Chapter Seventy-Two: Kung Pao Chicken

"Of course, I didn't blow this cucumber, you can fry and fry everything, or you can cook soup and marinate. It can be cut into slices, and it can also be used as a beauty product to apply to the face, moisturizing and whitening."

Listening to Li Yuqing say so much, looking at the cucumber in the back basket, Shopkeeper Yao really couldn't see that it had so much use, and Li Yuqing's eyes were full of uncertainty.

Li Yuqing saw the eyes of the shopkeeper Yao, the meaning was obvious, Li Yuqing was too lazy to explain to him, she was afraid that the explanation would not be clear, and his disbelief made her very unhappy, is she the kind of person who talks empty after getting along for so long......

Li Yuqing didn't say much, and directly asked the guy to carry the basket to the backyard, let the shopkeeper Yao wait outside, and went into the kitchen by himself.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw An Xiaoneng, An Xiaoneng was helping to cook, and when I raised my eyes, I also saw Li Yuqing, but this time it was different from last time, An Xiaoneng was no longer the original apprentice who had just come, and now he was a disciple of Chef Cao, who envied a lot of new and old apprentices, and he could be taken by Chef Cao to see that his character was good.

In fact, Li Yuqing didn't know that An Xiaoneng's current status was inseparable from her. If she hadn't handed over the spicy chicken recipe to him, An Xiaoneng would not have been able to worship Chef Cao's hands no matter how hard she worked so far, in addition to being familiar with the kitchen.

Saying hello to each other, Li Yuqing explained her intentions, because last time it was An Xiaoneng who helped her light the fire, helped prepare things, and did a good job, so this time I directly told Chef Cao, indicating that I also wanted An Xiaoneng to help, Chef Cao listened to Li Yuqing's words and immediately agreed, thinking that he liked An Xiaoneng, a smart and capable apprentice, from the bottom of his heart.

An Xiaoneng was very happy to hear that the master agreed without hesitation, thanked the master, and ran to Li Yuqing's side, called "Miss Li", and then surrounded Li Yuqing, chattering with her about what had happened to her recently.

Li Yuqing listened to him with a smile, and only then arranged his work after he finished speaking.

In fact, cucumber cooking is very simple, Li Yuqing is going to make a cucumber salad with pork ears, kung pao chicken, cucumber egg soup.

Let An Xiaoneng take out some cucumbers to wash and put aside, and chop up the chili peppers she sent last time, this time Li Yuqing was afraid that An Xiaoneng would also have the last tearing incident, and when An Xiaoneng just started picking chili peppers, Li Yuqing told him in his ear to pay attention not to touch his eyes, and later when he cut the chili peppers, he kept chattering, and An Xiaoneng's head was big.

"Miss Li, don't say it again, I remember it all, and I promise that there will be no accidents. "An Xiaoneng really can't stand it

Last time, I helped Li Yuqing cut chili peppers, because it was the first time I came into contact with that kind of thing, so I didn't know if I couldn't touch my eyes with my hands. can imagine the final end, not to mention the tears, that is, in the end, there were no tears, and the eyes were swollen for several days, and there were many laughs during that time.

"Yes, I still think I'm nagging, who am I for. ”

"I know, Miss Li is the best, don't you still have something to do, don't you do it quickly. It's time to finish early, so you might as well go home early," An Xiaoneng looked at Li Yuqing, who was still pretending to be injured, and said helplessly.

was still looking for an opportunity to talk about An Xiaoneng, but he didn't expect to be blocked by him again. I thought that I would have to invite others to dinner at noon, and it was embarrassing to go back late. I don't talk nonsense with An Xiaoneng anymore, the two of them were speechless for a while, he was busy with his, and I was busy with mine.

Li Yuqing handed over the preparation of peanuts to An Xiaoneng, she wanted to make a kung pao chicken, and there was a freshly killed chicken on the big table where the ingredients were placed. Anyway, this is also the largest restaurant kitchen in the town, and there are also some side dishes that can be seen outside.

Walk over and bring the chicken from the table and turn it upside down to expose its belly. Pick up the kitchen knife and go down the chicken belly to reveal the chicken breast.

The kitchen knife slipped the two pieces of chicken breast at an angle, and the remaining half of the chicken was put aside and not used, because the restaurant uses chicken soup to make soup and the like, and the remaining half of the chicken can be washed and boiled in soup, and it will not be wasted anyway.

Dice the chicken breast and add some salt, and then add some wine to taste. There is no starch or anything yet, it will take a while to extract it with flour, Li Yuqing is very busy and has no time to make it so delicate, there is no way to make it as long as the taste is good, and how to make the rest of it delicious in the future is the business of the chef of Fumanlou.

Touch the cucumber that An Xiaoneng washed, cut it into four cloves from the middle, and then cut it into cubes. Cut the green onion into sections, cut the chili pepper An Xiaoneng well, and wash the peanuts and put them aside in the water.

In fact, to make Kung Pao Chicken, you also need some peppercorns, Li Yuqing didn't know that she could see cucumbers at that time, and she didn't prepare to come to Fumanlou to cook.

Take out a small bowl and put soy sauce, salt and sugar in it, because there is no cooking wine, use the white wine used to cook a little less, and mix well to make a seasoning sauce.

The peanuts are basically dry, An Xiaoneng has already heated the pot, Li Yuqing scooped a spoonful of oil into the pot, put a peanut in it when the temperature rises, and put all the peanuts into the pot when the oil boils. Stir well with a spatula to prevent uneven frying, and wait for the peanut skin to crack a few seconds before the peanuts are set aside.

Leave the bottom oil in the pot, heat it, add the dried chili peppers, fry them over low heat until fragrant, and then add the green onions. Put in diced chicken, put 1 tablespoon of white wine, fry until the chicken changes color, pour in the pre-adjusted sauce, then add diced cucumber and cooked peanuts, stir-fry evenly until colored, then turn off the heat and serve.

A burst of fragrance came, and I hadn't eaten in the morning, and I couldn't be seduced by this fragrance. Li Yuqing took two pairs of chopsticks and used one pair for herself. I put a peanut in my mouth, and it was crispy.

An Xiaoneng stood aside and watched Li Yuqing enjoy eating, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva hard, didn't say anything on his face, and counted Li Yuqing all over in his heart, "Why is this Li girl so stingy, I didn't see that I'm still standing here, why don't you let me try it if it's so fragrant" scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously.

Li Yuqing seemed to have a sense, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw An Xiaoneng's eager look, and she was embarrassed to see how comfortable she was eating, "That, Brother An will also try it" said and handed another pair of chopsticks to An Xiaoneng.

Seeing Li Yuqing handing over a pair of chopsticks, An Xiaoneng was stunned, thinking that he was still squeezing out Li Yuqing in his heart just now, and he was embarrassed to invite him now. However, the food is not much to say at the moment, and he took Li Yuqing's chopsticks and went to pick up the dishes.

Li Yuqing originally wanted him to try it, and he didn't say anything when he saw him like this, looking forward to it, although he felt good, it didn't mean that others thought it was good.

An Xiaoneng ate chopsticks one after another, Li Yuqing was dumbfounded and hurriedly stopped "Brother An"

An Xiaoneng reacted, and saw that one side of the plate had been eaten by himself, and his face was flushed all of a sudden, "I'm sorry, it's so delicious, I didn't notice it for a while." ”

Although his success could be seen from An Xiaoneng's appearance, Li Yuqing was even happier to hear the affirmative words again.
