Steamed Chicken with D.O.M Liquor
I always have a bottle of DOM liquor at home thanks to my mum. She told me that D.O.M wine is very nutritious, improves general well being and helps one to sleep better. Perhaps she saw that I am perpetually tired from keeping late nights (playing games! haha). The problem is, I am never a fan of hard liquor so I barely touched it.

And then I discovered cooking with D.O.M instead of drinking it neat. This steamed D.O.M chicken was the perfect solution for me. Not only was the chicken aromatic and tender, the D.O.M liquor became delicious after cooking – no more sharp alcohol taste, and instead, the soup had a pleasant sweet wine taste. I did not even need to add any salt after cooking, even though all I used was D.O.M and plain water. I was told that I had rosy cheeks after consuming this dish weekly for some time.
This recipe requires only 3 ingredients for the marinade – namely D.O.M, ginger juice and sesame oil. Try out this dish when you are feeling tired, and needed a homely, nutritious food boost.

good to see this delicious dish. i still have half a bottle of DOM sitting on the shelf for not-sure-how-long already! shall put it to good use.
First comment! Woo-hoo!
This was very interesting to read, as I’ve never heard of it. Looking over your past many blog entries, I can say you will have no problem with looking young as you age, because you eat healthier and more natural then anyone I know!
Photos are lovely too! :XO:
I eat lots of junkie stuff too … just that I didn’t post them here, haha :D You are so funny :)
I’m sold on this too. I have two bottles of DOM because my grandma said it is good for me but I rarely use it unless I am soaking some raisins for fruit cake.
Oh can use DOM to soak raisins? I thought people usually use rum, I’ll try it out next time :halo:
Darn! My comment was posted too late. Oh well, I tried. :|
Wow, this is definitely a cure for people like me – dry, dizzy, weak, cold. Everything bao kar liao in one bowl, how nice could it be:lol:
Yup, I’m also on the “weak” side and find that my I am less weak after consuming it. Yeah, it’s almost a one-dish-meal, just got to cook some rice to go with it :wink:
Wow, didn’t know this is anti-aging too! Now I need to cook more with my DOM. Your pictures are beautifully taken!
I’ve never had DOM, but I can certainly agree that consuming wine increases my general sense of well being. :D
The soup sounds great too.
A little bit of wine in moderation is definitely good for the health :up:
This sounds like a great dish. The dates, wolfberries, and mushrooms sound delicious in this.
ohhhh i want youthfullness and health also…ps. will this get me drunk? hehehe
I don’t think so …. unless you have it together with a tall glass of DOM on the rocks? :lol:
i carted 2 bottles of dom from singapore in may for my pregnant sister.
my mom will be cooking the same steam chicken dish after my sister give birth. apparently its good to keep the new mom’s body warm and helps produce lots of milk.
now this sounds like good confinement food for new moms as well, hehe :P
