Food starts with noodles

In fact, not only was he tired of eating cocoa, but the rest of the family also lost their appetite.

But during the Chinese New Year this year, the temperature is a bit high, and the prepared ingredients will go bad if you don’t eat them quickly, so even if you have enough, you have to eat with your nose.

At this time, the old man usually came out to top the tank, because he ordered all the New Year's goods prepared at home, and bought tens of catties of meat.

Originally, I thought that there were about ten people in the two families, plus Wei Junming and his wife, there must be more New Year's goods for so many people.

But now there are all leftovers. Although they are eating every meal, everyone would rather make up kimchi for the count than eat the dishes prepared for the New Year. It is really...

After playing a game, Xu Zhuo got up from the sofa and said, "Today, I will make a new dish that you have never tried before, Guizhou Spicy Chicken, and improve our food."

After speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and called Jianguo, asking him to bring over two big butchered roosters.

"Guizhou spicy chicken? Is it different from the Sichuan spicy chicken?"

Yu Keke was very curious. She liked spicy chicken, but she couldn't stand the spicy taste, so she didn't dare to eat it these days.

The old man smiled and said: "Guizhou spicy chicken is really good, but if you want to eat spicy chicken, it's better to eat Zaozhuang directly. Guizhou also uses glutinous rice cake chili, you may not be used to it..."

Just as he was talking, he noticed that the old lady was looking over here, and quickly changed his tone: "But you can try it if you want, Xiao Zhuo, I will leave today's lunch to you."

Soon, Jianguo drove over two slaughtered roosters, and brought some fresh vegetables by the way.

Mr. Charles has become more and more decent as his status has risen.

After sending him away, Xu Zhuo washed his hands and went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Guizhou spicy chicken is subdivided into different genres such as Guiyang spicy chicken and Zunyi spicy chicken according to different cooking methods and tastes.

The biggest difference between Guizhou Spicy Chicken and Geleshan Spicy Chicken is that Guizhou’s unique chili peppers are used in the production process.

The taste of this kind of chili is not so strong, but it is full of fragrance. It is the perfect partner with the crispy and oily chicken.

Soaking the two roosters in water to remove the blood, Xu Zhuo took this opportunity to make Ciba chili first.

Glutinous rice cake chili is almost a kind of seasoning unique to Guizhou. The reason for making it is that the chili in Guizhou area was too hot and dry, and it was too easy to get angry after eating.

Here, I have to talk about the difference between Sichuan and Guizhou. The Sichuan region belongs to the basin, and the climate is cold and humid all year round. The locals eat a lot of chili peppers in order to get rid of dampness.

However, Guizhou belongs to the plateau area and is a typical subtropical plateau monsoon area. The temperature is generally low, and it is easy to get angry when eating too spicy chili, so there is the emergence of Ciba chili.

Ciba chili uses hot water to remove the spicy taste of chili, making the chili fragrant but not strong, with a soft and long-lasting spicy taste, and it is not easy to get angry if you eat too much.

In addition, the difference between the two places is that Sichuan people think that chili pepper is everything, but Guizhou people regard wine as life.

In the face of the cold, Sichuan people will choose to eat hot pot, boiled fish, and all kinds of spicy and sweaty dishes, while Guizhou people will just silently take out the wine bottle and take a big gulp.

There are two types of chili peppers used to make glutinous rice cakes. The original ones are Zunyi peppers and Chaotian peppers from Guizhou, but they are not available at home at the moment, and they are not easy to buy, so Xu Zhuo used Sichuan Qixing peppers and Hunan Chaotian peppers instead.

Of these two kinds of peppers, one was brought by Wei Junming when he came, and the other was sent over 100 catties from Hunan by Yuan Desheng when he heard that Xu Zhuo was sitting on spicy chicken.

At that time, the old man still hated it in various ways, but he put it in a plastic bag and took it home.

Boil a pot of water, put the two kinds of dried chili into it and cook on low heat for ten minutes.

Of course, you can also cook for a longer time, the longer the time, the lower the spiciness, and the shorter the time, the higher the spiciness.

It is said that the local people in Guizhou just soak it in hot water, and it is not boiled at all.

But the people who ate today, the Yu family will not talk about it. They live in Yangzhou, where they don’t know what spicy is. Although the Xu family is better, they are still at the level of slightly spicy in the eyes of Sichuan people, so Xu Zhuo is still honest. Cook in a pot.

Well, such a thing as eating spicy food can't be pretended by being brave. It will really drive people crazy if it exceeds the tolerance.

After the chili was boiled in the pot for about ten minutes, Xu Zhuo took it out with a colander, put it in a basket to drain the water, cut it a few times with a knife and put it in the garlic mortar, then added a few cloves of garlic and a piece of ginger, sprinkled a small Spoon of table salt.

Then use a garlic pestle to mash it into a paste, and it becomes the glutinous rice cake pepper that Guizhou people never forget.

After the chili was ready, dig it out and put it in a bowl for later use, then Xu Zhuo took out the soaked rooster in the bowl and began to chop it into pieces.

The chicken nuggets used to make Guizhou spicy chicken are about two centimeters square, which is similar to the nuggets of Zaozhuang spicy chicken.

It can't be too big, the taste will not be soaked if it is too big, but if it is too small, it will look too broken, without the charm of Guizhou spicy chicken.

Unlike the Geleshan spicy chicken, which picks diced meat from the chili pile, Guizhou spicy chicken is really meat-based.

After the chicken pieces are chopped, put them in a basin and start to marinate.

Put a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of pepper, a few grains of Chinese prickly ash, two spoonfuls of cooking wine, sliced ​​green onion and ginger in the pot, and then pour in a little sweet distiller's grains.

After stirring well, pour in some cooking oil and sprinkle a small handful of dry starch.

The purpose of putting sweet distiller's grains is to increase the color. After this stuff is cooked in hot oil, the color of the meat will be redder and brighter, and it will look more attractive.

As for the dry starch, it is also to lock the moisture in the meat and make the meat taste crispy.

After everything was done, Xu Zhuo was about to go out to rest for a while, only to find that Xiong Zai was sneaking aside, staring straight at the pot of bacon.

"Meow~"

Seeing that Xu Zhuo found him, the fat cat hurried over to rub Xu Zhuo's trouser leg.

This……

Xu Zhuo smiled helplessly, then squeezed out a few pieces of skinless chicken of moderate size from a small bowl next to the bacon basin, walked out of the kitchen, bent down and put them into the cat bowl that Xiongzai used for eating.

"This is the chicken thigh meat reserved for you. Try it if you like it. If you like it, I will get you more in the future."

Xu Zhuo wiped his hands, rubbed Xiong Zai's head and sat on the sofa, quietly watching this guy eat raw meat.

Recently, Xu Zhuo has checked the advantages and disadvantages of feeding cats raw meat. For carnivores, eating raw meat is fundamental, but the problem of parasites has to be considered.

So whether to feed him or not, Xu Zhuo is not sure, it depends on Xiong Zai's acceptance of raw meat and his body's reaction.

If you have diarrhea and loose stools after eating, then get rid of this idea as soon as possible, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

But if there is no discomfort, and it still likes to eat, then increase the amount of raw meat step by step, and let it adapt slowly.

A few pieces of chicken were quickly eaten up by the cat. After eating, it licked the bowl earnestly, and then barked at Xu Zhuo, as if it still hadn't finished.

"I'll feed you in the afternoon, there's only so much in the morning."

Xiong Zai seemed to understand it, and stopped asking for it. Instead, he jumped onto the sofa, lay quietly beside Xu Zhuo, and snored softly.

The chicken nuggets were marinated for about 10 minutes, Xu Zhuo got up from the sofa and started cooking.

The two chickens are a lot, so Xu Zhuo deliberately changed to a big pot to cook them.

Heat the pan, pour oil into it, slide the pan and pour it out, and pour cold oil again.

In this step, more oil should be poured, so that the chicken pieces can lock the moisture just after they are put into the pan, so as to prevent the moisture in the meat from being released.

The oil was [-]% hot, and Xu Zhuo poured the chicken pieces into the pot.

Then use a spoon to keep turning it so that the chicken is heated more evenly and avoid uneven raw and cooked.

In fact, this step is very similar to the home version of the spicy chicken that Wei Junming taught Xu Zhuo. They use the frying method to first fry the chicken pieces in oil, and the next step is not until the chicken is cooked.

Because of the sweet distiller's grains, shortly after the chicken nuggets are put into the pot, they have a ruddy color. At first, the color is relatively light, but as the frying time increases, the color becomes more and more ruddy.

When the chicken is fried until the color is red and dry, it can be out of the pan.

Xu Zhuo took out all the chicken pieces in the pot with a colander, and put them in a stainless steel basket to drain the oil.

Pour out the oil in the pan first, then clean up the oil residue at the bottom of the pan, then re-slide the pan, add two tablespoons of oil for frying chicken nuggets, and then add a spoonful of lard.

The purpose of putting lard is mainly to increase the flavor, but due to the improvement of cost and health concept, many places do not put lard now.

If it wasn't for testing the level of this D-level dish today, Xu Zhuo would have saved this big spoonful of lard.

Soon, the oil in the pot melted, and when the oil was [-]% hot, he turned off the heat, and then poured the glutinous rice cake chili peppers that he had made before into the pot.

Stir the peppers with a spoon, and slowly fry the aroma.

Don't be in a hurry at this step, only slow frying on low heat can fully stimulate the aroma of peppers.

As the glutinous rice cake chili was put into the pot, the kitchen door was soon full of people.

There is no way, the spicy taste and fragrance are too tempting for the two families who have lost their appetites. Yu Keke, who has been arguing about dieting and losing weight, even wants to dip a steamed bun into the pot right now. Chili to eat.

When the color of the peppers in the pot started to darken, it meant that the peppers had been fried. Xu Zhuo scooped a little bean paste into it, and then quickly slid it away with a spoon.

Adding bean paste is mainly to increase the color, so it should not be too much, so as not to make the chicken salty.

After frying the red oil, Xu Zhuo poured the chicken pieces into it, then poured in a bowl of water, and kept flipping it with a spoon.

One of the most prominent characteristics of Guizhou spicy chicken is its moistness. If it is made dry, it means it is not good enough.

Adding water and simmering slightly can not only allow the spicy taste to penetrate into the chicken, but also make the chicken nuggets stand out.

And at this time, adding a bowl of water to the pot can quickly cool down the peppers and avoid frying.

Taking advantage of the soup in the pot, Xu Zhuo began to season it.

Pour some light soy sauce for flavor enhancement, sprinkle a little white sugar for freshness, and the taste is adjusted.

When the soup in the pot boiled dry and only the red oil remained, Xu Zhuo put in the garlic sprouts, stir-fried a few more times, and then put it on a plate!

"Wow! It's so delicious, I want to eat three big bowls today, who, all, no, Xu, stop, say!"

After Yu Keke, the expert in weight loss, sighed, he leaned over to Xu Zhuo's side happily, and started to shoot with his mobile phone.

Well, before eating, I have to post a wave in Moments to prove that I didn’t eat leftovers from the Spring Festival today...

Chapter 938

Two large plates of spicy chicken were placed on the table, and next to them were leftover dishes such as crispy pork and braised pork that had not been eaten, and two stir-fried vegetables. The Xu family's lunch began like this.

Guizhou spicy chicken is different from Zaozhuang spicy chicken and Geleshan spicy chicken.

Zaozhuang spicy chicken is actually fried chicken. After eating the leftover soup from the chicken, you can also mix rice and noodles, which is very similar to Dapan chicken.

The Geleshan spicy chicken is a typical fried chicken style. The chicken is dry and fragrant, and there are more peppers than chicken, giving people the feeling of looking for diced chicken in a pile of peppers.

Guizhou spicy chicken has both the spicyness of Geleshan spicy chicken and the moistness of Zaozhuang spicy chicken. On the basis of these two kinds of spicy chicken, it also has its own characteristics and advantages.

The whole dish is ruddy in color and has a tangy aroma. It tastes crispy and glutinous, full of moisture, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth, so pleasant.

The taste of spicy chicken whetted everyone's appetite, and almost everyone had the highest appetite since the first day of the new year.

But after dinner...

The whole family was almost full, so after a short rest, the two old ladies went out for a walk in the nearby park together.

As for Chen Guifang and Pang Lihua, they took Yu Keke to go shopping. As the weather got warmer, spring clothes had to be arranged, and they couldn't wait until they needed to wear them.

After the women left, the old man and Yu Peiyong planned to go to Zhao Jinma for tea, while Xu Wenhai took Yu Changjiang to chat with Xie Hailong.

Wei Junming and Yao Meixiang had returned to Linping City two days ago, so Xu Zhuo and Xiong Zai were left at home in an instant.

One person, one meow staring at each other awkwardly, Xu Zhuo actually wanted to go to the store, but if he took Xiong Zai with him, he was worried that it would arouse the disgust of customers.

After all, not everyone likes pets. To do business, you must take care of everyone's emotions. Otherwise, any trivial matter will trigger a chain reaction and cause losses.

Since you can't go to the store, you have to find a way to find something else to do. You can't stare at a cat, right?

Holding his mobile phone, he rummaged through the method of feeding cats with raw flesh and blood.

Raw flesh and blood feeding refers to feeding with raw meat and raw bones as the main food. Among the various pet feeding methods, raw flesh and blood should be regarded as a feeding method at the top of the pyramid.

As we all know, cats are carnivores, and after thousands of years of evolution, the cat's stomach can only digest meat food, so in cat feeding, many methods are actually wrong.

For example, when feeding grains such as rice and noodles, cats will indeed eat them when they have to, but it does not mean that this feeding method is correct. The reason why many cats are as fat as piglets is the fat accumulation caused by eating too much grains .

For example, bear cubs used to eat cat food. Although it was imported and there were all kinds of meat in the ingredient list, cats eat this stuff just like people eat biscuits. .

The most common ones are various urinary diseases caused by drinking too little water, as well as hair loss and soft stools caused by cat food problems. These are all cat food.

In addition, the cat's stomach can only absorb animal protein, but many cat foods add vegetable protein in order to save costs.

After cats eat this kind of cat food, they can’t meet their own nutritional needs, so they will increase their food intake. This is why many cat owners say that their cats eat about ten catties of cat food a month.

If cats eat too much, it will increase the burden on the stomach and kidneys, and it will also cause fat accumulation, which will pose a great hidden danger to health.

However, relatively speaking, cat food is the most labor-saving and efficient feeding method. You can also use the machine to set up automatic feeding. Many office workers and students use this method to feed cats.

What is better than cat food is various canned staple foods, which contain a lot of cooked meat and soup, which can not only supplement the animal protein needed by cats, but also replenish water well.

And there are many types of canned staple food, such as venison, chicken, beef, deep-sea fish, etc., all kinds of meat can be fed together, which can supplement very comprehensive nutrition for cats.

Feeding canned staple food is good, but it has several obvious disadvantages.

First of all, it is expensive. Even if you eat mid-level canned staple food, the cost is almost the same as that of top-level cat food, so don’t consider this if you don’t have an economic foundation.
