Although I am looking forward to eating gourd chicken, besides cooking for half an hour, this dish also needs to be steamed for an hour or two later, the time is too long, Xu Zhuo really can't wait.
And the braised meat in our store is not the same style as gourd chicken, but it is definitely not inferior to gourd chicken.
Half an hour later, Feng Weiguo came to the cooking stove, turned off the fire on the stove, and lifted the lid of the pot.
Suddenly, a delicious chicken smell floated out of the pot.
The chicken in the pot has been thoroughly cooked, and the chicken skin has turned golden brown, which is very attractive.
There is also a thick layer of chicken oil floating on the chicken broth.
Although there are no seasonings or spices in this chicken, it still smells quite greedy.
Feng Weiguo carefully fished the chicken out of the pot. At this time, under the action of the hemp rope, the chicken belly had been taken in.
The two chicken thighs are shrunk and naturally curled up on both sides of the chicken body, making the lower part of the chicken look very round.
This shape is matched with the thin part in the middle that is strangled by the hemp rope, and the chicken breast and chicken wings are slightly swollen, and it really looks like a gourd.
This is probably the origin of the name of gourd chicken.
After Feng Weiguo fished out the chicken, he put it directly into a basin.
Then put pepper, star anise, cinnamon, geranium, fruit, nutmeg and other spices into the pot, and then add rock sugar, salt, light soy sauce, cooking wine and other condiments.
Then use a spoon to scoop in the original soup of the boiled chicken, covering the chicken body.
Then put a layer of plastic wrap on the mouth of the basin, put it in the steamer and start steaming.
Chapter 1086 Phlox Chicken?
Steaming allows the stewed soup to gradually soak into the chicken without destroying the original flavor of the chicken.
Xu Zhuo had made similar dishes before, so he wasn't surprised.
It takes two hours to steam the chicken, Xu Zhuo didn't wait in the store all the time, but left Sifang Restaurant and drove to the office building not far away.
Yuan Kang and the others are working here, Xu Zhuo intends to ask him to check the situation on the Internet.
Although it is a bit vulgar to add insult to injury, it depends on who it is used on.
If it is used on the Ge family who repeatedly rubbed their hearts, it would be perfect.
In the office, Yuan Kang was chatting with Li Hao about the company's future arrangements.
Seeing Xu Zhuo approaching, Yuan Kang immediately turned on the computer and began to explain the current situation of public opinion and the next steps to Xu Zhuo.
Xu Zhuo didn't care about this kind of intrigue at all. He came here to inspect the company and see how everyone feels working here.
As a result, Xu Zhuo found out that Yuan Kang had arranged work for him as well.
"Now the Ge family's behavior towards He Guoan has made many people very angry, so, as a celebrity in the industry, you have to speak out for the entire chef industry.
In this way, you can not only condemn the Ge family on a righteous basis, but also win the popularity of the public.After all, everyone is overwhelmed by the blessings of 996. Now that someone is calling for this matter, it will definitely set off a wave of enthusiasm.
And after this wave of craze started, the Ge family was the first to bear the brunt, because they were the leader of this matter, and no matter what they did now, they had to bear the anger of the public. "
Hearing this, Xu Zhuo asked Yuan Kang curiously: "Is this useful?"
Yuan Kang said with a smile: "Of course it is useful. At the time of the 996 Fubao incident, many people boycotted Ali. Although it didn't matter in the end, it was not useless, but because Ali was too big.
If Ali can stand still in the storm, can Geji Restaurant do it?
Just wait and see, let alone going public this time, it's hard to say whether they will close down or not.After all, there are not many people who give charcoal in the snow these days, but there are many people who make trouble.
The Ge family has been stepping on other restaurants in the capital for the past two years. Do you really think that the so-called Beijing Cuisine Association is monolithic?There will be times when they will make a fuss. "
Since he was so confident, Xu Zhuo didn't say anything more.
Everything can be arranged by Yuan Kang.
As for speaking out for the industry, Xu Zhuo took out his mobile phone and handed it to Yuan Kang: "You can just post on Weibo for me. I'm not very good at saying fake things."
Yuan Kang smiled, took the phone and said, "Then you have to treat me to dinner."
He was originally joking, but Xu Zhuo remembered Feng Weiguo's gourd chicken, so he said casually, "Okay, it happens that the shop is making gourd chicken, and when it's done, let's go back and eat together."
These words made Li Hao, who had no interest in chatting, "come alive" immediately: "What? Calabash chicken? Then I should eat more. I haven't eaten calabash chicken from my hometown for a long time. I dream about this bite." .”
Tsk, you never forget to eat.
Xu Zhuo just wanted to complain about him, but Yuan Kang also got excited: "What? Phlox chicken?"
Li Hao corrected him in standard Mandarin: "It's not Phlox chicken, it's gourd chicken."
Yuan Kang was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this Phlox Chicken?"
He has a typical Hunan accent, H and F are indistinguishable.
But Li Hao, as a native of Shaanxi, would not change the name of his hometown food.
He took a pen and wrote the three words Cucurbit Chicken on the paper: "Brother, read it again, is this Cucurbit Chicken or Phlox Chicken?"
"Chicken Phlok, what's the matter with you two?"
Xu Zhuo: ...
Li Hao: ...
For the first time, I felt that the territory of the motherland is too large, and the language cannot be unified.
Xu Zhuo didn't want to get entangled in this matter at first, but Yuan Kang's words made him feel very interesting. He took a pen and wrote down the words "Fu Lu Chicken" on the paper, and handed it to Yuan Kang.
As a result, Yuan Kang read out aloud: "Calabash chicken!"
These three loud words made Xu Zhuo and Li Hao completely give up the idea of correcting Yuan Kang's pronunciation.
Well, it sounds good to turn it this way.
Phlox chicken sounds better than gourd chicken, and for Chinese people who like to win prizes, using the name Phlox chicken may attract more customers.
But the only downside is that the word Fuluji sounds a bit similar to Fuliji, so if you hear it too much, you will always have unhealthy thoughts.
Forget it, don't want that anymore.
Xu Zhuo changed the topic, and drove Yuan Kang and Li Hao back to the restaurant to eat chicken.
After sending the two to the restaurant, Xu Zhuo didn't get out of the car, but drove home directly, picked up Yu Keke, Zhou Wen, Sun Panpan, and women's clothing boss Xiong Zai back to the shop.
Since eating gourd chicken, it is natural for everyone to have a good time.
Fortunately, when I bought chickens today, I felt that the chickens were small, so I bought a few more, otherwise it would be really not enough to eat.
When they came to the store, they asked a few girls to go upstairs with bear cubs in their arms, while Xu Zhuo went back to the kitchen and continued to observe the making of gourd chicken.
At this time, it had been steaming for nearly two hours, Feng Weiguo turned off the switch of the steaming cabinet and let the chicken stay in the steaming cabinet for a while longer.
After 10 minutes, he opened the steamer and took out the steamer pot inside.
After two hours of steaming, the chicken soup in the pot has a layer of golden fat on it, and the fat is wrapped in the dark stewed soup, which looks very attractive.
Feng Weiguo tore off the layer of plastic wrap on the pot, and immediately a pleasant smell wafted out of the pot.
The smell of the chicken and the marinated ingredients, it smells like the smell wafting from the door of the roast chicken shop.
Feng Weiguo carefully fished out the chickens in the pot and put them on the bamboo grate to control the water, and cut off the hemp ropes on the chickens one by one with scissors.
At this time, the action should be light, because the chicken is completely cooked and crispy at this time, and a little force will cause the chicken to break apart.
After cutting the hemp ropes one by one, Feng Weiguo took a toothpick and pierced the eyes of all the chickens.
The reason for this is that the eyes of the chicken are easy to burst open during frying, causing the hot oil to splash, so they should be opened in advance to avoid scalding accidents.
At this time, the chicken is still hot, and it cannot be fried directly in the pan. You need to wait for the temperature of the chicken to drop.
This can make the chicken a little firmer, and it will not break when fried. In addition, after the chicken is cooled down and then fried, it can fully stimulate the aroma of the chicken and make it more fragrant.
When the chicken was not hot, Feng Weiguo set up the frying pan and started frying the chicken.
The oil for fried gourd chicken must be hot, so that the chicken skin can be fried quickly without letting the chicken penetrate.
If the oil is not warm, the chicken will be saturated with fat and taste very greasy.
When the oil was about [-]% hot, Feng Weiguo carefully carried the chicken into the colander, ready to be fried.
Chapter 1087 Fried Chicken
Many dishes about chicken have steps of frying, such as roast chicken, grilled chicken, crispy whole chicken, etc.
But depending on the method, the time and duration of frying are also different.
For example, the frying of roasted and braised chicken is mainly for coloring, so the oil temperature does not need to be too high, and the frying time does not need to be too long. As long as the chicken body changes color, it can be removed.
The crispy whole chicken is to wrap the marinated whole chicken with fried flour or crispy paste, and fry it in an oil pan to mature. Therefore, the oil temperature should not be too high when it is put into the pan, so as to avoid the situation of being cooked on the outside and raw on the inside. .
When the chicken is almost cooked, raise the oil temperature or take it out and fry it again at high temperature, so that the skin becomes crispy and delicious, and the high-temperature hot oil can also fry the excess fat in the chicken body.
As for the gourd chicken fried now, it is different from these chickens.
Gourd chicken is a fully cooked chicken. When frying, you only need to crisp the outer skin, so the frying time must be short, so that the chicken skin becomes crispy in the shortest time.
This requires the oil temperature to be very high.
Even if the light oil temperature is not enough, the firepower on the stove must be strong enough, so as to avoid the situation where the oil temperature in the pot drops rapidly after the chicken is put into the pot.
After Feng Weiguo put the chicken into the colander, he put the chicken into the oil pan with the colander.
Wait until the chicken is gradually detached from the colander under the buoyancy of the hot oil, and then slowly pull out the colander from below.
"If you use a big pot to fry, just put the chicken upside down on the side of the pot, and slide the chicken back into the pot. But today's pot is too small to fry like that, so I can only use a colander to fry."
The cooked chicken cannot be put directly into the oil pan, because the oil temperature is too high, and the chicken will boil violently as soon as it is put in, which will easily make the chicken fall apart.
There is no such problem with a colander or by sliding the chicken back into the pot along the side of the pot.
The hot oil in the pot was boiling violently, Feng Weiguo took a spoon and carefully turned over the chicken in the pot.
When the color of the chicken changes from the brown color of the original soup to the date red, it means that the chicken is almost fried.
After all, it is high-temperature hot oil, and the fire on the stove is fully turned on, and the whole chicken can be fried in less than 1 minute.
Feng Weiguo took a colander and carefully scooped out the chicken in the pot, then took a bamboo strip net and put it on the oil pan, and put the chicken on it to control the oil.
Then, he put the other chickens into the oil pan and fried them again.
When frying chicken, one thing to pay attention to is that only one chicken can be placed in the pot at a time, so as to prevent the chickens from colliding back and forth in the pot under the action of hot oil, which will eventually cause the chicken to fall apart.
Carefully place the oil-controlled chicken on a plate. When placing it, pay attention that the belly of the chicken is facing up, not the back of the chicken.
This point must be distinguished, because it is related to the shape of the gourd chicken.
Facing the belly of the chicken can allow the chicken wings and legs to open naturally, making the shape closer to a gourd.
Of course, if you cook and eat at home, you can place them however you want, and you don't have to pay too much attention.
After setting it up, order two kinds of dry dishes, pepper salt and chili salt, and put them aside for easy dipping and eating.
After the gourd chicken was finished, Zhao Jinma unceremoniously tore off a chicken leg and started to eat it. He originally said that Feng Weiguo would do it after it was ready, but now he seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
Obviously, the gourd chicken made by Feng Weiguo convinced him very much.
But he certainly won't bow his head and admit defeat.
For example, now, while eating this delicious chicken, he said in an elder tone: "Not bad, Xiao Feng's cooking is really good, the skin is crispy, the chicken is tender, and it tastes very special."
Xiao Feng?
Feng Weiguo almost spat out old blood on his face.
This old thing is getting more and more shameless, but Zhao Jinma is older, several years older than Feng Weiguo, so strictly speaking, it is right to call him Xiao Feng.
It's better than calling Guoguo or Guoer.
He ignored the shameless old man, but picked out a few chickens and said to Xu Zhuo, "Little Zhuo, aren't they all waiting to eat? Hurry up and bring them here, this gourd chicken must be eaten while it's hot to be delicious."
Xu Zhuo was not polite to Feng Weiguo either, he called Guo Xingwang, and each of them carried two plates of chicken upstairs.
