Wine and food go hand in hand! Sautéed clam meat with dried radish and peanuts

After tasting this dish of fried clam meat at the "Lettuce Club", I was deeply attracted by its unique flavor. The tender clam meat is wrapped with salty and fragrant dried radish, the green and red peppers add spiciness, and the crispy peanuts are the finishing touch. The flavors are layered and it goes well with rice or wine. I went home and tried it repeatedly to adjust the delicious taste I remember. It is even better when rolled with lettuce, which is refreshing and rich.

Homemade glutinous rice wine (super juicy)

Jiuniang tastes sweet and mellow, with a soft texture, rich rice aroma and elegant wine aroma. It can be eaten in a variety of ways, both hot and cold, to meet the needs of different taste buds: Refreshing cold drink: Eat it after chilling, it is refreshing and greasy, and it is an excellent choice for cooling off in summer. 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. After being stored for more than 1 month, the wine flavor will be more rich and mellow. At this time, Jiuniang is especially suitable for cooking with eggs and glutinous rice balls. The dessert cooked out is full of wine aroma, rich taste, warm body and stomach. Drinking taboos: Although fermented glutinous rice is delicious, it contains a certain amount of alcohol. Therefore, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, people who are allergic to alcohol and children should not consume it.

Chicken rice

This "Chicken Thigh Rice" marinates boneless chicken thighs with scallion, ginger, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar and a little oil, then puts them into a pot with washed rice, adds water to cover the rice, and cooks them in one click. The rice absorbs the sauce and chicken aroma, and each grain has a warm, salty and sweet taste. 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.
