Chapter 289 A high-end Sichuan dish that has both appearance and taste - Snowflake Chicken Nao!(1/3)

 While eating the delicious breakfast, Baby Shen completely forgot about his stomach upset.

She took a fried roll and ate the fried dough sticks mixed with pickles and cucumbers happily. After eating for a while, she took a big sip of the delicious vegetable porridge, vividly displaying the image of the upright and unpretentious Yanjing girl.

.

"Xubao, what's the name of the dish you just said you were going to make?"

"Snowflake Chicken Nao(nào)."

"Noisy? Is it noisy?"

Lin Xu originally thought that his baby was just joking to cheer up the atmosphere, but when he saw that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were also curious, he wrote this word:

"This means mud, which means making the chicken into a mud shape like snowflakes."

Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu immediately slapped the table:

"Just do this. I'm going to see if my uncle and the others dare to laugh at me today. Wife, please don't tip me off. I have to punish them today."

He came from a poor background, and in those days it was pretty good to graduate from high school.

However, compared with the Han family, where the whole family is a senior doctor, the gap is somewhat big, and it is normal to receive a blank stare.

Over the years, Lao Shen has been holding his breath.

Now, the opportunity to fight back finally comes.

I don’t believe that those doctors in white coats can accurately pronounce the name of the dish, let alone that they can pronounce the character “Nao” correctly. Most likely, like me, they will pronounce it as “zhuo.”

Hum hum, when that time comes, I will return the word "uneducated".

After the meal, Shen Guofu drove back to the villa with Mrs. Shen, Han Shuzhen and Dundun to prepare to entertain relatives.

Lin Xu and Shen Baobao went back to the store together.

First make the mooncakes to be made today, then grab the chicken breast, stock, Jinhua ham and other ingredients for making Snowflake Chicken Chowder, and drive to the villa on the West Fourth Ring Road to prepare lunch.

Snowflake Chicken Nao needs to be garnished with ham, and Jinhua ham with a richer flavor must be used, so that the dish will be fragrant and delicious enough.

If you use Xuanwei ham or other ham, it will be a bit boring.

Because the amount of ham used in this dish is very small, just sprinkle some chopped ham on the plate after serving. Xuanwei and other hams have a slight taste, and they lose their salty taste and aroma when they are cut into such minced pieces.

It is better to marinate Jinhua ham which is more flavorful and fermented more thoroughly.

Sprinkling it on the fried snowflake chicken not only adds flavor and color to the dish, but the unique salty flavor of ham can also add a bright color to the dull-tasting dish.

In Sichuan cuisine, this method of cutting ham into small pieces is called ham Mengzi.

In the past, materials were expensive and ingredients were in short supply. Jinhua ham was synonymous with high-end ingredients. Chefs would cut it into pieces and put it on dishes as a garnish, just like modern chefs use black truffles.

In fact, in order to pursue a sense of luxury, some chefs sprinkled black truffles on the snowflake chicken.

Although it does raise the level, this approach is wrong.

Because the Snowflake Chicken Soup has a bland taste, you need to sprinkle a little salty ham on it to enrich the taste of the dish and make it taste more charming.

The black truffle only has umami taste but no salty taste.

After putting it away, it will not have the effect of increasing appetite, and it is just a waste of food.

Arriving at the Shen family villa, the relatives had not arrived yet. Lin Xu came to the kitchen with the ingredients, while Shen Baobao went upstairs to change into chef clothes.

Hey! It’s finally time for Chef Shen to come online again!

My relatives are all here today, so naturally I want to show off my cooking skills.

Although she and Chen Yan went out of their way to apply for health certificates in order to join the chef circle, they did not dare to make trouble in Lin Ji's kitchen. After all, it was a place for business and not suitable for fun.

But there will be no problem at home.

She put her black hair into a bun, put on a white chef's uniform, and put on a head chef's hat that was about a foot high, and said hello happily to the pretty cook in the mirror:

"Hello, Master Shen!"

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with his clothes, Master Shen went to the kitchen on his canvas shoes.

When I arrived at the door of the kitchen, I didn’t rush to work. Instead, I took a beautiful selfie using the pots and pans behind me as the background, and then sent it to my circle of friends:

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lin Kee Food Executive Chef Shen Jiayue wishes everyone a family reunion and a happy Mooncake Festival! Today I will present an unusual and delicious dish to my family, so stay tuned!"

When Xu Bao makes that shit, I will take the opportunity to take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments.

Hee hee, if the dishes made by my Xu Bao are rounded up, they are equal to those made by me, in the Ganges River, right?

After posting the news, the girl put her phone in her pocket, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Xubao, I'm here, do you need my help?"

Lin Xu looked at her outfit and asked curiously:

"Tell me what you are going to do first, and then I can arrange it after you confirm the dishes you are going to make."

"I plan to steam an egg custard for each of my family members, but wouldn't it be wasteful to use a steamer?"

If there are few dishes, you can easily make custard for one person.

But there are so many dishes today, and after the custard is served, everyone can only try two bites at most. It would be a waste if you cook too much, so Chef Shen is a little distressed.

Lin Xu adjusted the girl's chef's hat and said with a smile:

"You can steam oranges to make orange steamed eggs. They are small in quantity and delicious, and they look good and will definitely surprise your relatives."

Orange steamed egg?

Baobao Shen's eyes lit up.

Thanks to Xubao, I found a new idea for making custard.

On the other side, Chen Yan, who secretly ate a bunch of takeaways at night, just woke up and realized that it was already past nine o'clock.

"It's all because Shou Yueyue has no sense of public morality. She accidentally poisoned her in the middle of the night, causing me to eat so much last night... I'll settle the score with her later when we meet!"

She did not get up immediately, but reached out and took the mobile phone from the bedside table.

Since I got up late, I just played with my phone for a while before getting up.

Anyway, Lin Ji has run out of breakfast at this moment, and the lunch at his uncle’s house has not been prepared yet. Instead of getting up early or late, he might as well lie down for a while.

Click on WeChat, read through the various Mid-Autumn Festival greetings, reply to important people, and then click on the circle of friends to see if there is anything new.

Then she saw Shen Baobao’s selfie.

"Isn't it so shameless to brazenly say that I am the executive chef? I am Lin Ji's executive chef, okay?"

This news made Mr. Chen so angry that he stopped lying down. He immediately got out of bed and found some relatively simple clothes to change into.

Well, there are many relatives today, so it is not suitable to wear clothes that are too flamboyant or too personal, otherwise you will easily become the focus of the crowd, and then a nice gathering of relatives will turn into a wedding gathering.

Moreover, the elders are relatively conservative. In their eyes, navel-baring clothes are not fashionable, but look like the four-bag elders of the Beggar Clan.

For this kind of dinner occasion, it’s better to be as low-key as possible.

A pair of wide-leg jeans, a black T-shirt that can prevent vegetable soup from being spilled, and a baseball cap that she put on because she was too lazy to tidy up her hair. Isn’t this a beautiful girl with a casual style?

She looked in the mirror, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, she rarely wore high heels, but put on a pair of black Converse canvas shoes.

After getting dressed up and preparing to leave, Baby Shen called.

Humph, I knew you, the fake executive chef, couldn't handle it.

As soon as she chose to answer, Shen Baobao's yelling voice came from the receiver:

"Yanbao, where are you? Come to my house quickly and help!"

Chen Yan sneered, she couldn't do it without me, right? She asked slowly:

"How can I help you?"

"Xubao just taught me how to make orange steamed eggs. I plan to make one for each of my relatives, but the workload is so heavy that you have to come over and be my assistant."

What?

Orange steamed egg?

Chen Yan didn't expect that her cousin would secretly learn a new dish.

In the past, everyone said, "If you want to learn well, you have to sleep with the master." I didn't expect this to be true. Otherwise, how could my cousin, who is so much stupider than me, be able to learn orange steamed eggs?

It must have been her brother-in-law who gave her some advice.

It's a pity that my partner is not a chef, otherwise I would have to compete with her to see who is the most beautiful cook in the family!

"Wait, we'll be there soon!"

Humph, wait until I learn how to steam orange eggs before I announce who the executive chef of Linji Food is. My cousin’s level is still a bit disappointing.

It's a pity that I am single.

If there is a chef who can cook, he can definitely put his cousin's cooking skills ahead of others!

When she came downstairs, she drove her sports car to the West Fourth Ring Road at a fast speed.
