Chapter 299 Spicy Chicken (1)

Because I ate the crispy pork belly, I was really shocked. It will definitely be popular among the students in the Imperial College and the guards and officials in Dali Temple for a while. I got it from Zhuangzi today.

Those few pieces of pork belly are not enough to make tomorrow’s crispy pork belly, let alone the side dishes.

Ji Caimai thought about it, and then used the pork belly that was originally used to make braised pork into snacks. In this way, the only ingredients for lunch were some vegetables and chicken.

Wen Mingtang also felt that the braised pork and pork belly were both made from the same ingredient. The "Second Senior Brother" was really hurt today, so it would be better to use another ingredient to share some of the pressure. So today's lunch is a meat dish.

So I used chicken instead.

The ingredients delivered to Zhuangzi are naturally fresh, and this chicken is no exception. Wen Mingtang took a freshly slaughtered chicken and gave a demonstration to Ah Bing: "Cut it into small pieces. It will be smaller than when you make a large plate of chicken."

.”

Then the chicken nuggets are really not that big! Ah Bing gestured with his hands to show the size, turned around and winked at the glutinous rice balls peeling peanuts behind him, and said: "Master Wen's chicken dish today is probably a delicate dish. This one

Small pieces, small pieces... The old man has a big mouth, I'm afraid he can swallow several pieces in one mouthful!"

The glutinous rice dumpling peeled the peanuts in his hand, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, pointed to a pile of dried chili peppers aside, and said: "More than being careful, I will cut off the seeds of these dried chili peppers later, and I heard Master Wen say that all of them must be added to the chicken nuggets."

It’s in the meat dishes!”

When Ah Bing heard this, his hand when cutting the chicken suddenly froze. He looked at the large plate of dried chili peppers on the glutinous rice balls and instinctively took a breath: "So many dried chili peppers went into the meat and vegetables?"

Tangyuan nodded and said: "In the past few days, everyone has been clamoring that they can eat spicy food! I just happened to use this spicy chicken to see if everyone can really eat spicy food." As he said this, he took a sip of saliva.

.

However, Master Wen said that compared to the authentic version, this spicy chicken is a "reduced spiciness" version. It has more chicken and less pepper, but it is spicier than the dishes that people eat at Dali Temple on weekdays.

After Ah Bing cut the chicken and washed away the blood, Wen Mingtang added onion, ginger, starch, salt, pepper, wine and other condiments, seasoned the chicken well, and finally sealed it with oil and set it aside.

While the chicken was being marinated, Wen Mingtang came to help the glutinous rice balls with the ingredients. He put the peeled peanuts into the oil pan and sauteed until fragrant. He cut the peppers and sieved them to remove the seeds. After everything was ready, Wen Mingtang walked to the pot and started

Make a dish called Spicy Chicken.

First pour oil into the pot, put the marinated chicken pieces into the oil pot to set and fry again, then remove and set aside.

Then he took the pot up again and added peppercorns, green onions, and ginger. Wen Mingtang took the seeded dried chili peppers in his hand, looked up at A Bing and Tangyuan who were watching her movements and memorizing the steps, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.

He smiled and said, "Are you ready?"

Preparation? Preparation for what? The two of them stared wide-eyed, confused. At this moment, Wen Mingtang shook his hand and poured all the seeded dried chili peppers into the oil.

As soon as the dried chili peppers enter the sea of ​​oil, a large amount of oil bubbles surge out like a tide. Along with the large amount of oil bubbles, there is a strong and extremely fragrant aroma.

The spicy and overbearing aroma of chili peppers has been "trained" by Wen Mingtang for more than half a year, and everyone is already familiar with it. But this is the first time that such a large amount of chili peppers collide with the sea of ​​oil.

The spicy flavor that was completely stimulated by the oil was so strong and overbearing that it swept over people, making them feel itchy and unbearable, and they had a vague urge to sneeze. Along with the spicy flavor, there were also oily pans rising up everywhere.

White smoke.

The "clouds and mist" in front of the stove were like a "wonderland". Ah Bing and Tangyuan, who were originally following Wen Mingtang and carefully memorizing the recipes, were so frightened that they retreated far behind the countertop and kept holding handkerchiefs.

Cover your nose and sneeze.

Even Ji Caimai, who was settling accounts behind the takeout stall, couldn't bear the pungent smell. He sneezed twice and walked to the stage to look at Wen Mingtang, who was calm and unmoving in the "clouds".

Wen Mingtang, who was frying spicy chicken with a spatula in the "Wonderland", seemed to have noticed Ji Caimai's gaze, and turned around to look at Ji Caimai. Ji Caimai raised his thumb and made a "praise" gesture to her, and immediately turned around.

He ran out of the kitchen to get some fresh air.

Also running out together were Ah Bing and Tang Yuan, who couldn't resist it. Even with such a spicy taste, he could still remain calm and composed. Master Wen really has the "chef style"!

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Wen Mingtang had no choice but to shake his head. While continuing to stir-fry, he added chicken and minced garlic and stir-fry quickly. Seeing that it was almost done, he finally added salt, sugar, peanuts, sesame seeds and other ingredients and took it out of the pot.

The spicy chicken that had just come out of the pot was still steaming a lot, and there were even tiny bubbles of oil on the surface of the golden chicken pieces. Along with one or two "sizzling" sounds of oil coming out, the red peppers also appeared.

Peanut petals are interspersed among them, and white sesame seeds are dotted among them. They are wrapped on the surface of the golden chicken pieces with fine bubbles of oil, and the eyes of those who look at it are bright.

Because it is a dish fried in a wide amount of oil, the surface of the ingredients is covered with an attractive sheen of oil. Just looking at it will make people's fingers lick, not to mention the aroma of chicken, chili, sesame and other spices that are thoroughly stimulated.

.

Just now, Ji Caimai was forced to retreat outside the public kitchen by the strong and choking oil smoke. Ah Bing and Wen Mingtang were stirring the glutinous rice balls, but when Wen Mingtang put down the shovel and stir-fried them, he was lured back by the aroma.

By the time Wen Mingtang took the spicy chicken out of the pot, the three of them were already following Wen Mingtang and looking at the spicy chicken on the plate.

When Master Wen was making this dish, he said that it was a very spicy dish. Now that it was out of the pot, it turned out to be so! The word "spicy" comes first, followed by "spicy". This spicy taste really makes people salivate.

, I was afraid of the spicy taste, but I was attracted by the rich spicy fragrance and wanted to get closer.

It was not that he didn't notice the looks from the three people around him. Wen Mingtang pursed his lips and smiled softly. He divided out three small plates of spicy chicken, put garnished coriander on them, handed them over and said: "It's still early, but today we are

You can have lunch first."

The cooks seldom eat on time, either in front of others or after others. Usually they eat more often after others. Today, everyone is greedy, and the spicy chicken tastes just like it when it comes out of the pot.

It is the best. Since the time is enough, Wen Mingtang will not treat his stomach badly.

The "spicy chicken" on the white porcelain plate in front of you is piled up into a hill. At first glance, you can see that there are more golden chickens than red peppers. The "spicy chicken" that reduces the spiciness has this advantage. There is no need to add more peppers.

Looking for chicken in the pile.

Wen Mingtang raised his chopsticks and picked at the spicy chicken on the plate.

Today is the New Year, be a "prosperous" spicy chicken and wish the little cuties a prosperous new year in advance!
