Chapter 156: The Eighth Course. Steamed crystal chicken

As Lannathel was in the recreation room talking to the crowd about the "good news" and the "great news."

Jiang Yan returned to his long-lost kitchen and prepared to start working.

It's dusk, and dinner is about to begin.

As Jiang Ember pushed the door and walked in, Mrs. Wei Qi and Curti, who were originally busy inside, also quickly stood up.

"Chef Jiang, you're finally back."

"Brother Jiang Ash, you're back! Great, hahahaha."

Compared with Mrs. Weiqi's subtlety, Curtie was obviously happy.

After all, with Jiang Ember in the kitchen, it is equivalent to the combat power of ten more people.

So much so that a cook like Curtie basically doesn't have to do anything.

This ginger chef can get the job done quickly on his own, which makes it a lot easier.

After saying hello to the two, Jiang Yan looked at the situation on the stove and said with a smile:

"I haven't prepared the main course tonight, so I'll leave it to me."

At the charcoal stove next to it, the rice in the casserole gives off a mouth-watering aroma.

To go well with such a good rice, you have to have an oversized main dish.

You know, the rice in the monastery is not just steamed and steamed, but has a lot of exquisiteness.

The first is a casserole made of sand and clay to steam the rice, which transfers heat evenly and dissipates heat slowly.

The pores of the pot are dense, which is conducive to the mutual penetration of internal moisture and food, and the steamed rice is particularly fragrant and soft.

In addition to the pot for steaming rice, the rice and water used by Ginger Ember are also superb.

Although the rice varieties in this world are much worse than in the original world.

However, as long as you can get enough of them, you can make a good mix of rice from them.

So Jiang Ember mixed three different types of rice in the right proportions, so that the rice reached a perfect state.

The first type of rice is "desert fragrant rice", which is a rare variety that can only be found in desert areas, and the rice has a slender grain, transparent appearance, and increases in length when cooked, giving it a very good taste and aroma.

The second type of rice is "Seonghe Rice", which has a bright sheen, like the glaze on porcelain, and although it tastes almost tasteless, it slides down naturally once you eat it, as if you are massaging your mouth and esophagus.

The third type of rice is "woodland pearl rice", which is a common rice in the night song generation, which is fluffy when cooked, soft but not sticky, and exudes an appetizing aroma with a slightly sweet taste.

Each of these three rice varieties has its own unique advantages, and when blended, it makes up for their own shortcomings.

Plus steamed rice with stream water taken out of the stream outside that is rich in holy energy.

The steamed rice is so delicious that you can eat a large bowl without a side dish.

Wouldn't it be amazing to have such a good rice with a delicious black feather chicken?

So under the gaze of Mrs. Wei Qi and Curtie, Jiang Ember also began to deal with the four chickens he brought back.

The black feather chicken is not a loss, and it is a well-known top-grade chicken breed in this world.

The combs of the two chickens on Jiang Ye's hands are slightly convex and naturally bright red in color.

The pores are visibly raised, the skin is shiny, and the breast and thigh parts are also very firm.

Seeing Jiang Yan, he put the two chickens in a large basin of water and washed them carefully.

Remove the remaining chicken fat, internal organs, and chicken blood, and then put it on a hanging basket next to it and start to dry naturally.

Curtie couldn't help but lean over curiously and asked:

"Brother Jiang Ash, this chicken looks good, what are you going to cook something delicious?"

In fact, according to the habits of the inhabitants of this world, most of the chicken is grilled or stewed.

But since it was Jiang Yan who did it, the finished product must be extraordinary, and it is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Jiang Yan took out his own refining from the small cabinet on the side

peanut oil, while laughing:

"I'm going to make a 'steamed crystal chicken' today to make sure you eat even the bones clean."

In the case of cooking non-sacred dishes, ginger ash will generally make a few more servings when cooking.

In addition to giving the five sealers and themselves to enjoy, it also allowed Lady Weiqi and the maids to have something to eat.

After all, everyone is an unlucky companion locked up in the monastery, and if there is good food, they must be enjoyed together.

But after hearing the words steamed crystal chicken, Mrs. Wei Qi and Curty also showed puzzled looks.

Steamed...... Is there still such a way to take the chicken and steam it?

Speaking of which, steaming was a cooking method that almost didn't exist before this world.

Since the ginger ember came, he made a large steamer out of bamboo, and usually steamed some steamed buns and snacks.

But when this kind of chicken is steamed, can it really taste so good that people can't even wash the bones clean?

Under the curious gaze of the two, Jiang Ember put the dried whole chicken into a large copper plate.

Only then did he apply his own refined special peanut oil, rose salt, turmeric powder, and homemade soy sauce to the whole chicken.

The process of spreading the sauce is done very carefully, and even the belly of the chicken is coated with several simple seasonings mixed with peanut oil.

"Curti, add water to the steamer and bring to a boil."

"Huh? Be! Right away!"

With Jiang Ember's order, Curti also hurriedly filled up the water under the large steamer, added the charcoal fire to make it boil.

When all the water in the steamer was boiling, Jiang Ember put the large copper plate containing four whole chickens into it.

"Okay, wait for the next eighteen minutes, then take it out and change the knife, put it on the plate, and collect the juice."

"That's it...... That's it? It's as simple as that?"

I have to say that this "steamed crystal chicken" recipe is really an eye-opener for Mrs. Weiqi.

It's not that the dish is so difficult, it's that the dish is so simple that it's too simple to understand.

It is to clean up the chicken, smear it with a few simple seasonings, and put it whole in the steaming drawer to steam.

This...... Is it really delicious to make such a simple method?

For Lady Vicky and Curtie who had never tasted the delicious Crystal Chicken, it was hard to imagine how delicious this dish was.

But Jiang Ember has eaten crystal chicken countless times, so he naturally knows that this dish is one of the best practices to reflect the deliciousness of the chicken itself.

Among the classic Cantonese cuisine system, there is a classic dish that is famous all over the country called "white cut chicken".

White-cut chicken is very popular in the Liangguang area, and it is considered to be the most authentic way to eat.

Put the whole chicken into the white brine three times and then slowly soak it at low temperature.

The white-cut chicken skin is crispy and tender, and it is a great pleasure to eat it with green onion and ginger soy sauce.

However, compared to white-cut chicken, Jiang Ember prefers the "crystal chicken" with a more concentrated flavor.

The ingredients of Crystal Chicken are as simple as White-cut Chicken, but the taste and texture are very different.

Because the chicken is soaked in water, some of the flavor is lost to the white brine soup in which the chicken is soaked, resulting in a decrease in the flavor of the chicken.

Crystal chicken, on the other hand, is steamed to retain the original flavor of all the chicken itself, and does not require dipping.

In terms of seasoning, in order to bring out all the flavors of the chicken itself, simply stuff the chicken belly with green onion and ginger, and simply apply peanut oil, soy sauce and salt.

If you have turmeric powder or salt-baked chicken powder, you can also apply a little to make the skin more golden and look more delicious.

But for these freshly killed black-feathered chickens in Jiang Ash's hands that don't have any peculiar smell at all.

He didn't even need to add green onions and ginger, just smeared the seasoning and threw it in and steamed it.

As Curty and Lady Vicky were puzzled, eighteen minutes passed slowly.

wait

As soon as the time came, Jiang Ember immediately opened the steaming drawer and took out all the whole chickens inside.

According to the standard of specialization, steamed chicken should be steamed until it is nine years old.

The bones of this ripeness are reddish, the skin is crispy, and the meat is tender and juicy.

And the moment you open the steamer, an enticing fragrance has already filled the entire kitchen with the clouds.

Good...... It smells so good! Is chicken so fragrant?

Although they hadn't eaten yet, they just smelled it, but Lady Vicky and Curty couldn't help but drool.

The strong flavor of chicken umami jumped between the nose and mouth, and the aroma was far superior to any meat the two had eaten before.

So much so that even poultry such as duck and goose, which are considered to be stronger, cannot compare to this simply steamed crystal chicken in terms of taste.

Just as the two of them were overwhelmed by this strange fragrance that they had never smelled before.

Jiang Yan had already quickly put the whole chicken on the board specially used to handle cooked food, and then poured out all the chicken juice in the large copper plate.

After steaming four chickens at the same time, a large amount of chicken bones and chicken oozing soup were naturally left in the copper plate.

The golden soup exudes a delicious flavor, but it still doesn't have the consistency that Ginger wants it to be.

So he poured all the chicken juice into the wok next to him, and heated it up, so that the delicacy inside began to concentrate further.

At the same time, the final process of making this crystal chicken also appeared in Jiang Yan's hands.

Swish! Before Lady Vicky could figure out what was going on with Curti.

I saw a flash of red light in front of me, and a large piece of chicken with chicken skin flew directly from the whole chicken in front of me.

The chicken peeled off in an instant after swinging its razor-sharp blade, like a leaf peeling off a tree.

This...... What kind of knife technique is this! Is it something that can be done by people?

When Ember picked up the "Blade of Love" and began to peel off the chicken, Mrs. Wei Qi and Curtie couldn't help but be stunned.

Every time a warm red light flashes, a part of the skin and flesh of the whole chicken will be easily peeled off.

The most terrifying thing is that the shape of the chicken is almost exactly the same as the curvature of the bone to which it is attached.

As Jiang Yan's blade continued to slash, a complete skeleton with almost no chicken residue was also presented in the eyes of the two.

The steamed whole chicken is deboned without leaving a little minced meat on top, which is also surprisingly fast.

One minute? No, it only took about forty seconds at most, and it was amazing.

Because it all seemed so unbelievable, when Jiang Ember laid out the first plate of chicken and poured the condensed chicken juice on top.

The two cooks in the kitchen didn't seem to have come to their senses, just staring at the clean chicken rack with hellish eyes......
