Cooking with Wine and Beer
-
I want to experiment with preparing Beer curry soup and want to cook Wine Flavored Fried Rice. As my knowledge of beer and Wine is close to nothing. I throw this question to CPians who are expert in beer and wine. What kind of beer (brand) will make a good beer soup? (As per Shog, I should use Killians but other suggestions are also welcome) What kind of wine will be good for flavoring fried rice?
My recommendations : Beer -> Bud Light Wine -> Any Chardonnay

Wine Flavored Fried Rice? What sort of abomination is that?!? :|;P ok never mind I see you said "experiment". I thought it was yet another popular butchery of chinese cuisine.

I've seen some Japanese restaurants where Vodka is used in preparing meat :-) I bet they add other types of alcohol too.

It appears that everybody is under the impression that I approve of the documentation. You probably also blame Ken Burns for supporting slavery.

Those two are my favorite beer and wine (as of now). I've never used alcohol in cooking. I've never cooked much to be precise. I haven't seen Smitha use alcohol when she cooks either. But from a taste perspective, those two would be very good. I don't know how that would affect the taste of the resulting food.

Beer-> something hoppy, like Sam Adams - or like Shog said. Forget the Bud Light - it's like trying to make love in a canoe, as the joke goes. Wine-> for fried rice? I would think a white, maybe a Riesling or Gewurtztraminer, something with a bit of zest.

It's the only American beer that didn't temporarily make me feel as if I was 7 years old and was being forced to gulp down awful tasting cough syrup.

Beer: something strong Wine: something cheap, dry Beer is hard to recommend - I know only some local brands. Somethign with a strong hops taste As for wine - depends on the "direction of addenda". If you go towards fish / seafood, white and dry. Chicken and similar goes with both, dark meat with red. If you use a strong rice (like "wild" rice), use white wine.

Ah... you should try some better ones. My current favorites: Rogue American Amber[^] Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale[^] The first is fairly light and refreshing, great for relaxing on a hot day; the second is heavier and sweet - a good breakfast beer. Not that i drink at breakfast... :~ ;)

For beer something with a nice strong full flavor. Forget any light domestic beers. A nice ale would be good. Wine Flavored Fried Rice. I'd assume that you'd want a Mirin[^] or a Sake[^]. It would be really strange to have that with a grape wine. The recipe should specify rice wine. Also don't skimp out on the quality of the soy sauce it makes a big difference.

Thanks, I'll see if they are available here and give them a try. I am not much of a beer guy, and nowadays I don't drink much. But last week, at a friend's place we had Glenfiddich and it was awesome :-)

I haven't had an alcohol enhanced breakfast in years. The last time was when I was just out of college.

Sake is widely referred to in English as "rice wine". However, this designation is not accurate. The production of alcoholic beverages by multiple fermentation is more characteristic of beer than wine.
So I believe any other rice beer will also work well.

"Fill it up again! Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it's so good!" - Frank the Tank (Old School)Heh. :) Killians is a bit flat tasting, but isn't too bad if you let it warm up a bit. Bud Select is ok, but it's the sort of ok that i'm used to paying bottom-dollar for - like this stuff[^] (City Brewery is the former Heilmans Old Style brewery, from back when Heilmans was still Heilmans...)
