Chapter 529: Hot Smoke and Cold Smoke
"The amount of sugar you put in depends on the amount of smoked chicken."
Li Yi explained: "Twenty chickens are a pound of sugar, and here is just a pound." ”
As he spoke, he used a spatula to evenly pick up the white sugar at the bottom of the pot and reminded: "Remember, you must use white sugar, not white sugar." ”
"Sugar?"
Sun Li was stunned: "What kind of sugar is Mianbai sugar?" ”
"It's also a kind of white sugar, but it's finer than white sugar."
Zhao Jinmai on the side explained to her: "There is more cotton sugar in the north, and when we mix cold vegetables in the northeast or eat spicy hot, we will put cotton sugar, which may be relatively rare in the south." ”
"I really haven't seen it in the magic capital."
Sun Li asked curiously, "What does it taste like?" ”
"It feels a little sweeter than sugar...... I'll show you that. ”
Zhao Jinmai explained, suddenly thought of something, and ran to the spice cabinet to get a bag of white sugar.
In her hand, Sun Li was shocked by the feeling of the white sugar through the packaging bag: "It's really good!" How does it feel a bit like starch? ”
"Otherwise, how can it be called white sugar?"
Zhao Jinmai pointed to the opening and signaled: "You taste it, this sugar is sweeter and more delicious than ordinary white sugar." ”
Sun Li hesitated, but still opened the bag, pinched a small pinch of white sugar with her fingertips, raised her head and put it in her mouth.
"Huh? It tastes a little sweeter! ”
Sun Li looked at the packaging curiously. "Is it purer sugar than white sugar?"
"Not really."
Li Yi took another bag of white sugar for later use, and explained casually: "Cotton white sugar tastes sweeter because it has small particles and a lot of water, and it melts when you eat it.
White sugar has large particles, less moisture, and melts slowly, so the sweetness felt by the taste is relatively small.
However, it is also because the white sugar particles are small and melt quickly, so it is not suitable for sugar smoking.
It will seal more smoke, so that the sugar smoke cannot come out quickly, and the efficiency of sugar smoke is relatively low.
And because its particles are relatively small, the caramelization speed is also relatively fast, and it is easy to overcaramelize and produce a bitter taste.
Therefore, when making sugar smoking, it is best to use white sugar, and the effect is the best. ”
While speaking, Li Yi set up a shelf at the bottom of the pot and put the prepared twenty roast chickens on the shelf.
Covering the pot, Li Yi explained: "There are two methods of sugar smoking, one is hot smoking and the other is cold smoking.
Hot smoking is to heat the pot and then sprinkle the white sugar into it, so that the smoke will start immediately, and the lid will be closed to start smoking.
This method is used in bacon shops and is suitable for high-volume, high-efficiency smoked meat.
However, the meat smoked in this way will have a thicker taste, and there is no way to make a shallow smoked taste.
My way of boiling a cold pot belongs to cold smoking.
Although cold smoking is relatively slow, it can control the heat and smoke the effect of three stages: light smoke, regular smoke and deep smoke.
The color of the smoked meat in these three stages is also from dark to light, from light yellow to golden yellow to jujube red.
Usually smoked meat, smoked chicken, smoked golden brown is the most suitable, the color is good, and the taste is just right.
However, some people have a heavy population and also like the taste of this sugar smoke, so you can try to lean on the jujube red.
This is also the benefit of the cold smoking method, that is, the degree of smoking can be controlled. ”
Listening to Li Yi's words, Sun Li couldn't help but admire: "You really want to teach us to open a store!" ”
"Since I teach, I teach really, and I can be regarded as promoting employment."
Li Yi made a joke, and then started burning on a medium fire.
Just like the previous time he smoked, white smoke began to seep out of the pot, then the smoke began to turn yellow, and there was a sizzling sound in the pot.
"When you see yellow smoke coming out and hear this sound in the pot, you can turn off the heat."
Li Yi turned off the stove and explained: "Starting from the yellow smoke, turn on the pot in about ten seconds, and the effect of smoking is golden brown."
The longer it is smoked, the darker the color becomes, but remember not to continue to heat it up.
Now the sugar in the pot has been caramelized, but if it is reheated, the sugar should be carbonized, and the smoke will have no fragrance, and it will be full of charcoal, and it will cause cancer. ”
"It's too professional."
Sun Li looked at the notepad on her phone, which was already full of memories, and exclaimed: "I feel like I can really go back and open a roast chicken restaurant!" ”
In the live broadcast room, the audience also echoed it.
"Count me in!"
"I'm serious, Brother Yi should make a brand! Specializing in selling braised pork and roast chicken, I will definitely join! It's true! ”
"Brother Yi has said that he will not engage in franchise stores."
"Didn't that teach you everything? Anyway, I'm really going to try, I've been unemployed for two months, and if I don't find a job to do, I'm really going to sit on the mountain. ”
"You're all late, I've been out of the stall for the seventeenth day today, that is, selling braised meat, selling braised meat while watching the live broadcast, using the recipe I learned from Brother Yi, today's turnover has exceeded 1,000, haha!"
"! Really? Is it so easy to earn? ”
"Envy, the profit of braised pork has to be half, right? If you have a turnover of 1,000 a day, you have to have a profit of 500, and you have a proper monthly income of more than 10,000! ”
"Don't say 10,000, there can be 6,000 a month, I won't say anything in this class!"
"Shangqiu asked for a good sister to sell roast chicken at a stall together, and the profits were split in half."
"Count me in!"
Seeing that the audience in the live broadcast room really began to discuss the matter of cooperating with the stall, Li Yi hurriedly reminded: "I advise you to think carefully and don't try impulsively."
Opening the door to do business is not the same as cooking and eating at home, and doing business still depends on the location and operation, which is still different, so it is better to think carefully! ”
However, even with his painstaking persuasion, the audience in the comment area didn't bird him, just chatted with himself, and after a while, he had already made up more than a dozen stalls.
Seeing this, Li Yi could only reluctantly remind: "If you really want to set up a stall, then I will teach you a trick, after smoking, it is best to put it in the oven and bake it for another thirty seconds."
In this way, the grease can seep out another layer of oil film, making the roast chicken more oily and preserving for a longer time. ”
Hearing Li Yi's reminder, the audience in the live broadcast room posted barrage ridicule.
"Brother Yi is so interesting!"
"It's so useful! Noted down! ”
"Thank you to my brother Yi for teaching me!"
"Haha! Brother Yi, don't worry, when I earn money, I'll come to brush you with a big rocket! ”
Looking at the surging barrage, Sun Li smiled and quipped: "Brother Yi, it seems that your [Li's Roast Chicken] is going to be carried forward!" ”
Li Yi looked at the happy barrage one after another, and also let go of the worries in his heart.
If he can really help some unemployed people at home find a way to make a living, then he can be regarded as doing a good thing.
This belongs to the real art of benefiting people.
After realizing this, Li Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will simply teach you to cook another big dish." ”
"What's the big dish?"
Jiang Xin on the side asked curiously.
Li Yi took out a plucked duck from the basin on the side, put it on the desk, and explained casually: "[Eight Treasure Gourd Duck]! ”
