At this time, while the chicken was marinating, Meng Chuan began to stir-fry the ingredients in the pot.

Stir-fry peanuts first, the side dish of peanuts in Kung Pao Chicken is very important, if the peanuts are not crispy or crispy, it will directly affect the taste of the dish.

Heat the oil in the pan, and when the oil temperature is 50% hot, you can add peanuts and fry them.

If there is too much oil, it is not easy to control the temperature of fried peanuts, and if the heat is not well grasped, it is too difficult to fry peanuts.

Meng Chuan quickly fried the peanuts, and the peanuts were golden and crispy, and they were particularly fragrant at a glance.

The cooking squad leader used to fry peanuts a lot, and he always thought that he fried them well, but when he saw Meng Chuan fried peanuts, he was a little suspicious of his cooking skills.

It stands to reason that peanuts are such a simple ingredient, no matter how they are fried, there will not be much difference, but what Meng Chuan fried is very fragrant, even if you see Meng Chuan fried it with your own eyes, you will wonder if Meng Chuan is secretly putting any seasoning behind your back, why is it so fragrant.

Meng Chuan's fried ingredients are very particular about the heat, even if it is the most basic peanuts, he will be just right when he puts the ingredients, and the aroma of the edible oil is released just right.

The cooking squad leader couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time, so he could only continue to give Meng Chuan a hand, Meng Chuan saw that the pork hadn't been brought over yet, and asked, "Old cook, did you bring the pork belly?" ”

The cooking squad leader hurriedly said: "Because we just came back, I was afraid that the ingredients would spoil, so I froze them, and now they should be thawed, so I'll go get them." ”

Meng Chuan nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

At this time, the chicken was also marinated and tasted, and Meng Chuan began to make it officially.

Stir-fry the meat, add the chopped green onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers, sprinkle a handful of peppercorns, stir-fry until fragrant.

Because these spices are easy to stir-fry, the time must be grasped well, about ten seconds, the fragrance has completely come out, and the main ingredient chicken is added at this time.

As soon as the white chicken comes into contact with the hot oil full of spices, the sound of sizzling fried meat immediately comes out, and after about two minutes of stir-frying, the chicken is already dead.

At this time, the color begins, soy sauce and dark soy sauce are used, the dark soy sauce is a coloring tool, pour in a small spoon, and the tender yellow chicken will suddenly become delicious.

White sugar is also indispensable, so Meng Chuan scooped a small spoonful and poured it in.

The role of white sugar is to improve freshness, because chicken is a kind of ingredient that has a lot of umami but is not easy to come out, adding some sugar can not only play a role in coloring and freshness, but also improve the taste to a very high level.

Then add salt, a little vinegar, a spoonful of paprika to taste.

If you don't like spicy food, you can skip this chili powder, but Meng Chuan recommends adding it, so that the taste will be better.

When the seasoning is evenly stir-fried and the diced chicken is flavored, you can add the diced cucumber and stir-fried peanuts.

Finally, the juice is reduced on high heat, and a plate of kung pao chicken is completed.

As the plating was completed, Meng Chuan waited for a while, and found that the cooking squad leader hadn't come over yet, and was a little puzzled, "Does it take that long to get an ingredient?" ”

Just as Meng Chuan was muttering, Political Commissar Gao hurriedly walked over, followed by the cooking squad leader carrying meat, "Director Meng, you have been looking for me for a long time, if it weren't for the cooking squad leader, I wouldn't have known that you were in the back kitchen." ”

"By the way, there is something serious, I just received a call from the brigade political commissar, saying that you have brought back a talent, and I must make proper arrangements for food and accommodation, where are the people now?"

Meng Chuan saw that the political commissar Gao was anxious, and said with a smile: "What are you anxious about, I brought the person back, are you still afraid that I will lose the person?" ”

The high political commissar smiled bitterly, "You don't know, I can hear from the tone of the brigade political commissar that the political commissar attaches great importance to this person, maybe he is a valuable talent, or he is a person with a background." The brigade commissar attaches so much importance to it, can I not pay attention to it? ”

"I know that you usually act uprightly, do things according to the rules, and even the brigade commander dares to act for the sake of principles, but I am not as tough as you. If you let that person crowd the chase shop with the soldiers, I can't explain it, so I'd better arrange the food and lodging of the people first, and then talk about the next question. ”

Meng Chuan didn't think much about it as the high political commissar, at first he really wanted to arrange the little fat man in the soldiers' room, because he was a little worried about the discipline of the little fat man, especially in the matter of morning exercises, he was particularly worried.

If you arrange a single room for the little fat man, no one cares about him, he sleeps until dawn, and the morning exercise is delayed, isn't this a slap in the face.

"Political Commissar Gao, I think it's okay for him to eat and sleep with the soldiers, there's no need to arrange a single room for him, he usually follows me to collect data, and basically doesn't need a single room."

Political Commissar Gao doesn't care so much, "Director Meng, I can't interfere in the training, but in terms of life, I'll be in charge, I'll arrange the single room, it's in the fifth room on our leadership floor, and I'll listen to me." ”

Meng Chuan was really a little surprised when he heard that the little fat man had such a good treatment, "No, Lao Gao." I remember that Captain Zhao Ming applied for that single room for a year, and he didn't apply for it, so you just let it out, let Xiao Zhao hear it, what does he feel in his heart! ”

Political Commissar Gao waved his hand, "I have decided on this matter, what can Xiao Zhao say?" Besides, he was only promoted to major at the end of this year, and he is not qualified to live in that single room now, and when he changes his title at the end of the year, it will not be too late for me to give him the room. Okay, don't talk so much, where is the person, I'll take him to settle down first. ”

In terms of personnel arrangements and life, it is true that the high political commissar should be in charge, and Meng Chuan, the military commander, can't cross the border, so he has to go, so through the window, he pointed to the little fat man outside, "Have you seen that cadet soldier?" That's him. ”

The high political commissar hurriedly looked over, saw the little fat man who was fiddling with the individual soldier communication, and asked in surprise: "Is this the talent that the brigade political commissar said?" How is it so small? I thought it was someone in his thirties and forties, Director Meng, are you sure you didn't bring the wrong person? ”

Meng Chuan couldn't help but laugh, "He's my apprentice, can I take the wrong one?" Don't look at him small, his computer skills are beyond the reach of you and me combined. Okay, let the old cook give me the pork belly, I'll hurry up and cook, the little fat man has brought me good things, I can't treat him badly. ”

The high political commissar saw that it was right, and he didn't care about Meng Chuan, so he made way for the cooking squad leader and said, "Okay, then you can do it, I'll talk to him first." ”
