Dapan chicken is a very common dish in modern times, and it is always preceded by the words "new and Xinjiang", but strictly speaking, it is not an authentic new and Xinjiang cuisine, but a combination of new, Xinjiang cuisine and Sichuan cuisine.

Because of the vast territory and abundant materials in Xinjiang and Xinjiang, after the reform and opening up, many Sichuan people went to Xinjiang and Xinjiang. As Sichuan people with the famous cuisine of Sichuan cuisine, they are quite good at eating, and dare to eat, in order to eat economically and in line with their own taste, so they studied with the locals, and finally created a large plate of chicken that later swept the country and went abroad.

To make an authentic large plate of chicken, it is necessary to prepare belt noodles.

The belt noodles are actually the common braised noodles in Henan in later generations, and it is not troublesome to make.

Liu Jiaojiao first found a clean empty basin, poured in an appropriate amount of flour, then added some salt and oil, and added some water, and then began to knead the dough.

In order to ensure the gluten taste of the noodles, you can't add too much water at one time, you have to add it little by little, and when you feel that the noodles are almost kneaded, you can't continue to add water, otherwise the noodles will be sticky, and you have to add flour to remix.

Without plastic wrap, she wraps the kneaded dough in specially prepared mesh and allows it to rise quietly for 15 minutes, a process we often call resting.

When the dough is ready, she smears a layer of oil on the board, then rolls the dough with a rolling pin into a rectangular shape of a cake, about twice the thickness of the dumpling wrapper, then greases the rolled dough again, folds it and cuts it into small pieces about a centimeter long with a knife.

Then it was time to put her skills to the test, and she had to open up these small pieces and use her waist and wrist strength to stretch them into lasagna, which was somewhat like the belts worn around the waists of men in this era, but not so wide.

Liu Shugen and the others in the back kitchen almost stared at Liu Jiaojiao's every move, without blinking their eyes, for fear of missing something.

In their hearts, the young chef is simply the reincarnation of the kitchen god, and every time he watches her cooking, it is simply a pleasure.

Obviously, the noodles haven't been put into the pot yet, so Liu Shugen couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "This noodle looks delicious." ”

Liu Jiaojiao gave him a funny look and said, "This noodle was eaten with soup after you finished eating the chicken, and you can't eat it now." ”

A guy also swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Boss, is it really only for him to eat?" Can I try it when the dish is ready? I can skip the chicken and eat a few noodles. ”

Without waiting for Liu Jiaojiao to reply, Liu Shugen refused without hesitation: "Think beautifully, Jiaojiao said that this is made for me alone, and I won't give it to anyone!" I want to eat and wait for next time, you guys! ”

Another guy deliberately laughed and teased: "It's okay if you don't give us food, but isn't it you who is the shopkeeper?" If he wants to eat it, you won't give it? ”

Hearing this, Liu Shugen hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head categorically: "Although the calf is my brother, the brother is valuable, and the price of food is higher, don't give it, resolutely don't give it!" ”

Liu Jiaojiao laughed directly.

This sentence was used by her last time to ridicule the willow root for being too protective of food, and at that time he swore that he would never sacrifice his brother because of the food, but it was only a few days, and he went back on his word directly, and dared to show this as an excuse.

This second goods, there is no one.

The best choice for the chicken of the large plate of chicken is the three yellow chicken, fortunately, the ingredients in the kitchen are very rich, so Liu Jiaojiao directly asked the kitchen to choose a three-pound one, cut the throat and bleed and remove the hair to remove the impurities of the internal organs, she cut the chicken into large pieces of chicken pieces and put them on a plate for later use.

When chopping the chicken, she also deliberately asked the willow root if she wanted to keep the chicken fart and stock, and the willow root frowned into a twist when she heard the words, and shook her head busily, disgusted so much that she didn't want it.

Liu Jiaojiao happily chopped off the chicken farts and strands and threw them away, and then said in a tone with a hint of regret: "Tree roots, I thought you were quite good at eating, but I didn't expect you to be a tyrannical thing." ”

"What do you mean? You don't think that stinky chicken fart and stock are good things, right? Jiaojiao, that's absolutely impossible! Liu Shugen felt that she was deliberately coaxing herself, and she was determined not to be fooled.

"Chicken fart, stock is also called chicken tip, there is an old saying called 'rather than Jinshan, not chicken tip', as long as the dirty things inside can be used to make dishes, fried, braised can be, people in some places in the south are good at this, in the local area is a famous dish!"

"Really? Is there anyone else who is good about this? Is that a famous dish? Mom, are those people hungry? ”

"Hehe, the world is big, there are no surprises, people in southern Xinjiang still like to eat all kinds of poisonous insects, centipedes, spiders, these things we can't avoid, in their opinion, it is a plate of good dishes, it is said that the highest specification they use to entertain guests is to put a table of whole insect feast."

Liu Jiaojiao used hot oil to fry peppercorns, while talking about these strange dishes that the big guys had never heard of, and almost everyone was fascinated by it, and they discussed it gossipily.

"My God, I only know that poisonous snakes can be eaten, but I didn't expect centipedes to be able to eat them, what kind of taste is that?"

"It doesn't matter what it tastes like, I won't eat it anyway, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it."

"I've heard people say that the people in southern Xinjiang are very weird, it turns out that it's true, even the food is so strange."

Liu Shugen did not participate in their discussion, but looked at Liu Jiaojiao with a curious expression and asked, "Jiaojiao, you obviously haven't been to Southern Xinjiang, how can you know these things?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao was slightly stunned, and explained with a smile: "These are all what I read from the book, didn't the master of the academy teach you a word?" There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book! ”

Liu Shugen shook his head and said: "This sentence has not been taught by the master, but it sounds very reasonable, and it is much better than the crepe words that the master said!" ”

Ouch hey, isn't there such a phrase in this era? Girl, she didn't speak through her brain again.

Fortunately, there are no people in this group of people in the back kitchen who have never read books, so I just think that the owner is extremely powerful, not only excellent cooking, but also so knowledgeable, look, they can all export chapters, no less than those who read!

Everyone can't help but feel a little sorry, but it's a pity that the owner is a woman, if she is a man, with her ability, the world-famous chef can do it, and she can also get fame and enter the office, she is simply a top talent.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

Liu Jiaojiao didn't care about everyone's opinions at all, but continued to concentrate on cooking.

At this time, she had almost stirred the chicken pieces, the moisture in the chicken had been completely dried, the pot was basically pure oil, and the chicken had turned a beautiful golden brown.

The fragrance has come out, permeating the entire back kitchen, Liu Shugen, the greedy one, is swallowing saliva, if he is not afraid that he will be patted by Liu Jiaojiao when he reaches out, he will definitely ignore the high temperature in the pot, first scoop up a chicken nugget and taste the taste.

Fortunately, the back kitchen is closed, so the fragrance can't reach the front hall, otherwise it is estimated that even those diners who are eating will have to ask what good dishes they are making.

Liu Jiaojiao put a little soy sauce and a spoonful of homemade bean paste in the pot, then added chopped green onions, flattened garlic, ginger, dried chilies, and cinnamon, star anise, and bay leaves bought from the pharmacy, and began to stir-fry back and forth.

In this era, these modern common ingredients used for cooking are all medicinal materials, and no one will use them to cook at all, if it weren't for the fact that a few days ago I saw her make a bowl of fragrant braised pork with the ingredients, no one would have thought that these medicinal materials could be used to cook, and the taste is so good.

This is also the reason why Qingxinfang's dishes can attract countless diners, not to mention Liu Jiaojiao's open cooking skills, these cooking techniques and ingredients can be said to be the only one in the world.

After stir-frying for about five minutes, Liu Jiaojiao began to add water to the pot, this water is also particular, not too big, just just over the chicken, if the water is too much, it will dilute the taste of the chicken, and it will affect the final taste.

When the water is boiling, she pours the sliced potato pieces the size of the chicken pieces into the pot, stirs them well with the chicken, and then simmers them on high heat for 6 or 7 minutes, then on low heat for 10 minutes.

The chicken of the three yellow chickens is easy to cook, the meat is tender, and the reason why it has to be stewed for so long is to make the chicken more flavorful.

When the soup in the pot is almost absorbed by the chicken pieces and potatoes, Liu Jiaojiao puts in the green peppers cut into chunks, stir-fry them again, and prepare them to come out of the pot.

At this time, there is no need to put salt to taste, bean paste and soy sauce are salty, especially bean paste, which is a seasoning with a heavy taste, if you put salt again, this dish will definitely be salty.

Put in the minced garlic before cooking, and then put it on a plate, and the fragrant large plate of chicken is basically formed.

Liu Shugen was already impatiently reaching out to grab the chicken, but was slapped away by Liu Jiaojiao's merciless slap, looked at her aggrievedly, and pouted: "Jiaojiao, didn't you say that if you have this dish, you will give me one to eat?" It's all done, why don't I eat it? ”

Liu Jiaojiao explained helplessly: "The noodles haven't been put in yet, the big plate chicken without belt noodles has no soul, and it is not an authentic big plate chicken at all, you wait a while!" ”

After that, she first put the chicken pieces and potatoes into an empty bowl, then poured the belt noodles that she had arranged for the cook to be cooked into the soup, stirred well, and poured the chicken pieces and potatoes back on top of the noodles.

The white noodles, green green peppers, light yellow potatoes, golden chicken nuggets, and the rich aroma that makes you want to eat it.

"The big plate of chicken is ready, let's eat it slowly!" Liu Jiaojiao took out a pair of clean chopsticks from the chopstick basket on the side and handed them to the willow roots that were about to "fly down three thousand feet".

In the envious and hateful eyes of everyone, Liu Shugen smiled like a fool, and he didn't care how hot the big bowl of vegetables was, so he held the bowl bigger than his head tightly with both hands, and ran to his special corner to squat and eat.

"Ah, it's delicious! I'm definitely the happiest person in the world! ”

Hearing Liu Shugen's words, and then feeling the complaining eyes cast by everyone, the corners of Liu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched, and she silently decided that she could never make this kind of promise in the future.
