In the midsummer season, it is stuffy and hot. I always feel like I am alone and have no appetite for anything. Guangxi people prefer sour food, Hunan, Jiangxi and other places like spicy food, but we Jiangnan people only love bad food, that is, dishes with bad marinade.

What is bad food? Du Niang has: Fragrant lees, which is a fragrant lees extracted from aged distiller’s grains using scientific methods, and then mixed with spicy sauce to make fragrant lees.

So, what are the advantages of Zaolu? And why is it so attractive?

First of all, glutinous rice is rich in carbohydrates, proteins, B vitamins, minerals, etc., which are indispensable nutrients for the human body. Regular consumption of glutinous rice can promote gastrointestinal motility, and has the effects of stimulating the stomach, appetizing, digesting and regulating the intestines and stomach.

Summers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are long and sultry, with high temperatures of over 40 degrees, which makes people lose the motivation to cook. At this time, as long as there is a bottle of bad marinade at home, everything will be fine.

Among summer home-cooked dishes, the easiest thing to make is bad edamame. Wash the edamame, add water to boil, add salt and aniseed, and when the pot is boiling, add a little bit of marinade, and the edamame pods will be completely different when they come out of the pot. The green edamame pods seem to be even greener. The beans are soft, waxy, and sweet. The addition of braised edamame can completely remove the bean flavor of the edamame, leaving only the fresh fragrance and refreshing taste.

Not only can it be added to boiled vegetables, but it can also be added to stir-fry dishes. For example, bad bean sprouts. Wash the soybean sprouts, remove the roots, heat oil over high heat, stir-fry, add minced garlic, and when the pot is on, pour a little bit of marinade. The originally ordinary bean sprouts suddenly felt high-end. The garlic aroma is mixed with the bad aroma, which is crisp and delicious, with a faint aroma of wine.

Secondly, mature glutinous rice contains 2.105% ethanol, so it has a certain preservation effect.

Many people like to eat chicken feet, but it is very easy to change the taste. So, you might as well try adding the glutinous rice flour.

Clean the chicken feet, blanch them in boiling water, then add onions, ginger and aniseed and cook together. After about 20 minutes, take it out and soak it in cold water for 10 minutes.

Add water again and cook until you like it, boil the pot, let it cool, add the marinade, put it in the refrigerator overnight, and you can eat it the next day. The marinade has a light aroma of wine, which removes all the smell of chicken feet, leaving only the freshness and fragrance. The chilled chicken feet are delicious, crispy and not greasy at all. When drinking beer in the summer, pair it with a plate of marinated chicken feet, which is refreshing and cool, ensuring you can cool down and relieve the heat.

If you make a lot at one time, keep it in the refrigerator so you can eat it again tomorrow. The meat dishes that originally could only be kept in the refrigerator for two days were added with marinated vegetables and kept for 3-4 days, and there was no big problem.

The difference between spicy food and food is like that between women and perfume. Perhaps, every woman has a small smell of her own. Perfume can cover up all the smell of fireworks in a woman, making her graceful and charming. Elegance, show off. At the same time, bad braised food is like a skin care product for women. After the washing of time, every woman will age. By using skin care products, she can withstand the ruthless destruction of time and prolong her beauty.

On a hot summer day, if you walk on the streets of Suzhou, you can find bad braised food in large delicatessens in supermarkets or small braised vegetable stalls in the streets.

Zaolu is just an ordinary condiment, but it is favored by the public, which shows its extraordinary charm. If you happen to like it, you might as well buy some to try, or make a bowl of bad taste yourself.
