"What dish?"
"Big plate chicken."
"Big plate chicken?"
Aunt Zhang and Lin Ruoxi were confused. They had never heard of this dish before.
The deaf old lady said,"The big plate chicken is a Xinjiang dish. How can it be delicious?"”
The old lady was knowledgeable and knew about the big plate chicken.
Ye Feng smiled,"I'm going to make a big plate of chicken in Beijing today."”
Mrs. Long laughed and scolded," You're spouting nonsense, child. There's no such thing as a big plate of chicken in the capital."”
"Just you wait and see!"
Ye Feng did not explain, he moved the stove in his room to this side, there were many dishes, both stoves were working at the same time.
The big plate chicken was a Xinjiang dish.
During the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang had won a battle in Xinjiang. He had used local chickens and peppers in Xinjiang to make a delicious dish to reward the three armies.
After that, the big plate chicken in Xinjiang became famous.
Later, after some improvements, it was officially included in the list of Xinjiang dishes.
In the later generations, the big plate chicken spread to all parts of the country. After being improved by chefs from all over the country, there were various versions of the big plate chicken, becoming a well-known Jianghu dish.
The capital was the best place. Of course, there was also a unique way to cook big plate chicken.
Ye Feng did not say that he was going to make a big plate of chicken in Beijing.
However, the resources were scarce at this time, and the big plate chicken in the capital had not been developed yet.
Opening the stove, Ye Feng blanched the chopped pork and chicken separately.
After blanching, Lin Ruoxi was also done washing and cutting the potatoes.
She stood beside the stove and watched Ye Feng cook without blinking.
"I don't need you now. Go and rest.”Ye Feng smiled.
Lin Ruoxi: " Grandma said that your cooking is even better than a chef's. I want to learn from you."”
"Alright, I'll teach you how to make big plate chicken today.”
After stewing the red braised pork, Ye Feng started to teach Lin Ruoxi how to make the big plate chicken.
Speaking of Ye Feng's cooking skills, although he did not have any formal training, Ye Feng liked to cook in his previous life, he had managed to master his cooking skills by watching videos on his phone.
Even in his previous life, he could be a master chef.
Compared to him, Silly Zhu's cooking skills were really lacking.
Silly Zhu only knew a few Sichuan dishes, Ye Feng did not know those traditional cuisines, but he knew all kinds of Jianghu cuisines.
"Heat the oil in the pot."
Ye Feng poured in some oil and said: " When the oil is 70% hot, pour in the sliced chicken and stir-fry until the water is dry. Stir-fry until the chicken oil is out and the chicken skin is brown and curly."”
"Pour in the cooking wine and remove the fishy smell! At the same time, it could also stimulate the fragrance of the chicken.”
"Add the sugar and stir-fry evenly.”
At this moment, the fragrance of chicken had already come out.
The Deaf Old Lady and the others sniffed at it, and it was so fragrant that their mouths were salivating.
"Ruoxi, I didn't expect Little Ye to know how to cook. The man that Aunt Zhang introduced to you is right, right?" Aunt Zhang said proudly.”
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang, for your help. It's all thanks to you.”
Ye Feng: " What are you saying, it is my fortune to be able to marry Ruoxi."”
"Look, look, this child knows how to talk.”
Ye Feng smiled knowingly and continued to teach Lin Ruoxi how to cook.
"Now, add in the scallions, ginger, and dried chili. Stir-fry evenly and let the fragrance spread!”
"Add the bean paste, a spoonful of chili sauce, and a bowl of hot water. Then, he added pepper, star anise, laurel, fragrant leaves, and white cardamom.”
A few minutes later, the smell of various seasonings came out.
"Add salt. You can't add salt too early or too late. If you add salt too early, the meat won't be easy to stew. If you add salt too late, the salt won't be able to enter the chicken. Also, the old lady's teeth aren't good.”
"Yes, I understand!"
Lin Ruoxi nodded and revealed a look of admiration. She did not expect her man to know so much.
"Add pepper, white pepper is best.”
"Add aged vinegar, soy sauce, and a small amount of dark soya sauce. This step is to color the color and also to enhance the fragrance.”
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she praised him profusely,"I've never heard that there's so much knowledge to cook chicken. Little Ye is really capable.”
"Close the lid and cook for ten minutes. At this time, look at the water in the pot. If there's not much water, add some hot water. Remember, the water must not exceed the chicken.”
"Add the potatoes and simmer them for half an hour. He scooped out the potatoes, then put some onions, garlic, and green peppers in.”
"Pay attention when you collect the sauce.”
"Finally, add the chicken essence and stir-fry evenly. A plate of authentic Beijing chicken is ready.”
The fragrance of chicken meat and various seasonings completely erupted. The entire courtyard was filled with the fragrance of the big plate chicken.
"It smells so good, it's Ye Feng, they are making chicken stew again.”
"Chicken dinner again? It's not even the New Year yet.”
"Damn it, when I heard that Ye Feng is getting married, why didn't he treat everyone to a meal and hide at home to eat?”
"You guys don't know, Ye Feng bought a watch for his wife and spent 368 yuan.”
"Hiss-"
"What?! This guy was so lazy. How did he have so much money?”
The people in the courtyard were drooling, each more resentful than the other.
Lin Ruoxi took a look. There was brownish-red chicken meat, sticky soup, red dried chili, and green pepper.
The color, fragrance, and taste were all there. Just looking at the color was enough to make one's fingers move.
