Chapter 159: An Jie's Big Belly
Goodo...... Before she knew it, Kassandra swallowed a little.
It's so fragrant, I didn't notice it just now, this chicken is really fragrant.
Although Kassandra had eaten a lot of dishes made with ginger embers with amazing aromas before.
But this crystal chicken only exudes the aroma of the chicken itself, without a trace of excess miscellaneous flavor.
The pure, yet intensely present fragrance is reminiscent of the snow scattered across the earth in winter.
With such a strong aroma, it can be said that it completely breaks the perception of ordinary people about chicken.
Since it is already so fragrant just by smelling it with your nose, if you take a bite...... Not!
Thinking of this, Kassandra couldn't hold back any longer, and directly waved her chopsticks to put the golden chicken with skin in her mouth.
Click, who knew that this meal made the female knight experience a new taste realm.
The first thing you feel when you chew the golden chicken with skin in your mouth is the crispy texture of the chicken skin.
The crystal-like skin of the chicken skin is actually crispy when bitten, and when cut by the teeth, it will be crisp in the mouth.
Ordinary chicken skin tastes soft and tumble, but this chicken skin is not only thick and crispy, but it is really pleasant to eat.
As soon as you bite into the skin, the chicken is so tender that it seems to be able to squeeze out juice, and a lot of juice quickly gushes out.
And at that moment, the sticky golden sauce that enveloped the chicken melted in the mouth, releasing an incredibly strong chicken flavor.
Originally, the biggest problem with chicken compared to duck, goose, partridge and other poultry was that the flavor was not outstanding enough.
The meat of these poultry species has a very unique flavor and can be eaten with a strong flavor.
But the vast majority of poorly farmed chicken in the world has no taste and relies on seasoning during cooking to make up for it, so it's no wonder it's delicious.
Of course, most of the chicken doesn't taste good, what does it have to do with my black feather chicken?
In particular, the black-feathered chickens in the "Old Gentleman's Poultry and Animal Shop" grew up eating the seeds of the dragon's heather.
What's that? The Ten Perfect Tonic Pills are nothing more than that, can the chicken that grew up eating the Ten Perfect Tonic Pills have a bad flavor.
So after taking the first bite, Kassandra was immersed in this golden delicacy.
How can it be? Is chicken such a strong food?
What exactly are the ones I used to eat...... What if I can't eat such delicious chicken in the future......
Her eyes were lost as she tasted the chicken in her mouth as if she had found a treasure, as if she were out of her body.
In fact, when Kassandra was the first to make a move, the others were also quietly looking at her.
So much so that looking at this exaggerated scene, the audience couldn't help but be silent, as if they were stunned by the movements of this female knight.
After watching it for a while, An Jie couldn't help but complain:
"It's just a chicken, don't be so exaggerated."
But having said that, she quickly picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender chicken thigh meat and threw it into her mouth.
Whoop! This is!
At the moment of entrance, An Jie also showed a look as if she was about to soar.
Because she never imagined that chicken could be made to such an incredible extent.
Needless to say, the basic adjectives such as crispy skin and tender meat are self-explanatory.
What surprised An Jie the most was the strange smell wafting in the chicken.
Especially the part that sticks to the bone quilt and is still slightly red.
The flavor that blends in with the flavor of the chicken itself, but is slightly different, is even more pronounced.
After perceiving this, An Jie couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jiang Yan who was standing aside with a smile, and frowned:
"What's that smell? What did you do with the chicken?"
"I didn't do anything, I just added a little peanut oil, soy sauce, salt and turmeric powder."
"Just a little seasoning?"
"That's it, because the chicken itself is very fresh, and too much seasoning will only detract from its taste."
In fact, there is still a lot of attention to the skill of seasoning.
Some heavy-tasting chefs may feel that the more seasonings the better, and the more layers of flavor the better.
In this regard, Chef Ah San, whom Jiang Ember once saw, is a model.
The chef on Ah San's side is simply a walking human meat seasoning machine, eager to eat the seasoning as a dish.
A pot of stewed meat comes down, and a third of it is full of all kinds of messy seasonings, and there is a periodic table alive.
But in Jiang Yan's eyes, the purpose of seasoning is to bring out the most appropriate flavor of the ingredients, and the emphasis is on the words "just right".
If the ingredient itself has a bad smell, then you should really take care to get rid of it.
But if the ingredients themselves are all good, then there is no need to add too much seasoning.
This "Steamed Crystal Chicken" is a model dish of this seasoning concept, which belongs to the ultimate in "natural carving".
In order to thoroughly reflect the aroma of the chicken itself, ginger embers only use the simplest three seasonings: oil, salt, and soy sauce.
Extremely small amounts of turmeric powder are essentially meant to add a golden color and are not reflected in the flavor.
It's just a matter of carefully spreading these simple seasonings on the whole chicken and steaming it on a large plate.
Such a simple method can basically be regarded as a home-cooked dish that can be made with your hands.
But also because of the simplicity, without excessive steps and seasoning.
In order to be able to reflect the strong flavor of the black feather chicken itself, which is superior to all chickens.
At the same time, because of the simplicity of the method, this dish is particularly tested by the selection of ingredients themselves.
If you choose poor quality chicken, no matter how good the chef is, it will not be able to turn things around.
Of course, when that time comes, Ginger Ember will choose a heavier cooking method.
For example, the chicken is marinated or braised and a lot of seasoning is added to the chicken to make up for the shortage.
It is absolutely impossible to take poor quality chicken and steam it like this, it would be a shame.
Therefore, the biggest credit for making this "steamed black feather chicken" so delicious is not actually the chef.
It's the old gentleman who raised such good chicken...... and the dragons that are pulling all over the ground.
With such a delicious dish, the big guy naturally enjoyed it after eating.
"Ah! Really, the chicken tastes so good, and the skin is slippery, like a mushroom."
"It's true that although I don't like chicken very much, this dish is perfectly acceptable."
"It's delicious, ahhhh
While tasting this simple but not simple "steamed crystal chicken", everyone chatted with laughter.
At that moment, the conflicts and confrontations in the recreation room seemed to have all become a thing of the past.
In front of Jiang Ash, they once again presented a natural state that was indistinguishable from before.
And Jiang Yan walked over and patted An Jie's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"How? This chicken still tastes good, right?"
"Hmph...... It's so-so, barely able to eat."
An Jie said with a hard mouth while eating the meat in a big gulp.
Jiang Yan likes her hard mouth the most, because An Jie's hard mouth makes people want to tease her.
So, Jiang Yan whispered in her ear:
"Actually, there is a hidden way to eat this dish, do you want to try it?"
"Hidden ways to eat? What do you mean?"
"Of course...... That's it."
In front of An Jie, Jiang Ember picked up the plate in front of her and poured the extra sauce from the plate onto the rice.
Golden
The sauce looked like some kind of gum and fell on top of the hot rice.
It felt like a golden glow covering the top of the snow-capped mountain.
For a while, the strong aroma of chicken and the aroma of rice blended together.
An Jie couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, picked up the rice bowl, and poured the golden and white feast on it into her mouth.
At that moment, the pure white nun's face was filled with a happy smile.
Originally, the rice cooked in the monastery was top-notch, sweet, soft, and glutinous, with distinct grains, and you couldn't stop eating it at all.
Such a good rice and a strong chicken juice can be said to have a completely one-plus-one effect that is greater than two.
The most important thing is...... Readily.
Let the rich broth envelop each grain of rice, then take a big gulp and pull it into your mouth.
It's a refreshing feeling that is even more addictive than when you eat meat.
So much so that in the blink of an eye, the rice in Anjie's rice bowl had disappeared without a trace.
She looked at Jiang Yan, who was standing next to her and grinning, and said without hesitation:
"One more bowl! No, three more bowls!"
"Three bowls? How about a pot for you?"
"That's not good, it's too ugly, it's detrimental to my elegant temperament."
As soon as she heard that An Jie dared to mention her temperament, Jiang Yan couldn't help but flick it on her head, but she still turned around and went to fill her with food
And several other people saw that An Jie was eating chicken juice and rice so happily, and they also tried it, and it tasted excellent.
This storm went down, and naturally all the food on the table was swept away.
"Whew...... I'm full."
When An Jie closed her eyes and leaned lazily on the chair with her slightly bulging belly.
Her extremely satisfied appearance makes people feel better when they look at it.
However, Lannassel obviously wouldn't let Anjie be so comfortable.
So she looked at An Jie's slightly bulging little belly, and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Hehe, look at your belly, I don't know...... I thought I was pregnant."
Originally, this was just a normal joke.
With the relationship between Lanna Ser and An Jie, there are countless times when the two usually tease each other like this.
But just after these words, An Jie's face changed slightly, and she quickly sat up straight from the chair and withdrew her slightly bulging belly.
No way, who let the word "pregnant" put it to the present is somewhat sensitive to everyone.
Even An Jie, a big grinning type, is difficult to laugh at this.
Regarding the sudden silence at the dinner table, Jiang Yan was naturally aware of it.
Of course, he also knows why this happens.
But despite this, this is not a topic that Jiang Ember can take the initiative to touch.
He could only act as if he hadn't heard anything.
Then the dessert was silently served to everyone, and finally the dinner that was a little embarrassing at the end of the meal ended.
