Chapter 41: Finish the Paper-Wrapped Fried Chicken
Paper-wrapped fried chicken is said to have been created by a famous chef brought from Guilin by Wuzhou Futai during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info has been passed down from generation to generation and has now become a traditional dish in WZ City.
It is said that Chen Jitang, the general of the Guangdong Army, sent a special plane from Sui to Wuzhou to fly this delicacy back to taste in order to be able to eat Wuzhou paper-wrapped chicken.
But unfortunately, the technique of this dish has not been lost, but the main material is bamboo shoot paper, which is no longer used, and is replaced by cheaper and easier to find cellophane and jade button paper.
Therefore, sometimes the fault line of inheritance is also largely related to the rapid development and industrialization of society.
Liu Mang first chopped the three yellow chickens into large pieces, then sprinkled with cooking wine, accompanied by soy sauce, ginger juice, fennel powder, star anise powder, ancient moon powder, tangerine peel and other seasonings and green onion white grains, and carefully massaged them with his hands.
"Boss, what are you doing here? Thai Horse Killing Chicken?" "Five eyes leaned on the stove, holding a soft white sand in his mouth, and his face was ruffian.
"Never underestimate the chef's hands!" Liu Mang glared at him angrily: "A full massage can make the chicken firmer and more flavorful." But most of today's chefs don't pay attention to such details, but kung fu cuisine, kung fu cuisine, how can you cook without hard work?"
"Brother Liu Mang, I've plucked out the rest of the chicken feathers, do you want me to do anything else?" Guan Xiaomeng brushed the loose hair on his forehead, stood up and asked.
After Liu Mang came back from Shuiyueju, he saw that the little girl had nowhere to go, so he took her home, anyway, if he opened a store, he would need manpower, so it was better to leave her behind.
But what I didn't expect was that the little girl deserved to be a super foodie, and her obsession with eating could be said to surpass everything.
Seeing that Liu Mang was going to cook today, he ran up and down, busy before and after, and did not have much work to do.
Removing the feathers of chickens is a hard job, not only to endure the fishy smell of the chickens after boiling water, but also to test a person's patience.
Especially for a chef like Liu Mang, as long as there is a fine hair on it, it is considered unqualified. When he first started to get it, Five Eyes didn't get scolded by him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Liu Mang reprimand Wuyan, saying that if the hair was not cleaned, it would affect the taste of the dish, so she took the initiative to take on this tedious work.
The degree of its carefulness is to throw off the rough man of five eyes for dozens of streets.
"Rest, rest. You'll have to eat it in a moment. Liu Mang was very embarrassed, is this considered bullying child labor?
"Okay!" Guan Xiaomeng happily moved over a small stool, his hands on his cheeks, his eyes full of anticipation.
After the chicken was marinated, Liu Mang took out a stack of spring bamboo shoot paper that Lu Yitian had made for him.
This bamboo shoot paper is different from the white cellophane that chefs usually use, it is pale yellow, and when you come forward to smell it, there is a faint fragrance.
Put the chicken pieces into the bamboo shoot paper spread out, wrap them in a rectangular package, and then tie them with coriander stalks to tie them firmly, and the preliminary work is done.
Put oil on the pot, boil the oil temperature until it is hot, and then put the wrapped chicken pieces in.
The wrapped chicken pieces rolled in the oil pan, fine oil bubbles came out of the paper bag, the color of the yellow paper became deeper and darker, and a unique fragrance of spring bamboo shoots poured into Liu Mang's nose.
After the paper bag was fried to brown and slightly black, Liu Mang scooped it up with a colander and gently controlled the oil, and the whole dish was completed.
The appearance of this dish is not very good, it can be said to be unremarkable, and the time and process from slaughtering to marinating to frying are also tedious.
But when Liu Mang used chopsticks to poke open the spring bamboo shoot paper wrapped in chicken nuggets, everyone felt that the previous wait was worth it.
As far as the eye catches, it is a striking golden yellow, which is the most natural color of the chicken after cooking.
Even if you don't use your teeth or tongue, you can feel the firmness and smoothness that comes out of your eyes.
The flavor of ginger juice, fennel powder, tangerine peel and other seasonings after high temperature cooking, mixed with the fragrance of spring bamboo shoot paper itself, makes people's Adam's apple can't help but surge up and down.
Different from the baked in Cantonese cuisine, the best thing about this paper-wrapped fried chicken is that the paper completely locks in the moisture in the chicken. Compared with frying, it isolates the damage of hot oil to the skin of the chicken, so that the chicken skin maintains its toughness and Q bomb.
"Okay, are you ready to eat?" "Five-eyed and Xiaomeng squeezed over, staring at the chicken nuggets on the plate.
"Well, that's fine. Let's eat," Liu Mang nodded.
"Also!" Xiaomeng let out an excited cry from his mouth, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece with chopsticks, blow it gently, and carefully put it into his mouth.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, I'm so happy!"
"Like! what a goddamn good!" Five Eyes also exclaimed.
Liu Mang also picked up a piece of chicken wings and put it in his mouth, and as soon as he entered it, he was completely conquered by the fresh aroma of chicken.
First, the slightly sweet flavor of the chicken blooms lightly on the taste buds. Not only that, but in addition to the smooth and tender chicken, there is also the soft and elastic teeth of the chicken skin, which makes people feel extremely satisfied.
As you chew faster, the flavors of ginger ale and other spices are quickly released in your mouth, rippling layer by layer, and the plump and refreshing chicken mixed with gravy explodes in your mouth.
In the seasoning, ginger juice and other spices in the green onion white remove the last trace of the fishy smell of the chicken.
In addition to providing the most basic salty and fresh taste, soy sauce also makes the color of the ingredients more attractive.
But what's even better is that the bamboo shoot fragrance and chicken in the spring bamboo shoot paper are perfectly blended, and every bite is like walking in a fresh bamboo forest after the rain.
The saliva in Liu Mang's mouth was secreting a lot, but in a blink of an eye, this piece of chicken wings was gnawed by him, and even the chicken bones made him suck and suck, and his tongue didn't want to get rid of this wonderful taste at all.
Soon, a three-yellow chicken of about two catties was eaten by the three of them.
"Brother Liu Mang, I'm so hungry, I'm getting hungrier and hungrier. Guan Xiaomeng's eyes widened, and he said pitifully.
"That's, that's it, Boss. This chicken is so delicious, hurry up and make a few more. Do you want to help? Whatever you want. Five-Eyes also shouted urgently.
"Drop!" The cold voice of the kitchen god space sounded in Liu Mang's mind again.
Bounty task 2 is completed, the bounty is 100% completed, the space is upgraded to a fourth-order magic weapon, the reward is 100,000 points, two primary recipes are given, and there is a chance to draw a lottery.
"Is it finally finished?" Liu Mang came back to his senses, and his heart was even more overjoyed: "No problem! I'll do it a few more times to let you eat to your heart's content!"
