Food starts with noodles

Although the gourd chicken is the main dish today, you can't just eat this, so there is actually a table of dishes in the private room at this moment.

When he opened the door and came in, Li Hao said to Yuan Kang with a smile: "Yuan Kang, the Phlox chicken you want, come and taste it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Xingwang, who came in with Xu Zhuo, was stunned: "Sufu chicken? This is gourd chicken, not fermented bean curd chicken. Our Anhui fermented bean curd chicken is not made like this."

Li Hao: "..."

Damn, how many homophonic names does this chicken have?

but……

Fermented bean curd chicken?

Li Hao, who likes to eat fermented bean curd meat, immediately became energetic: "Xingwang, is fermented bean curd chicken delicious?"

Guo Xingwang nodded: "It's not bad, it tastes good, I really like it."

"Then...is it easy to do?"

"It's easy to make. Chop up the chicken, pour some fermented bean curd into it, stir it, marinate it for half an hour, and then steam it in a pot. The method is super simple."

As soon as Li Hao heard it, he became even more excited. He frustrated his hands excitedly: "Then can you..."

Guo Xingwang said helplessly: "Although the method of fermented bean curd chicken is very simple, I don't know how to make it. If you want to eat it, you can ask Grandpa Zhao or Grandpa Feng downstairs. They may know how to make it."

If you don’t know what to do, what are you talking so much about?

Li Hao sat back on his seat weakly, but when he saw the gourd chicken in front of him, he immediately regained his energy.

Although you can't eat fermented bean curd chicken, it's not bad to be able to eat gourd chicken. After all, this is a hometown dish. I haven't eaten proper gourd chicken in half a year.

Instead of using chopsticks, Li Hao took out a small bag like an instant noodle seasoning packet from the drawer under the dining table, tore it open, and took out a pair of disposable gloves from inside.

After putting it on for himself, he tore off half a chicken and put it in front of himself. While dipping salt and pepper in it, he stuffed it into his mouth and muttered, "You have to do your hands to enjoy gourd chicken. The way you eat it with chopsticks is really too good." It's so gentle, I can't taste the essence of gourd chicken..."

Sun Panpan rolled his eyes at him: "Eat yours. If you are greedy, you will be greedy. Why do you have to find a bunch of nonsense for yourself? But this chicken is really delicious. Come off the bone, it's delicious."

The gourd chicken is really delicious. The skin is crispy and the chicken is tender. It tastes very boneless, but it is not sticky or rotten. It still has the unique chewiness of chicken.

And what is even more satisfying is that no matter which part tastes very tasty, but while tasty, it does not take away the deliciousness of the chicken itself.

Served with two kinds of salt and pepper, it is not to mention more enjoyable to eat.

When he first started making it, Feng Weiguo boasted that it was easy for one person to eat a chicken, but Xu Zhuo thought he was bragging.

Now it seems that eating a chicken for one person is really not a problem.

Because this chicken is so enjoyable to eat, the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it.

When Xu Zhuo ate the chicken in front of him until there was only one chicken frame left, he immediately made a decision:

newest!

Gourd chicken must be new in the store!

Such a delicious chicken has to be taken out to tempt others.

but……

What is the fermented bean curd chicken that Guo Xingwang just mentioned?

Or, go downstairs and ask Zhao Jinma and Feng Weiguo, if they know how to do it, let them have a try?

Chapter 1088 Fermented Chicken

When they came downstairs, Zhao Jinma was still arguing with Feng Weiguo in the back kitchen.

This Zhao Jinma is also interesting. Ever since he became the chairman of the Culinary Industry Federation, his face has become thicker and thicker.

For example, now, while eating the gourd chicken made by Feng Weiguo, he is ignoring Feng Weiguo's craftsmanship.

Seeing Xu Zhuo really wanted to ask him:

"Is this what people do?"

But thinking about Zhao Jinma's age, Xu Zhuo still held back.

Moreover, Zhao Jinma and Feng Weiguo have been in love and killed each other since they first met, and the two often quarrel and quarrel, which has become the norm.

Xu Zhuo was already familiar with it.

In order to let the two industry seniors establish correct values ​​in the back kitchen, Xu Zhuo coughed dryly and asked the two old people: "Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Feng, can you two make fermented bean curd chicken? Mouth, that sounds pretty good."

Fermented bean curd chicken?

Zhao Jinma and Feng Weiguo looked at each other, and said at the same time, "It's simple."

Just now Guo Xingwang said it was simple upstairs, but after he said it simple, he said he couldn't do it.

Now the two old men said it was simple, could they also be strong talkers?

Zhao Jinma continued: "It's really simple. This is a very homely dish in the south. There are many ways to do it, such as steaming, frying, stewing, stewing, etc. The main ingredients are basically chicken nuggets and fermented bean curd. Just a little bit different."

Hearing this tone, he should be able to do it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know such details.

In the end, Feng Weiguo continued: "Even if it's steaming, there are several ways. There are those who pour hot oil out of the pan to sauté, and those who decant the soup out of the pan and put it back into the pan to thicken the sauce. Which one do you want to learn?"

Yo, tit for tat!

Seeing Feng Weiguo stealing the show in front of him, Zhao Jinma pushed him unhappily: "Just now you have made gourd chicken, so it's my turn to make this fermented bean curd chicken?"

Feng Weiguo snorted coldly: "I'm just afraid that you will mislead my son."

Being hated by Zhao Jinma all the time, Feng Weiguo also learned to taunt.

However, the level of this ridicule is too low, and it is completely useless to the cheeky Zhao Jinma.

He smiled and said: "Don't worry, this fermented bean curd chicken is definitely better than your gourd chicken, do you dare to compare it with me?"

Feng Weiguo immediately froze: "Why don't you dare? You have the ability to try it once. I don't believe it can compare to my gourd chicken."

After finishing speaking, Feng Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Fall for the old thing!

Originally, he could compete for the chance to make fermented bean curd chicken, but Zhao Jinma proposed to compare with gourd chicken, and Feng Weiguo was excited and agreed.

But this promise gave Zhao Jinma the opportunity to make fermented bean curd chicken.

Now he regrets it a bit, but he can't turn his back on it like Zhao Jinma's thick-skinned, so he is a little annoyed.

Alas, in the end, honest people suffer.

You can't think too much about this kind of thing, because the more you think about it, the more you feel panicked.

For example, in this competition, so what if he wins?

There is neither a bet nor any practical benefits, and in the end, Zhao Jinma may take the opportunity to ridicule him.

Lost lost.

Feng Weiguo looked at Zhao Jinma and clenched his fists viciously.

Let him go first, and wait for Brother Xu to come back.

The two old men were angry like children, Xu Zhuo didn't know what to say.

Will it become like this when I get older?

What should I do if I suddenly feel afraid of the elderly?

Zhao Jinma didn't think too much about it. When Feng Weiguo agreed to the competition, he went to kill the chicken excitedly.

Well, Xu Zhuo bought a lot of live chickens, and there are a few left in the backyard just now, and he plans to kill them tomorrow.

But now it seems that these chickens will not survive tomorrow.

When Zhao Jinma was killing the chicken, Xu Zhuo also leaned over to help.

After all, I want to eat, so I can't just watch, and I have to help when I need to help.

When the two were killing the chicken, Zhao Jinma said: "To make this kind of steamed chicken, whether it is fermented bean curd chicken or soy sauce chicken, it must be killed freshly. Only freshly killed chicken will taste better when steamed."

Xu Zhuo nodded and wrote it down.

This time the chicken was killed faster than Feng Weiguo just now, because the fermented bean curd chicken is made of chicken nuggets, and there is no need to open the back, so it is faster.

After cleaning the chicken feathers and taking out all the internal organs, Zhao Jinma pulled out the glands in the chicken's neck and buttocks.

After that, he soaked the chicken in cold water to remove the blood.

Taking advantage of this time, he began to prepare the sauce for making fermented bean curd chicken.

In this dish of fermented bean curd chicken, fermented bean curd is used first.

There are many kinds of fermented bean curd all over the country, red, yellow, white, and even blue.

According to the different ingredients, the fermented bean curd is also different.

For the dish of fermented bean curd chicken, red fermented bean curd is the most suitable. This not only improves the taste of red fermented bean curd, but also can color the chicken and make the chicken rosy and attractive.

There is fermented bean curd in the back kitchen, and it is a large pot of fermented bean curd in clay pots.

Xu Zhuo and Zhao Jinma came to the warehouse and took out the jar of fermented bean curd. After opening the sealed lid, Zhao Jinma didn't take out the fermented bean curd immediately, but scooped a little with a spoon and tasted it.

Ok?

Is it worried about breaking it?

Zhao Jinma said: "When using fermented bean curd as seasoning, you must taste the taste first, because different manufacturers of fermented bean curd have different recipes and different ingredients. Slightly sweet.

Only after you have tasted it yourself, you will know how much you should put it into the seasoning later, otherwise, if you let it go, the dishes you make will fail. "

Zhao Jinma didn't say how to increase or decrease the amount of fermented bean curd according to the saltiness, and Xu Zhuo didn't ask either.

Because he is very clear that these can only be figured out and experienced by himself. Only by pondering and thinking more can he grasp the weight very accurately.

Other than that, there is no other way.

Some technical knowledge can be taught through precepts and deeds, but it is useless to say more about such fundamental things.

As one of the foundations of cooking, seasoning, like knife skills, requires hard work.

Only by doing more and more practice can we master the essentials and truly get started.

After tasting the fermented bean curd, Zhao Jinma took a spoon and scooped out several pieces of fermented bean curd and some soup.

This is also the skill of using fermented bean curd as a seasoning. Be sure to bring the original soup and stir the fermented bean curd with the original soup, so that the fragrance in the fermented bean curd can be completely released.

After finishing it, Xu Zhuo sealed the mouth of the jar and put it back in place again.

Back in the kitchen, Zhao Jinma took a small spoon, crushed all the fermented bean curd in the bowl, and then started stirring, so that the original soup of fermented bean curd and the crushed fermented bean curd were stirred into a thick soup.

Once it's done, it's time to season it.

Whether fermented bean curd chicken is good or not, the key lies in the preparation of the sauce...

Chapter 1089 Xu Zhuo's Unwilling Task

There are not many seasonings used to prepare fermented bean curd juice. Except for the common light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, salt, minced ginger, and minced garlic, the remaining seasoning is honey.

"Grandpa Zhao, why do you put honey?"

Xu Zhuo's question made Zhao Jinma's face full of smiles. There was no way, this kid was too talented, and he knew everything in the past, but now he finally met someone he didn't know, and it felt really good.

He was just about to answer this question, but Feng Weiguo who was next to him said, "Honey can neutralize the sauce flavor in fermented bean curd, and this neutralization will make the taste more delicious.

In addition, because fermented bean curd is fermented, it also contains essence, so cooking wine can be used less, or sweet rice wine can be used instead, and the effect is even better than ordinary cooking wine. "

Zhao Jinma was not happy.

He kicked Feng Weiguo straight, and was just about to fight back, but Feng Weiguo wandered away and started to teach Shi Lei to cook.

This behavior of shooting and running made Zhao Jinma very angry, but he couldn't say anything.
