Chapter 69: The Choice
The diners of Emei Restaurant are running for joy to be able to eat Kung Pao Chicken "for free" today, and at this time in the kitchen on the other side of the big glass wall. The two chefs who plan to compete have already kicked off the war.
Lianlian's chef prepared two ingredients.
One is chicken thighs and the other is chicken breasts. There seems to be no big difference between the two kinds of meat, but the choice of ingredients is actually destined for the quality of authentic Kung Pao chicken.
Lian Lian turned his head to look at Li Gengxin, who seemed to be still struggling with what ingredients to use. I suddenly remembered a news full of negative energy.
It was reported on the news that at the London Marathon, only one person completed the race within the allotted time. The rest of the contestants were led down the wrong path by the second place......
This sounds like unbearable news, but it seems to reflect Lianlian's inner world.
"Haha...... Master Li still doesn't do it? If you don't do it, then I'll do it first! While speaking, Lian Lian turned his head to look at Li Gengxin, picked up a piece of chicken breast and threw it on the cutting board, first patted it lightly on the chicken breast with the knife surface, and then gently scratched the chicken breast meat with the blade of the knife, and after the fascia was cut apart, Lianlian gently pulled the fascia with his fingertips and tore it.
After a thin piece of fascia was skillfully torn off, he cut a piece of chicken breast into tenderloin. Turning around in one direction and making a few aggressive knives changed a piece of chicken breast into diced meat.
After doing everything in his hand, Lian Lian casually touched another piece of chicken breast. The knife just scratched the fascia of the chest, and when he subconsciously turned his head to see if Li Gengxin was taken to the ditch by himself, his brows twisted instantly, and his face became as ugly as he looked!
"I'm ......," Lian Lian gritted his back molars and scolded softly.
It turned out that Li Gengxin was pinching a big chicken leg at this time, and his hands and feet quickly cut the chicken along the inside of the chicken thigh, and then rushed the side of the chicken leg without a knife edge, and picked up the knife surface and slapped it twice.
Subsequently. Seeing that Li Gengxin picked up the chicken thigh meat and turned it over, the knife walked You Long turned a few times along the knife hand that had been flattened, and easily removed the bones.
Lian Lian looked at Li Gengxin's skillful deboning technique, and after looking at Li Gengxin with a calm face, he gently touched the chicken thigh, and then gently hooked his fingertips to pick up a small toothpick-like bone in the meat.
Subsequently, Li Gengxin pushed with a horizontal knife. It's like swinging a sword to cut off the toothpick bone!
"!" Lian Lian cursed softly in his mouth.
Originally, Lian Lian thought in his heart that he would cut the chicken breast first, and when Li Gengxin fell deeper and deeper into the pit and began to starch the chicken, he immediately gave up the chicken breast and cut the chicken thigh instead.
But when Lian Lian saw the chicken thigh meat that Li Gengxin was holding in his hand, he knew that he was clever enough to let Li Gengxin see through it.
Of course, Lian Lian didn't know Li Gengxin from his bones, and he saw through his little tricks. If he saw that he cut the chicken breast, he deliberately chose chicken thigh meat to make kung pao chicken.
Li Gengcheng wants to make a difference between Kung Pao Chicken and Lianlian, right?
Of course not! Although Li Gengxin knows that many food stalls and restaurants on the market are using chicken breast to make kung pao chicken, he has also eaten some kung pao chicken that uses chicken thigh meat as the main ingredient.
Although he didn't know what ingredients should be used, Li Gengxin was able to take a bite of the kung pao chicken presented to him by Emei Restaurant just now.
Although the taste is very unimpressive. The feeling that it is not delicious but cannot be said to be wrong, and people have no way to blame what is not delicious, and it really makes people not want to lift the chopsticks to eat the second bite after taking one bite.
But the taste doesn't mask the texture of the ingredients themselves! Li Gengxin ate it in his mouth. I already know that the texture comes from the chicken thigh.
At this time, when competing, Li Gengxin saw the two ingredients and didn't see the marinated chicken in the kitchen, and he had already thought of Lian Lianyin himself.
You can make the taste make you want to vomit, but the ingredients won't be much different. Will the chef in the back kitchen temporarily cut some new diced chicken and marinate it from the new batter because he wants to disgust himself?
No need to ask to know that they won't bother much!
Lian Lian watched Li Gengxin's skillful movements from the side, and looked at the chicken that he had just cut a little bit in his hand, and Lian Lian suddenly felt like a clown jumping off the beam!
"Spicy next door!" Lian Lian cursed secretly in his mouth, and waved his hand to push away the diced chicken that had been cut on the cutting board. It also began to cut and match quickly.
At this time, a chef walked up to Li Gengxin with two stainless steel trays for baking bread and gently put them down. Turn around and place another tray next to the link.
"Two masters, there are a lot of people watching the game outside. Our initial estimate may be a bit small. Please do more. With that, the cook bowed lightly between the two of them, then turned and walked to the busy chef next to him.
Li Gengxin gently raised his hand and grabbed a chicken thigh meat with a modified knife. In fact, there are quite a few pieces during this period. But compared to the large tray of professional toast in front of you. But it's a bit insufficient!
Subconsciously turned his head to look out of the big glass on his side, and suddenly Li Gengxin was a little dizzy. At this time, more and more people gathered outside to watch the excitement. The amount just designed seems to be not enough at this time, and the wolf-like diners outside will serve two chopsticks one by one.
Since the kung pao chicken was eaten first, it naturally needs to be made a lot.
"Hmph. Lee update! When the time comes, whoever finishes it first will go outside! If my food has been served out and eaten. And your kung pao chicken has not been served yet, and I will win when the time comes! Lian Lian suddenly added another rule on the spot.
At this time, Yang Hongli didn't hear Lian Lian say this, otherwise the eldest lady who wanted to come to the Yang family would not necessarily do something now! ”
Li Gengxin hummed and didn't say anything. The movement in his hand increased the frequency slightly, and he began to quickly cut the chicken thigh.
Time is slipping away by the minute. Li Gengxin actually cut out the kung pao chicken before Lianlian. But the last few pieces of chicken thigh meat in Li Gengxin's hand slowed down again.
I saw that Lian Lian teamed up and pulled a knife flower. Then he threw the knife towards the chopping board in a very dashing manner.
After a muffled sound, the handle of the knife was seen buzzing and trembling on the display board.
At this time, Lianlian had already picked up the tray and walked to the spices. Li Gengxin picked up a white hand cloth and gently wiped the surface of the kitchen knife, and then he walked to the seasoning area with the chicken nuggets.
Lian Lian seemed to be afraid that Li Gengxin would see what he was putting in the chicken thighs in his hand, so he turned sideways slightly and deliberately covered the seasoning in front of him.
……
"Who do you think can win this match between Lianlian and Li Gengxin?"
"Li Xiaoteng specially ordered you to guide Lianlian, but I didn't expect such a branch to happen! However, I believe that Lianlian has received your guidance. I can't get it ......."
"Can't get it right?" A mocking smile appeared on the face of the person who spoke.
"Uh...... Although Lianlian's ability is even worse than Li Gengxin's. But now it's at Emei Restaurant! Lianlian, who occupies the home advantage, is his best dish. Lianlian is already very advantageous! I think these things put him on the same starting line as Li Gengxin. ”
"Having said that, although there is no problem, I don't think these can be the absolute basis for defeating Li Gengxin, do they?"
"Then your consciousness is that Li Gengxin will definitely win, right?"
"Hehe......" The man didn't speak, but his smile was full of ambiguity.
"Ahh Ahh ”
Suddenly squatted down and sneezed twice on the ground, Li Gengxin slowly stood up and rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand! Since he was a child, Li Gengxin has believed that one thought, two scolding, and three colds. At this point, he sneezed twice in a row. Li Gengxin subconsciously muttered: "Who is planning against me behind my back?" ”
At this time, Lianlian had already finished pouring the bottom material into the tray. Turned around and ran to the side!
Li Gengxin shook his head speechlessly, and then he didn't think about it according to his understanding of Kung Pao Chicken, raised his hand and pinched some salt, light soy sauce, pepper, green onion ginger and other seasonings and poured them into the tray reasonably.
Subsequently, Li Gengxin looked at Lianlian, who was squatting in the middle of the toss eggs, and took a few eggs from the side and put them in his hand, and then picked up an egg and gently touched it on the tray, and a pair of egg shells were knocked open!
Li Gengxin was holding an egg shell in one hand, and he was pouring the egg yolk back and forth. The fallen eggs fall into the tray.
Cycle repeatedly. The whites of several eggs were poured out by Li Gengxin and poured on the chicken thighs that had been preliminarily marinated. Then Li Gengxin grabbed two large handfuls of starch from the seasoning and put them in a bowl to mix. The water-starched bowl made Li Gengxin lift it in the air and lower it towards the tray.
The starchy state that seemed to be flowing was all poured into the tray of chicken in the end.
After this step is done, the next process is sizing!
In the cooking process of Chinese cuisine, the technical treatment of sizing and pasting the raw materials before cooking is a very important invention in the culinary history of the descendants of the Chinese Yan and Huang Dynasty.
Sizing and hanging paste is one of the important processes of finishing cooking raw materials, which is the process of using some sasuke ingredients and seasonings to coat the main ingredients of the dish in a certain way. Therefore, it is also called "dressing"!
Sasuke ingredients are naturally a variety of starches that are commonly found on the market.
Whether it is corn flour or potato flour, of course, the use of white potato flour to starch and hang paste can make the surface of the food more protective layer, not only protein, vitamins and other nutrients are protected, but also the dishes are tender, lubricated and have a good taste. It also locks in the moisture and flavor of the raw materials. Brings beauty to the shaping of dishes.
And Li Gengxin also added egg whites during the marinating process, which further greatly improved the chewiness of the dish!

Then, Li Gengxin pushed the knife horizontally, and removed the toothpick bone as if swinging a sword to cut the love silk!
"!" Lian Lian cursed softly in his mouth.
