"The chicken of the three-cup chicken should be marinated first."

Nicholas Tse was still explaining to the camera: "Just marinate it a little with a little salt and a little pepper, and we can add a little sake to remove the smell of the chicken."

After stirring well, you can seal the chicken with black sesame oil, which will avoid the loss of moisture from the chicken. ”

Listening to his explanation, Li Yi cleared his throat and glanced at him.

Nicholas Tse heard the voice, looked back, and saw Li Yi looking at the three cups of sauce in front of him.

Looking down, Nicholas Tse didn't know why.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Li Yi could only remind: "Is there too much soy sauce?" It may taste salty. ”

"No, it won't."

Nicholas Tse smiled: "I don't put salt in this dish, and I use soy sauce to provide salt flavor." ”

“……”

Li Yi nodded, and patiently explained: "Season with soy sauce, you won't use so much soy sauce, otherwise you can pick another piece of chicken!" It should be about the same with so much soy sauce for two servings of chicken. ”

Hearing this, Nicholas Xie glanced at the chicken bones removed from the side, and shook his head: "It should be about the same, the soy sauce will not be completely attached to the chicken, and it will turn into soup when it is fried." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Yi couldn't help frowning slightly.

After thinking about it, Li Yi asked him, "Have you ever made this dish before?" ”

"Of course."

Hearing his questions one after another, Nicholas Tse was also a little displeased.

But after all, Li Yi helped him out of the siege just now, and he still patiently explained: "I have also done it on the show before, and the taste is very good, and everyone likes it." ”

Hearing his words, Li Yi didn't know what to say.

This is obviously twice as much soy sauce, how can it be delicious?

If Nicholas Tse just makes it and eats it himself, then he can do whatever he wants.

But he obviously wanted to use the [Three Cups' Chicken] he made as a restaurant product for diners outside.

In any restaurant, the chef is responsible for controlling the quality of the entire back of the kitchen.

This is related to the reputation of the restaurant, and it is directly related to the judgment of diners on the strength of the chef.

Therefore, Li Yi is responsible for every dish served out of the back kitchen.

A dish with obvious unbalanced seasoning, Li Yi definitely couldn't let it out.

Looking at the chicken in Nicholas Tse's wind basin, Li Yi patiently persuaded: "The three-cup chicken you made before was not deboned?" If that's the case, the amount of chicken is about the same, and it may be a little salty, but it's also good to eat.

But this boneless chicken is much less in quantity, and it is easy to absorb flavor and easy to make salty. ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Nicholas Tse couldn't help but hesitate.

He recalled that the three cups of chicken he made before seemed to be unboneless.

But the amount of chicken bones isn't that big, is it? And the bones can't taste good, huh?

After hesitating, he still shook his head: "I think it's okay, I sealed the chicken with oil, and it won't taste too much." ”

Seeing that he was still stiff-mouthed, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"So be it!"

Li Yi opened his mouth and proposed: "You make the Bay Province version of the three-cup chicken, I make a traditional Jiangxi version of the three-cup chicken, let's try the dish internally first, if your version is okay, let's make it according to your version, is it okay?" ”

"Yes."

This time, Nicholas Tse happily agreed.

He had learned this dish from artists in Bay Province on the show before, and he was still very confident in this dish.

Seeing that he agreed, Li Yi didn't say anything more, and took a three-yellow chicken and dealt with it.

Three times five divided by two, it didn't take a minute for Li Yi to unload two chicken legs and two chicken wings.

Quickly deboned and shaved off along with the meat on his back, Li Yi chopped the meat off with the same knife technique.

Chop the chicken into small pieces and put it in the water, Li Yi added some salt to the water, scratched and washed it, cleaned the internal blood stains, rinsed it with water, squeezed the water dry, and then put it in a basin on the side.

Afterwards, Li Yi went to the storage room, took out a jar of wine without a label, and put it on the desk.

When the seal of the wine jar is opened, a rich aroma of rice wine wafts out.

Li Yi took a bottle of wine and scooped out a few handfuls of pale orange-red wine from the jar.

"Three cups of chicken is a Ganzhou dish, and according to legend, it is the last dish that Wen Tianxiang ate before his execution after the failure of raising troops to resist the Yuan in Ganzhou Province."

Li Yi took three bowls and poured rice wine into one of them: "The ingredients for this dish are very simple, as the name suggests, it is three cups of sauce, one cup of wine, one cup of oil, and one cup of soy sauce.

Among these three sauces, wine is the most important, and the flavor of this dish is enhanced by wine.

According to the most traditional method, this dish is best made with Yangcun rice wine from Longnan, Ganzhou, which is the kind of wine I use.

To this day, this sake is still made according to the traditional process.

It has a strong flavor and a sweet aftertaste, so using it to make three-cup chicken will also have a clear flavor of rice wine, as well as a sweet aftertaste.

Needless to say, the oil is used for meat dishes, I have said it many times, I will use chicken fat to fry.

As for soy sauce, I use my own soy sauce, which has a higher concentration and higher flavor and saltiness, so I will only use 4% of the rice wine. ”

His last sentence was to leave a step for Nicholas Tse, and it would be good to be round later.

But after hearing his words, Nicholas Tse said with a smile: "So that's the case, I used light soy sauce, and the saltiness is okay." ”

“……”

Li Yi was a little helpless.

This big brother doesn't know how to go down the steps!

Perhaps because Li Yi's words restored his confidence, Nicholas Tse took a casserole, put it on the stove, and opened the fire, while explaining to the audience: "It is best to use a casserole to make three cups of chicken, and the method is also very simple, let's first prepare some ginger slices and garlic cloves while the casserole is hot."

I'll teach you a little trick to remove ginger slices, which is to use this ......"

As he spoke, he took a stainless steel spoon and scraped the ginger peel with the edge of the spoon: "Scrape it with a spoon like this, you can quickly remove the ginger peel, and it won't hurt your hands." ”

After the ginger and garlic cloves are processed, the casserole is already hot.

"Now that the casserole is hot, we can put the oil."

As he spoke, he poured the prepared black sesame oil into the pot.

Then, he picked up the sliced ginger and peeled garlic cloves, put them in the pot, and then covered the casserole, while explaining: "We can not wait for the oil to boil too hot before adding the seasoning, it may burst."

You can put the seasoning in first and then cover it so that you don't have to worry about getting burned. ”

Zila!

Li Yi also poured ginger slices and garlic cloves into the pot.

It's just that he uses a wok, and he waits until the oil is hot.

The residual moisture on the ginger slices and garlic cloves caused them to burst into oil spots when they came out of the pan.

Behind Nicholas Tse, the photographer he brought was shooting from the side.

The camera framed Li Yi and Nicholas Tse together at the same time, and their stoves were also among them.

The oil spots that burst slightly from the pot in front of Li Yi were clearly visible under the light.

And Nicholas Tse just held his hands and quietly looked at the casserole with the lid in front of him, the clouds were light and the wind was light.

Li Yi used a frying spoon to flip the water in the pan that had evaporated and began to turn brown, releasing fragrant ginger slices and garlic cloves, and then poured the prepared chicken into the pot.

Seeing Li Yi put down the meat, Nicholas Tse reached out and lifted the lid of the casserole unhurriedly.

Zila!

As soon as he lifted it, the condensed water vapor on the lid of the pot suddenly gathered into water droplets and fell into the pot due to the tilt angle.

When the water enters the hot oil, it suddenly bursts into a flake of oil.

Nicholas Tse only felt a pain in his wrist, and couldn't help but let go of his hand, and the casserole lid fell off his hand.

Boom!

The casserole lid fell on the desk, and then with a flick, it fell to the ground, and fell to pieces with a click.

Hearing the sound, Li Yi was not surprised.

When frying things, it is taboo to cover the lid, the moisture condenses, and it will collapse if it falls into the pan.

This big brother doesn't seem to understand!
