Stir Fried Glutinous Rice Wine Chicken

During my previous confinement I took a lot of glutinous rice wine chicken which was the more soupy version as my mom made her own glutinous rice wine then. This time, she did not have the time to do it herself so she ordered from a friend. The taste was not as good...

Anyway, in most confinement menu, glutinous rice wine chicken is one of the most common dish so that means we could never go without! Since the wine was not as tasty as before, my mom did the stir fried version instead which uses less of the wine.

  1. [...] Rice Wine: $1.99/25.4 oz bottle (none to be found at Key Foods) Rice wine is simply wine that’s made from fermented rice starch converted to sugars, as opposed to using grapes or other fruit. To make it all the more fun, it has 18-25 percent alcohol (beer’s at 3-8 percent), so it’s ideal for partying hard, though we suggest just using it for cooking purposes. Like red wine, it can be used as a marinade or base for a sauce, as shown in this recipe for Stir Fry Glutinous Rice Wine Chicken. [...]
