Chapter 118: Perfection

"I didn't expect such a simple dish to have such a complicated story behind it. An Keke said suddenly.

"Ah, how did you kill the chicken, the chick is so cute, how can you kill it. An Keke found out that Cheng Yang had killed the chicken, and he felt a little sad.

"Don't kill it?" Cheng Yang really doesn't understand the thoughts of these little girls.

Cheng Yang didn't care what An Keke thought, he was still busy with the things in his hands, cutting the chicken from the middle, and crushing the bones of the chicken leg with the back of the knife, this method is to make the chicken better folded together, and then add green onions and ginger to the chicken belly, and then add some monosodium glutamate and soy sauce, and then knead these seasonings evenly on the chicken's body to make the taste more intense.

After doing this, there is one more important part: pickling.

The best way to marinate is to choose to marinate the fried peppercorns in the chicken together, cover them with plastic wrap, and then put them in the refrigerator to marinate for an hour.

There is no refrigerator in the hybrid space, but Cheng Yang can control the time here, and he chooses to advance the time by two hours, which should be more appropriate.

"If you're going to an interview tonight, it's best to prepare a chicken and marinate it first, otherwise you won't have time to marinate it during the interview. Cheng Yang reminded.

An Keke was still wondering how Cheng Yang managed to marinate a chicken in an instant, but when she heard him remind herself, she suddenly realized: "Okay, I know." ”

"After marinating, cut the ingredients of these onions and shiitake mushrooms into shreds, mix the remaining ingredients of the previously marinated chicken, and then stuff these seasonings into the belly of the chicken and fix them with toothpicks. Cheng Yang said while carrying out the actual operation.

His movements were not fast, and he deliberately slowed down a little so that Encore could learn.

Then wrap this well-handled rooster in layers with lotus leaves.

Cheng Yang now these two lotus leaves are created by himself, but if you buy them in the market, you can only buy dried lotus leaves, and the dried lotus leaves must be soaked in cold water first.

In fact, this can also be called lotus leaf chicken, in fact, there is not only one way, there is also a kind of not even need to pick the hair, directly wrapped in soil paper and then pasted with soil to be able to bake, and then exude an attractive aroma.

"You pay attention to my technique, when you wrap the chicken with lotus leaves, you must also pay attention to this wrapping method, which can be wrapped more tightly, so that the taste of lotus leaves can be fully integrated into the chicken. Cheng Yang reminded.

"It's not hard. "Encore has been watching carefully.

"If you have this earthen stove, you won't have it in the hotel at that time, but there is an oven, you can put it in the oven, and if it's dirty, just go to the park and find a little bit on it, this is called Huaji has no requirements for soil. Cheng Yang added.

An Keke nodded.

Cheng Yang used soil to paste the chicken that had been wrapped in lotus leaves with a layer of soil, in fact, many methods called flower chickens no longer use lotus leaves, but choose to wrap a layer of tin foil, not even paste, but directly wrapped the tin foil and put it in the oven, which is both fast and delicious.

But it still lacks a little bit of flavor.

Just the earth, lotus leaves, and earthen stoves are the most primitive and natural things, and the rarest thing about food is actually to return to the basics and obey nature.

"You pay attention, the most critical step after putting it in, this heat problem is the most important, if you use an earthen stove, you must not use a fierce fire, when you use an oven, the temperature is adjusted to the middle range. Cheng Yang reminded.

Because the soil is heat-absorbing, it is likely to crack if the temperature is too high, and it is difficult to cook the chicken if the temperature is low.

After roasting for about thirty minutes, Cheng Yang felt that it was already 0K, so he took out the chicken from the earthen stove, because of the heat, so the appearance of the soil was quite complete, and there was only a trace of cracks on the surface.

Cheng Yang took a small awl, slowly knocked open this layer of soil, saw the lotus leaf, and then peeled it off with his hands.

This is a feeling of opening the gift box, because Cheng Yang doesn't know what the effect of this method will be, whether it is good or bad is still unknown, An Keke is also watching from the side, breathing a little fast.

When Cheng Yang opened the last layer of lotus leaves, an attractive taste instantly diffused, it was the fragrance of chicken mixed with the taste of sauce, just smelling it made people feel refreshed, coupled with the smell of lotus leaves, this one called flower chicken is full of fragrance,

Open all the lotus leaves, and a golden roast chicken is presented in front of the two.

"Golden Legends. ”

"You try it first, this dish is called flower chicken, whether it is from the selection of materials or methods, I choose the most primitive, the most classic method, I think it is delicious. Cheng Yang asked An Keke to try the taste.

In fact, after cooking too many dishes, he didn't want to eat them so much, but wanted to find someone who knew how to eat them to taste, which is why so many chefs don't actually eat their own dishes.

"Good. "Encore can't wait.

She took a knife and cut a small piece of chicken into her mouth, and when she first entered her mouth, there was a numb feeling of peppercorns, and then the unique aroma of chicken, the taste of sauce when chewing, and the taste of green onions, ginger and garlic burst out, filling the whole mouth.

"It smells so good. "Encore is already a little intoxicated.

"Okay, okay, don't just eat it, you can try it quickly, not to mention that it is at my level, at least six out of ten of the level is still necessary, as long as there is six out of ten of the deliciousness of this chicken, you can probably pass the interview of the senior chef." Cheng Yang saw that An Keke had already eaten it, and hurriedly said.

In fact, now in the mixed metaverse, everything is false, but the taste is real, and they are all based on reality, so this chicken is indeed very perfect.

Next is the training time of Ankeke, Ankeke is really smart in cooking, not clumsy, but a little timid when killing chickens, and other links are basically done in one go, and the action is fast.

But she didn't handle many details very well, such as putting too much cooking wine, mixing and blending the ingredients too many times, there was no way to achieve the flavor, and there were also problems with the wrapping of lotus leaves, in short, there were many, many details that were ignored by Encore.

The chicken made in the end was far from Cheng Yang's, which made An Keke a little disappointed.
