Cantonese Old Cucumber Soup 老黄瓜煲猪骨汤

(Drunken Chicken Wing) 天气炎热，最适合吃凉凉的醉鸡翅。 平日我滴酒不沾，但是，我喜欢用酒做菜，做蛋糕甜点。不同的酒，有不同的香味，自然，也为佳肴增添别致的风味。说起醉鸡，我认为最理想的就是用一整只鸡来烹调。第二理想的就是鸡翅膀或鸡后腿(连骨）。 很多人为了方便，也或者为了美观，选择用鸡腿肉。把鸡腿肉卷起来，蒸熟后在腌制。腌好后切成一片片，煞是美观。但是，这样的做法我认为成品很难达到嫩滑的口感。如果腌料里面有盐，就会令到鸡肉更粗，失去了醉鸡应有的口感，吃一口就立刻清醒过来。 醉鸡的味道很清新，所以腌制之前清理的步骤相当的重要。我会用少量的八角，花椒，丁香，加上绍兴酒来去味。这样，才能很明确的把酒味带出来。 BRINE Water 500g Fish sauce 100g Soy sauce 10g Red date 5pcs Goji 20pcs Rose wine 75g XO Cognac 30g Remove seeds from red dates.
