The specific method is as follows,

First of all, you need to wash the whole chicken, then chop it into small pieces about one inch square, then put the chicken cut into pieces in boiling water and blanch it slightly, remove it, and wash it with warm water.

Remove the roots of lion's mane mushrooms, soak them, wash and slice them. After that, pour appropriate water into the pot, put in the chopped chicken pieces, astragalus, ginger slices, salty salt, remove the foam after boiling, and cook over low heat for about half an hour, then add lion's mane mushrooms and continue to simmer for two quarters of an hour, then drop in sesame oil and mix well, and put it in a bowl.

Next is the wine-stuffed jujube eggs.

Liquor, also known as glutinous rice sweet wine, Jiang rice wine, sweet wine, liquor, mash, the main raw material is glutinous rice, the brewing process is simple, the taste is sweet and mellow, and the ethanol content is very small, so it is deeply loved by people. In the preparation of some dishes, glutinous rice wine is also often used as an important seasoning, because it seeps into the boiling water, so it is also called "water wine".

Ancient sweet wines, whether made from fruits or grains, have the difference between the floating and turbid juices. The sweet wine produced in the Tang Dynasty still contains many impurities, and must be pressed and filtered when drinking.

Tang Libai's poem "Farewell to Jinling Wine Shop" has the sentence "The wind blows the willow flowers all over the store, and Wu Ji presses the wine to persuade the guests to taste", which is a proof.

Generally speaking, the glutinous rice wine brewed by the farmhouse is mellow and sweet, and less irritating; Drink the right amount of energy, which can relax the muscles and strengthen the body. Farmers must use this wine during festivals or when entertaining guests. The dregs left over from brewing, mixed with salt, are called "dregs". It is stored for long-term soup, and some people boil it with fresh fish, which tastes great.

To make this wine-brewed red date egg, the most basic thing is to make the wine well, and to make the wine well, it must be brewed in a strict brewing order.

The first is to choose the right ingredients, which are glutinous rice and sweet koji.

After that, the glutinous rice should be washed and then soaked for about six to eight hours until it can be crushed by hand.

Next is to steam the rice, put water in the steamer, put a white cloth on the steaming drawer, and boil the water until there is steam. Place the drained glutinous rice on a cloth and steam for about an hour. Taste it yourself and find out. Without this layer of cloth, the glutinous rice will block the hole in the steaming drawer, and it will not be steamed. There is a experience of failure in this. Taste the texture of glutinous rice, and if the rice is hard, sprinkle some water and mix it before steaming for a while.

Then the rice is poured over the rice, and the steamed glutinous rice is taken away from the steamer and cooled to room temperature. Occasionally flip with chopsticks to speed up cooling. Spread a clean white cloth on the table, spread the glutinous rice on top of it into a layer two or three inches thick, and let it cool through. Sprinkle a little cold boiled water on the cooled glutinous rice, and spread the glutinous rice evenly with your hands, using as little water as possible.

Finally, the pot is placed in an environment of about 30 degrees for 12 to 24 hours, if the rice becomes soft, it means that it has been saccharified; If there is water and the smell of wine, it means that there is alcohol and lactic acid, and the heat preservation can be stopped. It is better to steam it again to kill the microorganisms and enzymes in it and stop its activity. In this way, the dessert wine is successfully made.

However, it is important to note the following.

First of all, the koji must be mixed after the glutinous rice has cooled through. Otherwise, the hot glutinous rice kills the mold. The result is either sour and smelly, or it doesn't move.

Secondly, it must be tightly sealed. Otherwise, it will be sour and astringent.

Then, even if the temperature is low. Around 30 to 32 degrees Celsius is best.

Then, the key to making sake is to be clean, and everything must not be stained with raw water and oil, otherwise it will become moldy and hairy. Wash and dry the steamer, the spatula for shoveling rice, and the container for fermenting rice wine, as well as wash and dry your hands

Then, if the fermentation is excessive, the glutinous rice will be empty, full of water, and the flavor of the wine will be too strong.

Then, if the fermentation is insufficient, the glutinous rice has raw rice grains, teeth, insufficient sweetness, and insufficient sake flavor.

At the end, if you spill too much water, the glutinous rice will be empty and will not form a lump at the end, and it will fall apart as soon as it is cooked.

But if you want to make dessert wine and want to get a stronger flavor, then there are two ways:

First, extend the fermentation time of sweet wine appropriately, for example, you generally leave it for 12 hours at the specified temperature, and you can choose to extend it for some hours.

Second, put a little yeast when adding sweet wine koji during the production process, but the amount must be small.

Sweet wine is sweet and mellow, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive glands, increase appetite and help digestion. After brewing, glutinous rice is easier for the human body to absorb nutrients, and it is a good product for middle-aged and elderly people, pregnant women and weak people to replenish qi and nourish blood. Stewing meat in glutinous rice wine makes the meat more tender and easier to digest. Glutinous rice wine also has the effect of refreshing and relieving fatigue, quenching thirst and relieving heat, promoting blood circulation and moisturizing. It also has a certain effect on the following symptoms: unattractive complexion, self-sweating; or normal physical weakness, dizziness, yellowish complexion, lack of energy, weak stomach, clear stool and other symptoms.

For chills, blood stasis, lack of milk, rheumatoid arthritis, backache and numbness of hands and feet, it is better to drink hot. For neurasthenia, mental trance, depression and forgetfulness, it is better to add eggs and boil soup. Rice wine can help blood circulation, promote metabolism, and have the effects of nourishing blood and beauty, relaxing tendons and activating the body, strengthening the body and prolonging life. Maternal blood stasis, low back pain, numbness and tremor of hands and feet, rheumatoid arthritis, bruises, indigestion, anorexia and irritability, rapid heartbeat, physical weakness, loss of vitality, drowning of sperm, irregular menstruation, maternal milk deficiency and anemia and other diseases are very beneficial and curative.

Unconsciously, Jiang Jianghao actually recorded the production method of wine brewing completely, although there are now grain wine, fruit wine and other alcoholic drinks in this era, but for the sake of insurance, Jiang Jianghao still feels that it is better to write a separate copy, at least to get the person who cooks the recipe to know how the ingredients in the medicinal diet he uses are made, such as this wine stuffed red date eggs, the wine brewing here is the key!
