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?
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.

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... :~ ;)

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.

Yeah if you want to get pedantic about it then I suppose. However then end product has much more in common with wine then it does with beer. Sake doesn't have any CO2 for example, and it has much more of a wine like flavor then a beer like flavor. Also, Budweiser is made from rice, so that really deserves the moniker rice beer.

I usually go for mushrooms and earthiness with fried rice, though some green garlic instead of scallions would be a good variation. I've also had some with pineapple that was surprisingly tasty. Though the best stuff usually results from clearing out the fridge after a few beers. Maybe that's what the recipe is all about. Finish off a bottle of sake and then throw together some fried rice.

The cold Canadian weather has erased most of his natural Aussie good taste for beer. :-)

I always get a kick out of walking down the beer aisle in the local fancy supermarket and seeing leinie specialty beers back when I was growing up that was always the lowest of the low. PBR was a step up from that.
