Jiangxi Rice Wine Lees Cooking
Jiangxi Province — traditional rice wine production dates back over 2,000 years
Jiuзао (rice wine lees) cooking: the fermented solids remaining after distilling Jiangxi rice wine are used as a flavouring agent in braises, marinades, and steamed dishes. Adds complex fermented sweetness and depth. Jiangxi's rice wine lees tradition parallels Fujian's use of hong zao (red lees).
