Chapter 431: Salt-fried Chicken [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
For the old man's speaking style, Feng Weiguo is used to it.
Mock is ridicule, your own craftsmanship is indeed inferior to others.
At the same time, Feng Weiguo didn't think about using salt to fry mutton to make other meats.
But each time it ended in failure.
Especially the chicken, Feng Weiguo originally thought that the salt-fried chicken should taste very good.
Because the chicken has a high moisture content, it has no peculiar smell.
And the chicken has a very delicious taste.
If done properly, it can bring out the best in this flavor.
In Cantonese cuisine, soy sauce chicken, white chopped chicken, and salt-baked chicken are all cooked with the simplest cooking methods to bring out the umami substances in the chicken.
Theoretically, salt-frying chicken is definitely possible.
But Feng Weiguo did it several times without success, so he broke off this idea.
I didn't expect Brother Xu to make it, and it was perfect regardless of taste or color.
After the old man lifted the lid of the pot, the back kitchen was full of the umami of chicken.
The chicken in the pot has yellow skin, ruddy chicken, and white green onions in the middle.
It hooks people's appetite at once.
After the old man took the chicken out of the pot with a basin, Feng Weiguo hurriedly took a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Wow, this tastes delicious!"
After tasting the taste of chicken, Feng Weiguo admired it even more.
The chicken is smooth and tender, with a moderate amount of saltiness, and the key is that the umami in the chicken is thoroughly stimulated.
Just eat a small piece and your mouth will be filled with delicious taste.
This chicken is a bit like salt-baked chicken, but it tastes better than salt-baked chicken.
Especially the handful of green onions sprinkled when it is about to come out of the pot, it is simply the finishing touch.
Overall, the dish tastes beautiful.
Xu Zhuo leaned over and took a look: "It's a bit like the yellow stewed chicken of Lu Cai." ”
When he was in college, Xu Zhuo didn't eat less yellow braised chicken rice.
So when I saw this kind of yellow and clear chicken nuggets, I couldn't help but think of his college career.
But after tasting a piece, Xu Zhuo immediately put away his opinion.
This dish just looks like braised chicken.
The taste is much better than that of braised chicken.
Tender and tender, the taste is delicious and delicious.
The taste is on par with Cantonese salt-baked chicken.
Just now, Xu Zhuo was complacent because he had mastered the technique of salt frying.
As a result, the old man watched Feng Weiguo make salt-fried mutton again, and actually created salt-fried chicken.
This talent......
No wonder I don't like myself.
And this is still an old age.
When I was young, maybe I was more hanging, than the hero of food.
"Grandpa, how do you make it so delicious?"
"Yes, Brother Xu, I've done it before, but it doesn't taste as good as this, how did you do it?"
Xu Zhuo and Feng Weiguo were very curious about this salt-fried chicken dish made by the old man.
However, Xu Zhuo was curious about how he could make this dish so delicious with just a handful of salt.
And Feng Weiguo is more interested in what method can be used to make chicken taste like this.
He'd tried it a few times before.
But the taste of the chicken is indescribably weird.
Before, he suspected that it was the chicken's problem.
But if you think about it carefully, what he used in Datong in the past was a free-range chicken raised in the mountains, which was better in quality than the firewood rooster that the old man caught from the vegetable market.
But why can't you catch up with the taste of what others make?
The old man tasted it and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also a little apprehensive when he did it.
I didn't expect it to succeed once.
What a bonus.
Putting down the chopsticks, the old man looked at Feng Weiguo and asked, "How does the taste of what you used to make?"
Feng Weiguo smiled bitterly: "The steps are similar to what you do, but the taste is different from what you do, the one I made always feels a little fishy." ”
The old man asked, "Have you cut off the butt and head?"
"What's the point of that?"
Feng Weiguo was a little confused.
It makes sense to cut off the chicken butt, after all, there are many glands on the chicken butt, and it is easy to produce a fishy smell when cooking.
When he used to cook chicken, he liked to cut off the chicken butt and throw it away.
But the chicken head doesn't smell bad, so why cut it off?
Feng Weiguo took the chopsticks and pulled the chicken made by the old man.
It was found that there were chicken nuggets with skin inside, no chicken head and chicken buttocks, and not even chicken necks.
What's going on?
Don't you usually cook with chicken heads, chicken necks and chicken butts?
Why did Brother Xu pick it out?
Feng Weiguo didn't understand it a little.
"Brother Xu, what's going on?"
The old man didn't sell it, and patiently explained to him.
Chicken butt is a good explanation, chicken butt contains a large number of glands, and there will be a slight fishy smell when cooking.
Usually when cooking, there are a lot of seasonings, so they usually don't attract attention.
Can't even smell it at all.
But when you do it with salt, this problem becomes a big problem.
Because this method is not pressed with spices, and there is no way to open the pot to emit steam.
The fishy smell of the chicken butt will always be stuffy in the pan, so that the meat in the pot will be stained with this smell.
Feng Weiguo's chicken has a strange taste, which is the reason.
As for the chicken head and neck, it is better not to use it simply because the whole piece of the chicken head is not easy to mature, and if it is cut, it is faster than the chicken piece.
And there are a large number of lymph nodes in the neck of chickens, which is not good for the human body.
So simply remove both the head and neck.
This also prevents the head and neck from affecting the aesthetics of the dish.
After the old man explained, Feng Weiguo smacked his lips in disbelief: "It's so simple?"
The old man smiled: "Another point, before cooking, soak the chicken pieces in cold water to remove the blood, so that the color of the dish will be better." ”
After saying that, he called a few cooks to come and try it, and promised that he would teach him how to make this salt-fried chicken dish when he had time in the future.
But not yet, this dish still needs to be improved.
He wanted to keep improving.
"Grandpa Feng, do you think it's really so easy to make chicken so well?"
Feng Weiguo shook his head: "There must be other steps, but since your grandfather doesn't want to say it, don't ask, hurry up and get to work, the students who deliver food will arrive soon, and you can't delay the children's meal." ”
Next, Xu Zhuo and Feng Weiguo began to work together on the takeaway.
The Four Wings were running like a static and sophisticated machine.
Boxes of takeaway were taken away by the students, and after they were delivered, the store had accumulated a lot.
They were so busy delivering food that they didn't even bother to drink saliva.
But the income has increased steadily, and now it is four or five thousand yuan a month.
For those who have money, this is nothing at all.
But for these poor college students who deliver food, these thousands of yuan can completely improve their lives.
