain the taste, it is more convenient to use a pressure cooker! Compared with slow cooking, high-pressure stewing can make the ingredients release the freshness faster, and lotus root pieces and peanuts can be quickly cooked to be soft and glutinous, and the purine content is even lower, so it is more burden-free to drink~
