Why use beer instead of white wine? Because beer is cheaper than white wine, and wine should not enter the meat, and the degree of white wine is too high. Maybe some alcohol that can't volatilize in time will penetrate into the meat, which will affect the taste of the meat and produce many different functions and aromas. In western food, beer is also widely used in cooking. For example, it is especially suitable for water ducks with tight meat quality. When cooking beer ducks, bitter gourd fried ducks and other dishes, use beer instead of water to stew duck meat, and the duck meat will be soft and rotten.
There are quite a few dishes made with beer, such as stewed fish, chicken wings, and the seafood beer pot in Figure 1, which is highly recommended. The smell of beer and malt is very unique. Different kinds of wine have different ingredients. When we cook at home, for example, chickens, ducks, geese, beef and mutton can all be added with beer. When you add beer, you can put less oil, which makes it more fragrant.
A small amount can be added in the process of cooking soup, which can improve the flavor of soup, for example, stewed fish, beef and various salty soups. When making fatter meat or fatty fish, adding a glass of beer can also eliminate the greasy taste and make it refreshing. In the cooking process, many seasonings are added to flavor and remove fishy smell, such as ginger, garlic, pepper, etc. The fishy smell removal effect is very good, but it is more delicious after adding beer. The alcohol contained in beer can dissolve the substances that can remove the fishy smell of dishes, thus achieving a better fishy smell removal effect.
