Chapter 657 Cooking
Shiitake mushrooms are known as "mountain treasures", and their effects are similar to chicken soup, such as improving human immunity, delaying aging, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids and so on, so if it is a stewed soup, it will be very good to put some shiitake mushrooms.

As for stewed chicken, the first step is to blanch, poultry such as chickens and ducks, whether fried or stewed, must be blanched first, so that the blood can be filtered and the meat tastes better.
Meng Chuan first chopped the chicken into pieces, and then blanched it in hot water, if you want to remove the fishy, put some ginger slices and some cooking wine, it is okay, Meng Chuan will not put ginger slices in the blanching water first, just pour some cooking wine is enough to remove the fish.
Blanch the water for two or three minutes, then remove it and put it in the soup pot.
At this time, it is best to add more water to the soup pot, because the stewing time will be a little longer, if the water is less, it is not good to drink enough, and then add a little mushroom, red dates, ginger slices, green onions, etc. to the pot for seasoning, and simmer for 30 minutes to an hour.
Stewed chicken soup, although after half an hour, it is completely drinkable. But the longer the stew, the better the taste, so Meng Chuan planned to put the stew time to two hours, so that the stewed chicken soup would taste stronger.
After stewing, Meng Chuan suggested putting half a spoonful of white sugar, because white sugar is used to improve the taste of chicken soup, but the sugar should not be put too much, a little bit of flavor can be added, and then a little salt can be added to taste.
If you stew chicken soup, if you stew it with gas, it is really a bit of a waste, but Meng Chuan has a way to save money. That is to use a rice cooker to stew, generally a three-hundred-watt rice cooker stews for more than three hours to cost one kilowatt-hour of electricity, our residents should use electricity in more than five cents a kilowatt-hour, that is converted, with a rice cooker to stew chicken soup for two hours, it only costs four cents, which is more economical.
After the soup was cooked, Meng Chuan immediately started to make this pineapple set of dishes.
In the case of pineapples, according to the amount of half a person, then you need to prepare at least four, and Meng Chuan prepared five for the sake of insurance, just in case it was not enough.
First of all, let's make assorted pineapple rice, first cut the pineapple in half, then dig out the pulp, put the pulp into the salt water to soak, as for the hollowed out pineapple shell can not be wasted, Meng Chuan uses this to make a bowl for rice, not only will not waste the ingredients, but also add a touch of color.
Then take out some ham and dice it for later use.
Finally, take out some of the rice, beat the raw eggs into the rice according to the amount of one egg per person, then add a little salt and stir well.
At this point, you can pour oil into the pan and start frying, pour in the evenly stirred egg rice in turn, then add the ham, just add a little bit of pineapple meat, and the rest of the pineapple meat is prepared for the next few dishes.
After the rice is cooked over high heat, it is served with pineapple shells, and an assorted pineapple rice is ready.
The second dish is the pineapple bacon roll, which requires bacon, pineapple strips, butter, and pepper.
This dish is very simple to make, first spread the bacon flat, then put pineapple strips on the bacon, roll it up and set aside.
Then heat the pan to melt the butter, if there is no butter, you can use cooking oil, you don't need too much oil, just spread a thin layer of oil on the pan surface.
Then put the pineapple bacon rolls in the pan and fry them, sprinkle with pepper and remove from the pan.
To fry pineapple bacon rolls, you actually only need to fry the bacon, because the pineapple itself can be eaten raw, as for the time to fry bacon, it is about two or three minutes, just like the paper barbecue we usually eat, bacon meat is very easy to cook, so there is no need to fry it for too long.
The third dish is caramel pineapple pie, this is a kind of dessert, if you like desserts, then it is best to try it, the taste is really good, first you have to melt some butter, and then add some flour to the butter, an egg, two or three spoons of white sugar stir into a paste, and set aside.
Then take some butter, two or three spoonfuls of sugar and a spoonful of honey and put them in a hot pan to boil for a while, the boiling time does not need to be very long, as long as it boils to a light red caramel color, you can turn off the heat.
Then pour the boiled caramel evenly on a plate, spread the batter on top of the caramel, spread it well, put a layer of pineapple slices on top of the batter, and then bake in the oven for 40 minutes, so that the caramel pineapple pie is complete.
If this dessert is more Western-style, then the fourth dessert, Golden Pineapple Ring, is definitely Chinese-style, because the ingredients do not use butter and do not use the oven, after all, butter and oven are not very common in ordinary Chinese families.
Since it is a dessert, it must use sugar, but this time Meng Chuan used not white sugar, but rock sugar, first pour some water into the pot, and then add pineapple slices and rock sugar to start cooking.
The pineapple itself is sweet and sour, and Meng Chuan's step is to eliminate the sourness of the pineapple, so that the pineapple is only sweet, so that it will be more delicious to eat.
The cooking time does not need to be too long, just control it within five minutes, and then remove it to dry.
A few eggs need to be prepared and beaten below. Then you also need to prepare some flour, if you have breadcrumbs it is better to have some breadcrumbs, if you don't have some breadcrumbs you can prepare some breadcrumbs, if you don't have breadcrumbs yet, then just eggs and flour can also be used.
Bread crumbs or breadcrumbs just make the fried pineapple rings more delicious, and even if they don't have them, they don't affect the dessert.
Then start an oil pan, put the dried pineapple slices into the egg liquid for a while, and then put them into the flour for a while, you can fry them in the oil pan, fry them until they are golden on both sides, and then you can take them out and control the dry oil and put them on the plate.
If you like to eat sweeter, you can sprinkle some sugar on top of the fried pineapple rings, if you can't eat too sweet, there is no need to sprinkle sugar, the first step itself has been to cook pineapple slices with rock sugar water, so I am not afraid of no sweetness.
The people in the cooking class were surprised to see Meng Chuan make four dishes with pineapple, but they didn't expect that one pineapple could make four dishes.
When squad leader Wang saw Meng Chuan's approach, he puffed up his thumbs, "Section Chief Meng, your first dish is assorted pineapple rice, it should be Cantonese cuisine, it is very particular about appearance, especially using pineapple shells to serve assorted pineapple rice, this is simply the finishing touch, and it makes people appetize at a glance." ”
Using pineapple shells to serve assorted rice is also Meng Chuan's own creation, but not to mention, using pineapple shells to serve assorted rice looks really beautiful.
