[Three kinds of fragrant lees]: The most popular side dishes to go with wine
Overview
This cooking technique seems to be unique to the Jiangnan region. Zaolu is made from Zao juice and spicy seasonings. Zaozhi is extracted from aged lees, so it has a rich flavor and a salty taste. Zaolu has a wide range of uses, including steaming, stewing, dipping and stir-frying, and is suitable for both meat and vegetable dishes. When used to make meat dishes, it can not only remove the fishy smell of the ingredients themselves, but also better enhance the flavor. When used in vegetarian dishes, the rich aroma of the marinade itself can add a lot of color to the vegetables. My favorite way to use it is to make cold dishes. First of all, the method is simple, just blanch the ingredients and then soak them to taste. Secondly, of course it tastes good. From chicken and duck gizzards to edamame and peanuts, no matter what the ingredient is, after being processed like this, it will be very popular with the family! This time I made a small platter, using ingredients such as chicken feet, chicken gizzards and edamame (in fact, I later added peanuts, dried tofu, and shrimp). The uncles who come to our house for dinner all love this dish. They say it’s great to eat with wine~~ In fact, I also love it because it has my beloved claws~~
