Chapter 1135 "Subtraction" in Cantonese Cuisine
Generally, the sauce of the dish is to increase the taste, such as the fragrance, such as saltiness, such as umami, etc., all to make the taste more intense, so that the ingredients can appear more tender.
To achieve this, the sauce is usually concentrated to make the flavor stronger.
However, the sauce of soy sauce chicken is different, and the sauce of soy sauce chicken should dilute the flavor of soy sauce sauce, so that it can contrast the flavor of soy sauce in the chicken.
In other words, to make the chicken look delicious.
In addition, after pouring the sauce, the chicken can also be kept warm for a long time.
It's not cold, it's not hot, it's the most comfortable temperature when eating in an air-conditioned room.
Of course, Xu Zhuo's judgment that the soy sauce chicken will catch fire is not only because of this, but because the soy sauce chicken is warm and replenishes the qi, and if you eat too much, not only will it not catch fire, but it can also drive away the dampness and cold brought by the cold air of the air conditioner.
Whether in terms of taste or therapeutic effect, soy sauce chicken is especially suitable for eating in this season.
As long as it is accompanied by reasonable and proper publicity, it is difficult for this chicken not to become popular.
Now it is different from the past, in the past, when restaurants were advertised, they generally focused on affordability, good taste, novelty, etc., to attract those curious diners.
But now, no matter what kind of dish it is, even if it's braised pork, it has to be linked to health.
For example, our family's meat is a free-range black pig in the mountains, which only grows 100 catties a year, and the meat is firm and nutritious, and eating more is good for the body.
Many people hear that it is good for the body and eat healthy.
It doesn't matter what he does, no matter how much oil and sugar he uses, just order one and taste it first.
This can also be regarded as an addiction to eating braised pork in the name of health.
Not only braised pork, but also many high-calorie and fatty dishes that are fried repeatedly are now packaged as green and healthy dishes, and they are all rejuvenated.
So as long as Yuan Kang promotes it well, it is already a sure thing that the soy sauce chicken will become popular.
After all, compared to those dishes that are advertised under the banner of health, this soy sauce chicken is really good for health.
In this case, it is natural that many people will buy it.
It was almost time for dinner, so Xu Zhuo chopped all the chickens and put them on the plate, and then began to thicken the soy sauce chicken.
The method of thickening the soy sauce chicken is very simple, the soy sauce brine used for the braised chicken is paired with the same amount of clear chicken broth, and the thickening is done after boiling.
You don't need to put any condiments or spices to enhance your flavor.
All you need is soy sauce brine and an equal amount of chicken broth.
From this point, you can see the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine that is fresh and not light.
If it's a northern dish, not to mention adding spices such as pepper to thickening this step, you have to drizzle some scallion oil anyway.
But Cantonese cuisine does not, Cantonese cuisine pursues the ultimate simplicity and the original taste of the ingredients.
Northern cuisine, especially Shandong cuisine, is an addition when it is made, as long as the steps and ingredients of the dish are not tasted deviant, they will be used hard.
Cantonese cuisine, on the other hand, is subtraction, and all the practices and ingredients that affect the original taste of the ingredients are all subtracted.
This plus and minus reflects the different understandings of cooking between the two cuisines.
Xu Zhuo had no intention of evaluating the level of the cuisine, and he didn't think that addition or subtraction was better, but he just felt that cooking was really good as long as it tasted good.
To put it simply: it's delicious.
The soy sauce marinade and the chicken broth in the pot quickly boiled, and the color of the soy sauce juice looked much lighter because of the addition of the chicken broth.
But the umami flavor of the chicken comes to my nose.
Especially after boiling, the taste is simply intoxicating.
It's not just because of the aroma, it's because the flavor is just right.
The umami of the chicken, the sauce and sweetness of the soy sauce, and even the faint taste of brine all come together.
After boiling, Xu Zhuo poured the mixed sauce into the pot in a circle, and then stirred it a few times with a spoon.
When the soy sauce in the pot became thick, Xu Zhuo picked up the pot, walked to the cut chickens, and poured the soy sauce sauce in the pot on the chickens with a spoon.
After all the chickens were poured with juice, Xu Zhuo pinched a pinch of coriander and sprinkled it, and put some red pepper rings to garnish.
The soy sauce chicken is ready.
"Come on, come on, just eat just a meal!"
Guo Xingwang was the most excited, as he was deeply involved in this delicacy today.
The chicken was bought by him and Jianguo, and he slaughtered it, and even when it was marinated, he was always guarding it.
Although I didn't help anything, it was also tiring to keep pretending to be a passerby to show off and marvel or something.
Especially the smell of this chicken is so good, it makes him hungry for a long time.
Now he can finally let go, but he can eat hard.
Xu Zhuo not only made the soy sauce chicken, but also got the plating and everything right, this shape, this appearance, and this fragrance made Guan Junjie have the idea of being sorry for the boss if he can't be new.
After the food is served, the chef in the back kitchen and the waiter at the front desk start to eat dinner.
The theme of today's dinner is soy sauce chicken, in order to better publicize, Xu Zhuo also specially asked Yuan Kang, Li Hao and others to come over to eat, so that they can have a more intuitive understanding of this dish.
Yuan Kang said while eating: "With my understanding of the people of the Central Plains, this dish should be popular, because it is too much in line with everyone's demand for food during this time."
Li Hao, what do you say? Don't just eat and tell me what you think. ”
Li Hao had already finished eating a bowl of rice at this time, and he sighed: "This chicken is really delicious, very flavorful, but it has the chewy taste of chicken."
It is equivalent to dipping the white cut chicken in brine, and it is warm, it tastes really chewy, and the chicken replenishes the air, and I will get an article when I go back tonight.
Panpan, have you filmed well, come and eat after shooting!"
Now that it has entered the summer vacation, Sun Panpan naturally came to the company to start an internship.
She is a photographer, and the makeup photos of the dishes in the store are all operated by this girl, and the soy sauce chicken just made today naturally has to be taken well.
And you can't just take one, you have to shoot from multiple angles.
For example, using chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat covered with sauce, such as placing it with rice, is to stimulate people's appetite as much as possible.
It makes you want to eat it when you look at it.
After Xu Zhuo finished his own business, he also took a bowl of rice and sat down and began to eat.
He took a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth and bit it gently, and the aroma of soy sauce filled his mouth, and then the aroma and umami of the chicken also diffused.
The chicken is juicy, chewy, and tender, making it perfect for both wine and rice.
Eating this delicious chicken, Xu Zhuo even had a feeling that the practices of other chickens were very ordinary.
Of course, this is just a temporary illusion, there are countless dishes for making chicken in Chinese food, and he has not eaten it once until now, so he is not qualified to evaluate the quality of chicken.
Eating this delicious chicken and chatting about publicity, when Xu Zhuo got up to serve the rice after eating a bowl of rice, Li Hao suddenly looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Boss Xu, have you received Brother Cui's invitation?"
