Chapter 1036: Champion Whole Chicken Dumplings [Asking for Votes]
Hearing this reward, Xu Zhuo was a little puzzled.
He gave his phone to Yuan Kang two or three hours ago, and the reward was not triggered at that time, why was it triggered now?
Could it be that he must have used his mobile phone to post Weibo?
No matter, anyway, leave this matter to him to deal with, Xu Zhuo is very relieved.
Although this is only the difference between direct social death and indirect social death, Boss Xu, an ostrich expert, would rather choose the latter.
Well, as long as it's not a direct social death, Boss Xu doesn't mind anything.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo let out a sigh of relief and focused on this champion whole chicken dumpling.
There are a lot of zongzi called champion zongzi all over the country, because zongzi and the middle homonym, the champion zongzi and the champion sound very similar, so take this name, is to Bo a color head.
However, the champion dumplings in various places cannot be compared with the champion chicken dumplings in terms of size and temperament.
It's not even a single one when you add it all together.
There's no way, in terms of temperament, the whole chicken dumplings are so good.
Let's not talk about the head, just wrap the zongzi with banana leaves, and you can turn the country's champion zongzi into slag in seconds.
Unlike the common triangular zongzi, the champion zongzi is square.
It is boxy, like a pillow, so some places also call this kind of zongzi pillow zongzi.
However, no matter what the name is, the delicacy of the champion whole chicken dumplings will not be unknown in the zongzi world.
Taking advantage of the approaching Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Zhuo felt that he could make this delicacy and try it, even if it was for everyone to try it.
When it is time for the Dragon Boat Festival, make a correct zongzi again to return to the tradition and satisfy Yuan Kang's wishes.
After all, having come all the way from Changsha to the Central Plains, such a homegrown person really needs food comfort.
And compared with the northerners, the Jingchu region really attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is really a big festival for them.
Dragon boat racing in the provincial capital can't be realized, but eating zongzi can still satisfy this employee who is worth millions.
There are all the ingredients in the store, Xu Zhuo cleaned up and began to prepare the ingredients for making whole chicken dumplings.
This rice dumpling is big and requires a lot of ingredients.
There are mainly whole chicken, pork belly, bacon, sausages, chestnuts, mung beans, red beans, red dates, dried shrimp, peanuts, etc.
In fact, there is nothing particular about the ingredients, as long as there is whole chicken and glutinous rice.
The pork belly sausages and other things are all stuffed into the belly of the chicken, so that the chicken can be propped up and will not be strangled by the dumpling leaves.
Originally, Xu Zhuo planned to find some banana leaves in the provincial capital.
But the banana trees in the provincial capital seem to belong to green plants, and if you rush to skim the leaves, you will be beaten, and it is too silly to buy green plants to take banana leaves.
So Xu Zhuo pondered for a long time and decided to make it with zongzi leaves.
It's affordable and easy to purchase.
What's more, it's not so shocking.
However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the whole chicken dumplings cannot be wrapped perfectly, because the dumpling leaves are too small to wrap the huge size of the whole chicken dumplings.
You can only make do with a few more layers.
But if you do this, the whole zongzi will look crumpled, without the temperament of Guangxi's champion whole chicken zongzi and the handsomeness of seeing the mountains at a glance.
This is somewhat regrettable for Xu Zhuo.
However, this zongzi is generally for oneself to try, but there is no need to deliberately pursue appearance, as long as the zongzi is delicious.
The delicious dish of Zhuangyuan Whole Chicken Dumplings is not only large in size and uses a lot of ingredients, but it is also very time-consuming to actually make.
First of all, it is necessary to soak the glutinous rice for ten hours, and only when it is thoroughly soaked in water, the glutinous rice will taste more fragrant and soft, and more delicious.
In addition, the mung beans, red beans and peanuts to be used also need to be soaked, only when they are soft and soaked thoroughly, the zongzi made can be flavored and more delicious.
Xu Zhuo soaked these ingredients in a basin of water, and then brought them all to the cold storage.
Nowadays, the temperature is too high, and the kitchen is also a hot environment, soaking the ingredients at this temperature for a long time can easily cause the ingredients to spoil and deteriorate.
Therefore, soaking the ingredients at low temperatures is the first choice.
When soaking these ingredients, red beans, mung beans and peanuts can be as much as you want, and there are no specific requirements, after all, it is just an addition, whether you have it or not.
But glutinous rice is different.
The main thing in this dish is glutinous rice, so you can't soak it less.
When wrapping zongzi, not only the appearance of the chicken needs to be wrapped with a layer of glutinous rice, but also when filling the chicken belly with filling, some glutinous rice should be put in.
Otherwise, when the zongzi is ready, there will be a lot of soup in the chicken belly, which will affect the overall sense and taste.
Therefore, it is necessary to add glutinous rice and absorb all the gravy from the chicken belly, so that not only does it taste better, but it is also completely different in terms of sensory.
After soaking a few ingredients, Xu Zhuo began to clean up the whole chicken to be used.
Originally, he was going to make one.
But as soon as Li Hao and Lao Meng heard that they were going to make zongzi with a whole chicken, they all said that they wanted to eat it once in the live broadcast room.
This kind of request made Xu Zhuo prepare an extra chicken.
Although it is nothing for everyone to eat whole chicken dumplings together in the live broadcast room, Boss Xu, who is currently in the stage of social death, said that he will not participate in the live broadcast.
When the time comes, let Li Hao and Lao Meng eat one zongzi separately in the live broadcast room, and the others will eat another zongzi together outside the live broadcast room.
It sounds stingy for a large group of people to eat a zongzi, but when the size of the zongzi exceeds ten catties, it is normal for a group of people to eat it separately.
Anyway, Xu Zhuo felt that he was only half a catty at most, after all, this is glutinous rice, which is sticky and slow to digest, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, so he doesn't dare to eat too much.
The chickens that Xu Zhuo prepared were two large roosters that had just been slaughtered from the market.
After all, it's your own people to eat, it's a bit hard to get your hands on three yellow chickens or boy chickens, or big roosters are more realistic, even if you don't eat zongzi and just eat meat, you can easily make people full.
However, it is not so easy for the big rooster to be wrapped in zongzi, and it must be marinated first.
And be sure to marinate the chicken thoroughly, so that the rice dumplings taste good.
It tastes even more delicious.
Xu Zhuo put the slaughtered rooster in a basin and washed it twice, chopped off the head and claws, tore off the lymphatic tissue in the neck of the chicken, and removed the buttocks.
Remove all the parts of the chicken that are easy to be cleaned and smelly, and then wash them again, and then start pickling.
The ingredients for marinating the chicken are not troublesome, light soy sauce and cooking wine and green onion and ginger are enough.
Put the chicken in a basin and pour light soy sauce and green onion ginger slices into it.
Rub the sauce on the chicken by hand to allow the chicken to fully absorb, then fill the chicken with green onion knots and some ginger slices.
Finally, it is brought to the cold storage and marinated at low temperature.
After these were done, Xu Zhuo took another basin of water, soaked the dried zongzi leaves he bought, pressed heavy objects, and completely immersed the zongzi leaves in the water.
Dried dumpling leaves can only be used when they are soaked softly.
As for why I didn't use wet dumpling leaves......
Xu Zhuo is worried that there will be pesticides or something on the dumpling leaves, and if the wet dumpling leaves are wet for a long time, microorganisms will be overflowing, and he always feels that it will not be so hygienic and healthy.
Once all the ingredients are ready, the next step is to wait quietly.
Wait until the glutinous rice is soaked and the chicken is marinated, and you can make this famous champion whole chicken dumpling.
Xu Zhuo is quite looking forward to it.
But when he was proud, Guo Xingwang walked over with his mobile phone with a thick puzzle on his face.
"Xu Zhuo, this Weibo you just posted is so strange, you graduated from school, why do you have such a big sense of superiority outside the words?"
When Xu Zhuo heard this, a bad thought came to his heart.
it!
Yuan Kang of the dog day, he wouldn't post any shameful words on his Weibo, right?
He took Guo Xingwang's mobile phone and looked at it, and the whole person suddenly felt bad.
Repeatedly: "I'm so stupid, I'm really ......"
