Drunken Dish

Thursday, August 19, 2010 |  5:00-9:00 pm

San Francisco Asian Art Museum

One of the most famous culinary regions in China is Shanghai. Its rich Yangtze Delta is a lush garden for vegetables and fruit, and its cuisine is assertively flavored, expressing a flair characteristic of the city itself. Sumptuous, velvety meat and fish are braised with soy sauce, sugar, and a touch of vinegar – this treatment is a Shanghai specialty. Not to be overlooked in Shanghai’s gastronomic repertoire are “drunken dishes,” where food is marinated in wine. The museum has paired with the Asian Culinary Forum for a feature talk on Shanghai cuisine and a demonstration of making "drunken chicken." Savor signature Shanghai bites made with Shaoxing wine, toast with a drink from the cash bar, and tour the special exhibition.
