The first time I ate black pepper and smoothies was in the restaurant. The chef suggested that a lime litchi smoothie be sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper to try it. I compared the taste before and after adding pepper, and it was better after adding pepper. On the one hand, the taste experience is more abundant, on the other hand, the spiciness of black pepper makes the acidity of lime and the sweetness of litchi more clear and three-dimensional.

After that, when I eat sweet and sour smoothies in other restaurants, I always add a little freshly ground black pepper.

2. Sea salt ice cream

When making desserts, if you want to better set off the sweetness, you often add some salt. The same is true for adding high-quality sea salt to ice cream. Good sea salt can also bring more complex and interesting flavor to simple ice cream. For better sea salt, you can try the French flower of salt. Even if you buy a boxed ice cream home, it can become more exquisite and delicious.

3, star anise cinnamon clove lemon brown sugar red wine

This wine is usually drunk at Christmas in foreign countries. But I think it is delicious and warm, and it is a delicious drink in winter. The method is very simple. A bottle of 750ml red wine, 100ml water, an star anise, a small piece of cinnamon, two or three cloves, half a lemon and a tablespoon of brown sugar are thrown into the pot together, and the fire is reduced to low heat for one hour after two minutes, without cover. Finally, filter out the seasoning and let it cool down and you can drink it.

4. Red onion with chicken

This is a common collocation in Taiwan Province. The English name of red onion is shallot, which often appears in western food and some Cantonese dishes. There are three ways to do red onion.

One is raw red onion, add soy sauce, and then dip it in white-cut chicken. The slightly spicy red onion with white-cut chicken is really amazing.

One is fried chicken with scallion, which is spread on chicken with red onion, steamed directly, and finally drenched with hot oil and soy sauce. Compared with boiled chicken, the spicy taste is gone, but the aroma is different.
