Chapter 65 Fried Chicken with Three Flavors (Part 2)
"Hahaha..." Yang Ci looked at these fried chicken nuggets. With his special chef's eyes, he could naturally see that it was very different from the chicken nuggets fried by Yang Xiu before.
Strictly speaking, the time for both sides to fry is similar, and there is not much difference in one or two minutes. However, sometimes for a few extra seconds, the taste may be much worse. Controlling the heat is originally a quality that a chef should have.
"Dezu, give it a try!" Yang Ci didn't say anything, but just took the lead in getting the chopsticks.
When the chopsticks picked up the chicken pieces, the feel of the chopsticks conveyed was completely different from the one Yang Xiu had before. Yang Ci was stunned for a second, then smiled and put them in his mouth, and bit it gently.
The skin of the fried chicken suddenly broke open, and a sauce mixed with the flavor of chicken flowed into the mouth. It was just fried and it was a little hot. Yang Ci couldn't help but "haha" a few times, trying to reduce the temperature in his mouth.
Then chew it carefully and found that the surface is crispy, while the fried chicken inside remains soft and tender. The contrast between inside and outside is the most attractive part of the fried chicken.
"The taste... is completely different from mine!" Yang Xiu was directly hit. She considered adjusting the time for frying, but no matter how it is adjusted, it is theoretically the kind of fried one at a time. The concept of refrying naturally does not exist.
I suddenly felt a sense of frustration. I thought the most perfect frying method, but the other party gave the most mature craftsmanship.
"Wuyou..." Yang Ci looked at Yang Xiu's depressed look and knew that she had learned a lesson. So it would be fine if things ended here. "According to what you meant just now, are there any other ways to fried chicken?"
"That's right! By the way, I wonder if the hard wheat flour is ready?" Wang Yong nodded and asked immediately.
"Of course it's ready!" Yang Ci smiled and asked someone to bring the things over.
"The chicken needs to be marinated, but before this, you can prepare the third type of fried chicken first!" Wang Yong confirmed the flour below. This is flour ground by hard wheat, which is high-gluten flour. However, the bread flour sold on the market is made of dried bread and baked high-gluten flour, and a little pigment and foaming agent are added.
When marinating chicken, Wang Yong added tender meat powder this time, and the marinating process took 30 minutes. During this time, he took out an iron box, then started to combine the noodles, added eggs, yeast and white sugar, and then put them in the iron box and put them in the baking kiln for baking.
Depending on the heat, the time is usually more than one hour and less than two hours.
"One hour? What preparation takes one hour?" After Wang Yong told the two of them the time it took, Yang Xiu complained directly. He had never seen it before. It took so long to prepare a material.
"Dezu!" Yang Ci was very knowledgeable. "There is nothing strange about this. For example, some marinated ingredients sometimes take several days or even months to marinate, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the best level. But I still have to ask, what is the baking of this dough?"
"Strictly speaking, this is also a kind of food, called toast. However, since this time it is the ingredients for preparing fried chicken, there is not much yeast powder and very little sugar. It is not very good to ferment, and the taste is naturally not much better." Wang Yong replied.
"You've been playing with all the flour patterns." Yang Ci laughed. Not to mention other cooking techniques, this disciple is almost playing with flour. From steaming buns to toasting, what else he doesn't know about?
"Usually, you can make tomato sauce at this time, but I have made it in advance for tomato sauce! This thing is very simple to make. Peel the cooked tomatoes, make it into a jam-like shape, then add half a lemon juice, and stir-fry until the jam can be hung on the spoon." Wang Yong picked up the already-made tomato sauce and introduced it.
"Recently, Wanshiwu seems to have found several new ingredients, one of which is something called tomato, and the other is the kind of pepper I had eaten before. According to the information from the guild, they had only a little understanding of these two crops, but they didn't expect Wuyou to be so clear about it?" Yang Ci was really surprised at this moment.
Even the best chefs in the Chef Guild have a little bit of a distance from these two red crops, especially the raw peppers, which makes people wonder if they are poisonous. Unexpectedly, Wang Yong has already been able to use them at will and use them in cooking.
"Hehe..." Wang Yong felt a little embarrassed, "I originally asked Wanshiwu to help find it. I used to eat these two crops by chance when I was hungry. But at first I knew that these two crops were still ornamental plants."
"So that's it. As long as you discover it carefully, even an ornamental plant can be used for cooking!" Yang Ci nodded.
Yang Xiu, who was standing by, looked very strange. He claimed to be a genius and could control whatever ingredients he saw. Now that he met a "genius" of the same level, he suddenly had a strong sense of competition. If he said that he wanted to become a junior sister at the beginning, he was very dissatisfied. At this moment, she had already placed Wang Yong on the same level as her and regarded him as a competitor.
The one who knows Yang Xiu best is naturally Yang Ci, the grandfather. Looking at her surging fighting spirit, Yang Ci was very satisfied. It seems that Wang Yong's excellence has aroused Yang Xiu's sense of competition. In the past, there were few opponents of her who were about the same age. Over time, she was a little proud. Of course, it would not be good if this continues!
Now it’s good. Even if she can’t make a relationship with Wang Yong in the end, at least it can stimulate her to make continuous progress, which is the best result.
As we chatted like this, it had reached 30 minutes. Wang Yong didn't talk nonsense, so he drizzled the marinated chicken with regular flour, then dipped it in the egg liquid, and then dipped it in the bread flour. The oil temperature has been heated to 70% at this moment, and put the chicken pieces in, fry until the shell is golden, then take it out, and place it on kitchen paper.
"Doesn't this require re-explosion?" Yang Ci asked curiously.
"This kind of fried chicken nuggets, that's fine! You can eat it like this or just eat it with tomato sauce. Please try it!" Wang Yong brought out the prepared tomato sauce with the fried chicken nuggets.
"Try it..." Yang Ci picked up a chopstick, and he could feel the crispy skin when he bought it. After dipping it in tomato sauce, he put it on his mouth and took a bite. The taste of tomatoes naturally came to his face first. The sour and sweet taste instantly cleared the already a little greasy mouth. At this time, the crispy skin of the fried chicken and the tenderness of the chicken turned into a torrent and swept over.
"This fried chicken... the double overlap of umami flavor..." Yang Xiu maintained his posture of taking a bite of the fried chicken, but his breathing had accelerated a lot, his eyes were a little blurred, and his body was trembling instinctively, "The impact... is too strong!"
"The tomato sauce actually has a strong umami flavor!" Yang Ci quickly understood the mystery.
"It is precisely that the umami flavor of tomatoes and the umami flavor that the chicken itself have in an instant, and the superposition effect occurs!" Wang Yong replied proudly.
"But this taste is a bit exciting for Dezu..." Yang Ci didn't say anything, but just looked at Yang Xiu, and then looked at Wang Yong with deep meaning.
"Sorry, I just created it according to the recipe, but I didn't expect..." Wang Yong looked at Yang Xiu's 'infatuated' and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. You know, Yang Xiu's appearance is only in his teens, and now she is like this, which makes people feel guilty.
"You, you, you..." Yang Xiu was following Yang Ci for too long, and he quickly calmed down, but then he suddenly fell into anger, "You actually asked me to eat this kind of thing, a bad guy!"
"This is the recipe, right?" Yang Ci stood on Wang Yong's side at least. "Wuyou is also a mistake, so don't worry. Look at you, you have eaten three or four chicken pieces!"
"Woo..." Looking at the three or four chicken pieces missing from the plate, Yang Xiu hid shyly behind Yang Ci. She had just lost control and only knew that she could instinctively pick up chicken pieces into the plate. She came to her senses and had eaten three or four.
"The bread seems to be almost done!" A scent came, and Wang Yong smelled it, and instinctively told him that the bread was ready.
Generally speaking, even if it is a bread machine, it takes two hours to complete it. However, it is not the first time he has made bread. He failed several times and after letting the live broadcast room watch a few jokes, he probably found the trick. Now that his physical fitness has improved, he only needs to smell the smell, and he has probably realized the fact that the bread has been baked.
Sure enough, as the kiln was opened, the bread inside had completely expanded, the crust was orange-yellow and slightly white, after all, there was not so much grease. Take out the bread and cut it into slices. In fact, this is a common toast bread, but it is relatively harder and dry.
Tear a few slices of bread and put it in the oven. It usually takes 20 minutes to bake.
"We have to wait another twenty minutes!" After knowing this, Yang Xiu complained directly, "I have basically wasted the matter of fried chicken for you today. Are you still planning to learn etiquette?"
"If I have learned almost the same part of the teachings before, I would like to thank my junior sister for my advice!" Wang Yong bowed very formally, then said slowly with a smile on his face.
"Gu..." Seeing this, Yang Xiu immediately showed an unwilling expression.
Twenty minutes later, the bread has been dried in the oven. At this time, you only need to crush it. The final product is the so-called bread crumb. You can usually buy it directly, but if you don’t have it or don’t want to waste money, you can make it like this, which is a waste of time. If you are really rich, there is no need to save so much.
The same procedure is still the same. First, wrap the chicken with regular flour, then coat with egg liquid, and finally wrap it with breadcrumbs. The procedure is the same as Longtian fried chicken. Fry it lightly, then cool it down, then fry it at high temperature quickly, and finally leave it out of the pot, put it on kitchen paper, and suck the excess grease dry.
"I feel that it's no different from Tang Yang's fried chicken, but it's still so troublesome!" Yang Xiu complained directly, regardless of whether the taste is good or not. Anyway, she's now full of complaints.
"No... different!" Yang Ci picked up a piece and conveyed the feeling through chopsticks, which was different from the previous two fried chickens.
After dipping into tomato sauce, I took a bite and the bread crumbs were fried to a crispy and refreshing. I took a bite and made a sound, with a crust like a cookie, followed by a tender chicken flavor, and finally a sweet and sour tomato sauce flavor.
"Three overlaps!" Yang Ci frowned immediately, "Dezu, when eating this, you are not allowed to dip it into tomato sauce!"
He didn't expect that this fried chicken and dough dress would become a source of umami flavor. He didn't know whether it was the eggs added in it or the umami flavor emitted by the flour after repeated roasting and frying. The superposition of three flavors would make his granddaughter probably couldn't bear it!
