Chapter 336, Sauce Chicken Feet and Pickled Pepper Chicken Feet
Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, and there were only frozen chicken feet left in the supermarket at night, Wen Xi picked up a bag of chicken feet and ran. Anyway, the score given by the system is the same, how fresh can frozen chicken feet be?
Chicken feet, green onions, ginger and garlic are relatively easy to find, and there is no kimchi jar, and it is okay to seal the crisper with glass. It's just that Wen Xi searched the entire supermarket and didn't find a single spicy chili.
"Xixi, I looked for it again just now, it's either round peppers or bell peppers, and there are no peppers to sell at all!" Xiao Ling was sweating profusely, he didn't find peppers in the imported food area, let alone the peppercorns and other seasonings that Wenxi needed!
"Then buy these things first. Wen Xi said while holding a few large crisper boxes.
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Ling pushed the shopping cart to queue up to check out, Noble was surrounded by a sea of people and couldn't get out for a while, and the supermarket didn't have key seasonings, and they couldn't make pickled pepper phoenix feet even if they bought chicken wings!
"Ahem, the embassy's kitchen should have some stock, and I'm going to use their utensils. "Wen Xi said to Noble before that using the hotel's kettle to make pickled peppers was just a joke, first, he didn't live in the hotel, and besides, the better hotels didn't have a hot water kettle at all, how could Wen Xi rest assured that the things in the express hotel were going to eat the food in his mouth, what if someone else used the kettle to cook underwear?
"That's good. Xiao Ling quickly paid, carried her things and drove Wen Xi out of the supermarket. He had already notified Noble's agent just now, and the security guards of the supermarket were also fully armed and ready to go in to save people, so nothing should happen!
As a participant in the World Heritage application and a well-known food expert, Wen Xi opened his mouth to borrow the kitchen, and the chef naturally did not worry that the kitchen would be unrecognizable, so he agreed to Wen Xi's request without hesitation.
The chicken feet that I just bought needed to be thawed, and the temperature was suitable on a summer night, so Wen Xi didn't have to worry much about putting the chicken feet on the counter.
Cool boiled water is needed to prepare the sauce sauce, and the chicken feet also need to be rinsed in ice water after scalding, and most restaurants will use mineral water instead of the former, while the latter is generally directly replaced by natural water. There will always be a lot of tiny bacteria in the raw water, and Wen Xi doesn't want to have diarrhea after eating the phoenix claws he made, so he simply boils the water himself for later use.
After washing and chopping the green onion and ginger for later use, Wenxi began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find peppercorns and pickled peppers. The amount of pepper needed is not much, a small amount is enough, but there is only half a bottle of pickled pepper left, and when it is poured into a large porcelain bowl, it is found that there are only a dozen pickled peppers, and Wen Xi bought two kilograms of phoenix feet!
"Xixi, do you want me to go to Chinatown to find out if there are any pickled peppers for sale?" Xiao Ling knows that even if she has never made pickled pepper phoenix feet, she knows that there are not enough things, if the pickled pepper and phoenix feet are not put in place, the taste will be too bad!
"Forget it, I'll chop the pickled pepper a little, and the spiciness should be enough. Wen Xi bit the tail of the chili pepper and tasted it before shaking his head, noble can't eat what a spicy phoenix claw. If it's not enough to stomp his feet, he can make another pot of chicken feet with sauce.
After almost searching the embassy's kitchen, Wen Xi gathered enough ingredients for chicken feet in sauce. After washing and drying all the utensils, the chicken feet are finally thawed.
The sauce chicken feet have been boiling for a long time, and Wen Xi is going to make the sauce chicken feet first.
"Xixi, is there anything I can do to help?" Xiao Ling rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the scissors, he was still competent to cut the nails of chicken feet, you must know that the company's conditions for Wen Xi to find an assistant in addition to excellent academic performance, knowing how to cook is also one of the necessary options, Xiao Ling is to conquer the examiner's stomach with a tomato egg noodle!
"Then I'm bothering you. Wen Xi was not polite, pushed the whole bag of chicken feet to Xiao Ling, set up a cauldron and boiled water to prepare for bathing the chicken feet.
The practice of pickled pepper chicken feet and sauce chicken feet is completely different, sauce chicken feet need to be put into boiling water to remove the fishy smell and impurities, and then you need to add ingredients to boil together, if the boiling time is too long, the fat is lost too much, and the sauce chicken feet will have no gum taste. The pickled pepper and phoenix feet are just to let the flavor of the seasoning penetrate into the bones and flesh of the chicken feet, and the cooked chicken feet need to be used as the material; and the pickled pepper and chicken feet are used as cold dishes, when the temperature is too low, the fat of the chicken feet is easy to agglomerate, which affects both the taste and the appearance, so it is suitable to add cold water and slowly boil until the water boils.
So Wen Xi only turned on the gas on one stove, and then began to mix the raw materials that would be needed later.
After Xiao Ling cut off half of the chicken feet and cut off her nails, the water in the pot was just boiling, Wen Xi threw these chicken feet into the pot, kept the hot water and slowly boiled, and the chicken feet floated from the bottom of the pot to the surface of the water and immediately fished them out for later use.
"Brother Xiao, you go outside to cut it, you might be a little choked later. After replacing a wok, Wen Xi looked at Xiao Ling, who was concentrating on cutting her nails, and said. Fortunately, the embassy's exhaust equipment belongs to the level of a Chinese restaurant, otherwise the smoke from the kitchen will not be able to get out, and the embassy's smoke detector may have to start working.
"It's okay, I used to cook by myself when I was in school, but my cooking skills can't be compared to yours. Xiao Ling's indifferent smile is not just choking? He used to use meat sauce often, and his nose has been battle-hardened for a long time, so he shouldn't be choked.
"Then I'll go find two masks. Wen Xi was helpless, he was really choked later, Xiao Ling would definitely not go out for the sake of face, Wen Xi still accompanied Xiao Ling to put on a mask. There is a system, even if Wen Xi can't smell the food in time, his grasp of the heat is still unmatched.
One person wore an anti-smog mask, and Wen Xi opened fire with peace of mind.
Add green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and herbs to the hot oil in the hot pan and stir-fry, and slowly the aroma gradually fills the entire kitchen.
When the fragrance was strong, Wen Xi immediately put in a few dried peppers, and quickly poured cooking wine, soy sauce, salt, and sugar at the moment when the flavor of the peppers was stimulated, stirred evenly, and then put the boiling chicken feet into the heat and stir-fried.
"Ahem...... Uh-huh!"
Xiao Ling was still choked in the end, but she just held it in her throat while Wen Xi didn't pay attention. finally cut all the chicken feet, and Xiao Ling found out that Wen Xi didn't fry the chicken feet beforehand!
"Cough, Xixi, why don't you fry the chicken feet first? Isn't that very fast?" Xiao Ling looked at the time, it was already half past ten in the evening, and it would take at least more than an hour to complete it with Wen Xi's method, and it would be good to be able to sleep before twelve o'clock! Tomorrow they have to get up early to catch the plane, and Wen Xi can lie in bed for less than five hours, not to mention that primary and secondary school students have to ensure nine hours of sleep!
"I'm not making tiger skin chicken feet, so frying is a bit of a coping. Wen Xi shook his head, he never cut corners when dealing with food, looking for quick and convenient, if it is convenient, it is better to go directly to buy it outside!
"Oh......" Xiao Ling was embarrassed, it was really embarrassing to be lectured by a child who was more than ten years younger than him.
"Brother Xiao, put the chicken feet in this pot, and then help me turn on the gas!" Wen Xi saw Xiao Ling standing there very embarrassed, so he simply found a job for him to do.
"Is it okay to pour it in directly?Open medium heat or high fire?" Xiao Ling asked carefully before working.
When Wen Xi fried the phoenix claws in the pot on the left to make the tiger skin, the pot on the right side also began to bubble out.
"Brother Xiao, help me bring that can of beer. Wen Xi added a little more ingredients, Xiao Ling opened the beer bottle and slowly poured in the amount Wen Xi wanted, then added water and turned to medium heat to simmer slowly.
At this time, the pot of pickled pepper and phoenix feet was just opened, and Wen Xi scooped up the phoenix feet and drained them. Xiao Ling took Wen Xi's cold boiled water with ice cubes and wanted to come over to help, but Wen Xi changed the pot and added water and ginger, and was boiling it on the stove!
"Xixi, don't you wash it now?" Xiao Ling wondered, why Wenxi's method of making pickled pepper phoenix feet was different from the methods he knew!
"If you don't wash it now, you see, the chicken feet are not fully cooked. Wen Xi chopped the chicken feet into three pieces with a knife, and the cross-section of the chicken bones was still a dazzling bright red, and the inside was not yet ripe.
"Then you add ...... now"
"The smell is removed, and the chicken feet are more flavorful after cooking them once. Wen Xi quickly cut all the chicken feet into pieces and threw them into the pot, covered the pot and looked after the heat of the two stoves at the same time.
When the pot on the right-hand side boiled again and boiled for five or six minutes, a thick white mist rose before Wen Xi asked Xiao Ling to bring the basin of ice water.
"At this time, putting the chicken feet in ice water can quickly remove the grease and excess gum on the surface, and it will be refreshing and not greasy to eat. "Wen Xi massaged the chicken feet one by one, pickled pepper and phoenix feet are Jindian's Sichuan and Chongqing cold dishes, Wen Xi's practice is still taught by Du Ling, and ordinary people don't know how to do it at all. And Xiao Ling stood next to him and watched so seriously, as if he wanted to learn, Wen Xi naturally didn't hide it, and explained every step in detail.
"Look, it's almost like this, you can wash your hands and try it. Wen Xi washed the grease on his hands and made room for Xiao Ling, and stood on the cooking table to take out the pickled pepper and chop it finely, in the case of the lack of materials, this can bring the spicy taste of the stomping pepper to the extreme.
"Is this okay?" When Wen Xi added salt to the chopped pepper water, Xiao Ling washed the two chicken feet, which had to be used for Wen Xi's palm.
“…… It took a little longer to wash...... "Wen Xi thinks about it or tell the truth, with Xiao Ling's speed, he can probably wash it directly until tomorrow."
"Good. Xiao Ling nodded and sped up, he was just afraid that Wen Xi would not be satisfied, so he was a little more refined, in fact, his speed of work was still okay.
But that's it, Wen Xi added peppercorns, sugar, white vinegar, and cold boiled water to the pickled pepper to adjust the sauce, and Xiao Ling still had more than a dozen chicken feet left unwashed.
"Brother Xiao, you wash it and put it there to drain the water. Wen Xi still felt that he was faster, and the batch of chicken feet he had washed before was almost ready to use.
"You don't need to pour too much of this sauce sauce, the water surface is just below the amount of chicken feet, otherwise the taste of chicken feet is easy to salt. Wen Xi said that he carefully stacked the chicken feet in the glass sealed bowl, poured in the homemade seasoning juice, covered it with a layer of plastic wrap, and then sealed the lid, and a pickled pepper and phoenix feet were mostly completed. Next, just put it in the refrigerator and let the chicken feet absorb the flavor of the sauce.
"So much, noble shouldn't be able to finish it!" Xiao Ling looked at the big bowl that Wen Xi had already put in the refrigerator, and then looked at the chicken feet that were draining and waiting to add the sauce, and the chicken feet that were still rolling in the sauce, and he was very suspicious of Noble's combat power.
This is a full two kilograms of chicken feet, and the pickled pepper chicken feet and sauce chicken feet can't be stored for a long time, and the food of noble in the past two days can only be chicken feet! Wen Xi's craftsmanship is so outstanding, Xiao Ling doesn't think that noble will be willing to share the sauce chicken feet and pickled pepper chicken feet with others!
"He was given a portion of the pickled pepper chicken feet and the chicken feet in sauce, and we took the rest to the plane to eat. "The reason why Wen Xi makes so many chicken feet is not entirely for the sake of noble.
A few days ago, Wen Xi flew from Beijing to the United States after a full meal, and he still felt hungry after more than ten hours. Tomorrow as soon as I get off the plane, I have to rush to the premiere of the documentary, and on the way, I have to turn around to the modeling house to change clothes and do styling, and Moon Hee can only eat for the ten hours on the plane.
But Wenxi's system has level 5, although there is no physical punishment for the last time I ate a plane meal, but it hurts to not be able to collect energy values for a day, Wenxi makes some sauce chicken feet with rice, and should be able to get 5 points in the hands of the system. As for how many points can be scored for pickled pepper and phoenix feet, Wen Xi is not worried at all, at this time, the chicken feet have already had 5 points ↓ without flavor, and they will definitely reach 6 points in another night.
"Hee, how can you be so ruthless!oh, it's so fragrant!" Noble pushed open the door angrily, how difficult it was to rush out of the encirclement of which fans Wen Xi knew?Unfortunately, before Noble could finish complaining, he was shocked by the thick smell of chicken in the kitchen.
"Is it fragrant? It's not good yet, it will be more fragrant in twenty minutes!" Wen Xi smiled and watched the score of the sauce chicken feet slowly drift past the 5-point mark, and the final result should also reach 6 points.
"Oh, amazing oriental food!" Noble's agent exclaimed, he missed the last time Moon Hee roasted a whole lamb, and only heard the other actors compliment Moon Hee. At the time, he thought it was an exaggeration, but now that he really smells the aroma of food, the agent feels that his first forty years of food belong to the shit level!
"Hee, are these for me?" Noble swallowed unrestrainedly, so many chicken feet, he could eat one of them in his left hand and one in his right hand for a long time, waka kaka!
"Part of it is yours. Wen Xi soaked the remaining half of the chicken feet into the sauce and sealed it, this one was bigger than the bowl just now.
"Oh, Hee, we're the closest brothers, you can't do this to me!" Noble followed Wen Xi closely and chattered, the pickled pepper phoenix feet looked very delicious, and the black chicken feet smelled very delicious, but Wen Xi said that he could only have a part of it, which was so sad!
"Cooked food has a limited amount of time, and even if it's in the fridge, you'll have to finish it by tomorrow night. And pickled pepper and phoenix feet can not be eaten until the day after tomorrow, the temperature is high in summer, once it is opened, it is best to eat it within 24 hours, do you think I will give you all these chicken feet, can you eat them all?" Wen Xi bypassed noble, lifted the lid of the pot and flipped the sauce chicken feet, noble swallowed saliva faster.
"Okay, can I go to Huaxia to find you next time I want to eat chicken feet?" Noble looked at Wen Xi pitifully, he had already accepted the fact that there was only a part of the chicken feet, but did Wen Xi want to make it up to him?
"You'll have to come on my vacation. Wen Xi shook his head cruelly.
"And when are you free?" said Noble.
"It's hard to say. Wen Xi held back a smile, Xiao Ling hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to clean the dishes, otherwise she would be exposed.
"Oh my God!" Noble covered his face in despair, he just wanted to eat some pickled pepper phoenix feet, why was it so difficult!
