Chapter 528: Coconut Chicken (continued)
Liu Mang walked to the stove in the kitchen, took two green-skinned coconuts, simply peeled them, and then used a knife to remove a lid on them.
Pour out half of the coconut water, then fill in the soaked glutinous rice, red dates, dried longan, wolfberries, and lotus seeds, cover and put the lid in the steamer to steam.
"Hello, here you go. The remaining half of the coconut water, Liu Mang poured it into two glasses, added a little honey and ice cubes, and sent it to the fat man and Lao Zhang.
"Boss, how long have you been learning to cook?" asked the fat man, taking a sip of coconut water.
"Four years. Liu Mang didn't raise his head, and seriously dealt with the chicken in his hand.
This chicken is a Luhua chicken produced by the space, raised for less than half a year, and before the time to lay eggs, the meat is tender and delicious, especially suitable for stir-frying or white chopping.
This is also the reason why Liu Mang feels that selling his chicken for 100 yuan is equivalent to giving it away for nothing. In normal times, no matter how much money others give, it is not negotiable.
"What kind of cuisine did the boss learn, coconut chicken seems to be Hainanese cuisine, right? Are you from Hainan?" asked Lao Zhang again.
"In my eyes, there is no cuisine, and any cuisine has its merits and learning. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Mang paused: "I know a little bit of any cuisine, this coconut chicken was only thought up for yesterday, and it is not a Hainan dish at all." ”
"This boss hasn't been cooking for a long time, and the cowhide is blowing loudly!" the fat man sneered and whispered in Lao Zhang's ear.
But in the next second, the fat man's eyes immediately widened.
Because he saw that Liu Mang just knocked on the chicken here and hammered it there twice, and quickly took out the chicken bones from the knife, and the chicken skin was not damaged at all.
"Oh no, boss, are you the legendary whole chicken boned?"
"According to legend, this is just a basic skill, and anyone who has studied cooking for a few years will know. Liu Mang pursed his lips and replied.
Liu Mang didn't brag about this, upstairs, the whole chicken was deboned and the whole fish was de-punctured, which was indeed one of the chef's introductory lessons.
"Boss, do you want to add something to the belly of the chicken, like three sets of ducks?" the fat man guessed, he guessed.
"It's not. Liu Mang answered, and his hand fell. Chop the deboned chicken into evenly sized pieces: "Anyway, it's all going to be boneless, and the whole chicken looks more comfortable to bone, and it doesn't take much time for me." ”
"Uh...... All right. The fat man covered his face, with an expression of being defeated by you.
Add salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, starch, sesame oil and ginger to the chopped chicken and stir well.
After marinating for a while, the coconut rice steaming on the steamer was almost ready, Liu Mang lifted the lid and stuffed the chicken pieces into it separately.
"Fatty, I think this boss is quite realistic. Lao Zhang took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to the fat man: "Look, a chicken and two coconuts cost 100 yuan, plus labor, water and electricity, etc., the boss has no money to earn." ”
"Yes, yes!" The fat man nodded: "Boss, take an ashtray." ”
"Sorry, smoking is not allowed here. Liu Mang's face straightened.
"Okay, okay. The fat man smugly put the cigarette in his ear.
After about fifteen minutes, a smell wafted out of the steamer.
This aroma is mixed with the sweetness of coconut and the aroma of chicken meat, and it wafts faintly into people's noses, making people's throats can't help but stir.
"Please take your time. Liu Mang opened the coconut shell and brought the steaming two coconuts to the fat man and Lao Zhang.
"It's so fragrant!" the fat man sniffed, "I think this fragrance can purify my soul." ”
"Yes, yes!" Lao Zhang couldn't wait to take the spoon and chopsticks from a box on the bar.
"Lao Zhang, thank you for your hospitality today, I ate it!" The fat man took the spoon handed by Lao Zhang, and was ready to move his mouth when he took it.
"Hey, who told you to eat like this!" Liu Mang shouted angrily, scaring the fat man.
"How...... What's wrong? boss?"
"Why are you stirring it with a spoon?" Liu Mang had a sad expression: "My coconut chicken is layered." The correct way to eat it is to eat the chicken first, so that you can taste the tenderness of the chicken to the fullest. Then eat the rice in the middle, which is the most delicious because it absorbs the sauce from the chicken. Finally, eat the surrounding rice, which is closest to the coconut shell, and the texture and the rice in the middle are two different flavors. ”
"Oh, oh, oh! I haven't stirred too much, I still have time. The fat man smiled, scooped up a spoonful of rice mixed with chicken and put it in his mouth.
"It's so slippery, it's so tender, it's delicious!"
The boss didn't lie, this chicken must have been raised by himself, because the fat man had never eaten such tender chicken outside.
The chicken is so tender that even the skin on it bounces between the teeth with just a slight bite.
The chicken under the skin absorbs the sweet taste of the coconut and makes people feel greasy at all, and when combined with the rice with various dried fruits, it is really delicious to tears in every bite.
It only took five or six minutes for Lao Zhang and the fat man to eat the two servings of coconut chicken cleanly.
"How can it be so delicious!" Lao Zhang stretched out his tongue and licked off a piece of rice on the side of his mouth: "Fatty, I didn't bring you to the wrong place today, did I?"
"That's right! That's right!" the fat man was still unsatisfied: "Lao Zhang, have you eaten enough?" ”
"How can I eat this kind of food, I can eat it until I can. ”
"Forget it, I'll invite you this round, let's have another one by one. The fat man made up his mind: "Boss, give us one or two more copies." ”
"Nope. Liu Mang shrugged: "Kill a chicken today." ”
There is a Luhua Chicken Kitchen God space, but there is only one that has been killed. Originally, Liu Mang was going to eat it himself, but he didn't plan to sell it at all.
"Okay, okay. The fat man looked at the empty coconut shell in front of him fixedly, and sighed: "I ate it too fast just now, I should taste it slowly." ”
"Boss, check out. After sitting for a while, Lao Zhang took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and put them on the bar.
"One is enough, and today it's a 50% discount. Liu Mang put away one and handed the other back to Lao Zhang.
"Hey, there's this good thing!" the fat man became excited: "Boss, when do you get discounts?
"It depends on the mood. Liu Mang replied lightly.
"Then the boss should be in a particularly good mood today?"
"It's not. Liu Mang shook his head and looked at the fat man's fat belly: "The reason why I give you a discount today is because I have a friend who is as fat as you." ”
"I'm ...... dizzy"
