Food starts with noodles

He picked out the extra ingredients from the chicken, took another plate, and poured the chicken into it.

The task progress is updated again.

Just one dish away.

It's a pity that there is not enough time, so Xu Zhuo feels that his achievements have fallen short.

He sighed softly.

Put the prepared dishes on the tray.

The braised yellow chicken and net oil chicken rolls that have been cold are replaced with hot ones again.

Then he walked out of the kitchen carrying it.

It's very lively outside.

The waiters in the store were all wearing Christmas hats, and Li Hao even wore a Santa Claus suit, which was pushed out by Sun Panpan to attract customers.

Ma Zhiqiang and his wife have also come over.

He is also a person who likes to join in the fun, even if no one invites him today, he will come here.

Professor Yan and Lu Bo came to Sifang Pavilion for the first time, and they thought everything here was very interesting.

"Come on, your food is ready."

Xu Zhuo served the cooked chicken one by one.

Finally put the pot of chicken ball soup in the middle.

At this time, the countdown to the time-limited task is almost over.

In another 1 minute, this time-limited mission will be judged to have failed.

As a result, Ma Zhiqiang glanced at the dishes on the table, and asked Xu Zhuo curiously, "Where are chicken feet with pickled peppers? How can there be no chicken feet with pickled peppers in a whole chicken feast?"

Ok?

As soon as the waiter heard this, he immediately went to the refrigerator to fill a plate of chicken feet with pickled peppers and brought it to the table.

"Ding! The host has successfully completed the time-limited task and officially opened the overseas Chinese cuisine. The attraction of Sifang Restaurant to foreign friends has been greatly improved. Congratulations to the host."

"Ding! The host has successfully completed the time-limited task and officially obtained the D-level signature dish-Tso's Chicken. Congratulations to the host."

Wow!

Xu Zhuo really didn't expect that Ma Zhiqiang sent an assist at the last moment to complete this time-limited task.

However, the dish of pickled pepper and chicken feet is especially loved by customers who come to drink in the store.

This dish meets all the requirements of everyone's appetizers.

It is durable and tasty, and it won't take up much stomach after eating. You can eat as much staple food as you should.

And after drinking, take two bites of pickled pepper and chicken feet, the hot and sour taste can quickly calm down the heat in the stomach.

People who don't drink alcohol will never experience this kind of carefree feeling.

That's why Ma Zhiqiang, who likes to drink two cups of nothing, likes pickled pepper chicken feet very much.

"Lu Bo, hurry up and eat. Try the taste of my chicken. By the way, when you were abroad, did you often eat General Tso's chicken?"

Lu Bo nodded: "That's right, that dish is so interesting. Not only the overseas students in our country like it, but foreigners also like it very much. It's even more addictive than us."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, looked up at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Boss Xu, can you cook it? I always ate food made by foreigners at school, but I haven't eaten Chinese food made by our own people..."

Xu Zhuo smiled: "Then just wait, I'll try it out. After all, it's Chinese food, so I can't let foreigners compare."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhuo walked towards the kitchen, preparing to cook General Tso's chicken.

Chapter 533 Tso's Chicken

Zuo Zongtang's chicken has nothing to do with the historical celebrity Zuo Zongtang.

This was made by Peng Changgui, a famous chef of Baodao in 1952.

At that time, the guest was very satisfied with the meal and asked him what kind of dish it was.

Because Peng Changgui is from Hunan, he hoped that the name of the dish would be famous and have something to do with Hunan, so he named it casually: "Tso's Chicken".

As one of the four famous ministers of Wanqing Zhongxing, Zuo Zongtang would never have imagined that decades after his death, a fellow villager would actually name a dish after him.

What he didn't expect was that the dish named after him not only took root on the other side of the ocean.

It even beat competitors such as Kung Pao Chicken, Tomato Egg, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, and Mapo Tofu, and was selected as the most popular Chinese dish in the United States.

The recipe of this dish is not complicated.

Chinese food that can be learned by foreign chefs is not complicated at all.

However, there are many ingredients used in this dish.

In addition to chicken legs, there are dried chili, egg yolk, salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, rice vinegar, sugar, dry starch, water starch, minced ginger, minced garlic.Minced green onion and so on.

After Xu Zhuo prepared the ingredients, he began to make the legendary Tso's chicken.

Cut the chicken thighs off the bone first.

This step is the same as Kung Pao Chicken.

However, the pieces of Zuo Zongtang chicken are larger than the pieces of Kung Pao chicken, and it basically needs to be cut into square pieces.

This is more enjoyable to eat.

Once cut, place the meat in a bowl and start marinating.

Put some salt, some cooking wine, mix the chicken evenly and put it aside for marinating.

While marinating the chicken, Xu Zhuo adjusted the sauce to be used.

Take an empty bowl, put rice vinegar, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, minced green onion in order, and finally mix in water starch, stir well and set aside for later use.

When the chicken was marinated for about 10 minutes, Xu Zhuo put the egg yolk in and continued to mix it evenly so that all the meat pieces were covered with the egg yolk liquid.

The fried golden color makes people want to eat it just by looking at it.

Then heat the oil in a pan, wait for the oil to heat up, pour the dry starch into the chicken, stir it a little, so that every piece of chicken is covered with the dry starch.

Then put them into the pot one by one.

The starch should not be put in too early, as the fried chicken will not have a crispy texture.

When frying chicken nuggets, you can't put all the chicken nuggets in at once.

You have to throw them into the pot one by one, so that the fried chicken nuggets can be fried thoroughly.

And when frying, don’t put too many chicken nuggets at a time, so as to avoid the lower oil temperature in the pot due to too many chicken nuggets, which will affect the color and taste of the finished product.

In addition, when frying, try to use a large pot to fry, so that the oil temperature will be more constant, and the fried chicken nuggets will be more crispy and delicious.

When the chicken pieces in the pan were fried to a golden color, Xu Zhuo took them out to control the oil.

At the same time, pour out the oil in the pan, leaving the bottom oil.

Turn down the heat, then pour the chopped dried peppers into the pot and stir-fry.

After frying the aroma, pour in the prepared sauce and cook.

Under the action of heat, the sauce in the pot gradually becomes thicker.

At the same time, the fragrance began to waft out.

Continue to cook until the soup in the pot becomes thick and transparent, pour in the fried chicken pieces, stir fry quickly, so that every piece of chicken is covered by the soup.

Then, take it out of the pan and put it on a plate.

The whole production process is not complicated.

But the taste was perfect.

Moreover, the cooked dishes are golden in color, crispy on the outside, fresh and tender on the inside, and have a variety of flavors. They are sour, sweet, crisp, spicy, and delicious. They are truly the most popular Chinese dishes in the United States.

After Xu Zhuo brought it out, just smelling the taste made Lu Bo very greedy.

"Wow, this taste and smell is much better than those black chefs at school."

Xu Zhuo smiled: "It's Chinese food, we Chinese cook it authentically."

Lu Bo took a sip, and immediately gave a thumbs up: "Boss Xu's craftsmanship is really worth mentioning."

When Ma Zhiqiang heard this, he also took a piece and put it in his mouth.

The result was a little disappointing: "Isn't this just pot-packed meat? It's no different from pot-packed meat. Foreigners just like this kind of sweet food, and they don't get tired of it."

In his opinion, pickled peppers and chicken feet are still delicious.

Take two bites of chicken feet and take a sip of wine.

Then continue to eat chicken feet.

What he enjoys the most is to gnaw every small bone on the chicken feet with his teeth, and shave off the chicken and cartilage on it little by little.

This feeling is really super cool!

It was a bit busy at the moment, so Xu Zhuo greeted them and continued to work in the kitchen.

The little girl and Sun Panpan were already full from the salt-fried pork before, so they didn't have much interest in this whole chicken feast.

At this moment, a few people gathered together, discussing whether to go to the movies later, or find a bar to sit for a while.

For Christmas, you have to learn from others and go crazy.

Life is usually boring, and now I finally have an excuse to go crazy, so I can't miss it.

Sun Panpan is more literary and tends to go to the walnut to listen to music.

As for Yu Keke, he wanted to go to disco.

Zhou Wen would rather go to the midnight movie tonight.

As for Li Hao and Meng Liwei...

Do Men's Opinions Work?

The three argued endlessly and couldn't convince anyone, but they didn't want to separate and act alone.

Only when there are many people is it lively.

"Old Meng, where do you think we are going to play tonight?"

In the end, Yu Keke decided to find foreign aid, and voted with a show of hands, the more people the better.

Meng Liwei curled his lips helplessly: "As long as you're not with people like you who want to show affection when you have nothing to do, it doesn't matter where you go to play."

The little girl hurriedly urged him: "Let's go to the bar, you can choose from all kinds of beautiful girls, and you are a celebrity in the live broadcast circle anyway, maybe you can meet your fans. In this long night, there is a close fan Stay with me, tsk tsk..."

Meng Liwei was also a little moved by what he said.

As a result, Sun Panpan poured cold water on him: "What if we meet the legendary Wang Tiezhu?"

The smile on Meng Liwei's face froze immediately.

Recently, every time he broadcasts live, that Wang Tiezhu will jump out and say something to tease him, but the people in the live broadcast room like it very much, and that Wang Tiezhu often rewards him, so that Meng Liwei can't silence it even if he wants to, so he can only endure it like this with.

If it's a man, he'll admit it too.

But Wang Tiezhu is just like a man no matter his name or tone of speech.

Meng Liwei unconsciously began to get goosebumps when he thought of the name Wang Tiezhu.

"Forget it, there are dragons and snakes mixed in that kind of place, let's find a quiet place to listen to music and relax. After all, you have classes tomorrow, and Xu Zhuo has to get up early to work."

Meng Liwei was talking when he suddenly saw a message from Wang Tiezhu in the fan group.

"I'm going to listen to music in Hutaoli tonight, Serena Wei, do you want to go together, touch your butt while listening to music, just think about it..."

Meng Liwei: "..."

Damn, what a coincidence!
