Recipes with 1 tablespoon of cooking wine
Appetizer, sweet and sour
The tender tofu lies in the white porcelain bowl, like jade soaked in a spring stream, trembling and shaking with fine waves when touched by fingertips. The aroma of soybeans exposed to the summer sun is hidden in the texture. A sip is as refreshing as autumn dew, and swallowing it is as sweet as the melting water of winter snow floating in the throat. With a light pinch of chopsticks, it turns into half a pool of clouds, mixed with the green of chopped green onions, as if the four seasons are crushed and gently fed into the mouth
Freshly made takoyaki are perfectly round, with a crispy, caramelized exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Each bite bursts with crunchy squid tentacles and succulent shrimp, coated in a rich, sweet and savory teriyaki sauce and smooth, creamy mayonnaise. The bonito flakes tremble gently in the steam. You just can't stop eating them! Recently, my little one asked, "I haven't had takoyaki in ages!" Usually, a box only has six pieces, and I'm always counting them carefully. But at home, I can have takoyaki freedom! Half a pound of flour makes 24 pieces—enough to satisfy everyone! Watching my little one proudly showing off the plate, face covered in sauce, this mom thinks: This cooking skill is off the charts!
This Hakka Yellow Wine Chicken is characterized by its tender and juicy chicken, which falls off the bone with a gentle touch. The alcohol has mostly evaporated during the slow simmering process, leaving only a mellow aroma that blends perfectly with the chicken's freshness, the sweetness of the red dates, and the warm fragrance of angelica root—not at all overpowering. Every bite is comforting, warming you from the tip of your tongue all the way to your stomach. It belongs to the classic Hakka nourishing dish in Cantonese cuisine. It's not a grand banquet dish, but rather the comforting taste of home. In Hakka regions, families often stew a pot of this for women during postpartum confinement, menstruation, or when the weather cools down in autumn and winter, to warm the body and replenish blood.
The golden and shiny fragrant egg is wrapped in a rich sauce and stir-fried with tender diced pork belly. The fragrance of the egg wraps the mellowness of the meat, and the slight burnt aroma makes people drool. Every bite has the smoothness of the egg and the chewyness of the meat, salty, fresh and slightly spicy, perfect with rice
Typhoon Shelter Style Fried Shrimp. Flavor and Texture: Primarily garlicky and savory, with a hint of spiciness from chili peppers. The shrimp shells are crispy, while the meat is tender. The "Typhoon Shelter seasoning," made from deep-fried garlic, is intensely fragrant. Origin of the Name: "Typhoon Shelter" originally referred to the harbors in Hong Kong where ships sought shelter from typhoons. Local fishermen spread the method of stir-frying seafood with garlic, fermented black beans, and other seasonings, gradually developing this classic dish.
