Foochow Red Rice Wine Mee Sua Soup 福州红糟酒面线

Special Thanks to my blogger friend May who brought me this Foochow red rice wine and Mee Sua (thin and salted rice noodles), so we have a chance to try this authentic Foochow Ang Jiu Mee Sua at home. Foochow peoples especially like to cook this Ang Jiu Mee Sua during confinement time (after delivered baby) . And every Foochow grandmother also know how to make this red rice wine at home.

 The Foochow red rice wine was homemade by May's mother and Mee Sua was bought from May's hometown Sitiawan ( a place mostly Foochow peoples) .

 When I was cooking this soup, the nice ginger and sesame aroma remind me of my confinement time !!

 

Oh, this was delicious ~ even my kids also enjoyed it!
