Before Ye Fei makes any delicacy, when new ingredients are used, he will introduce them to the audience in as much detail as possible.
Why do this
In the eyes of some people, this may be a bit redundant, but in Ye Fei's view, it is not the case. What he is doing now is a food live broadcast. He is not only making a delicious food, but also letting the audience know how to make this delicious food. Yes, where the ingredients come from. Only by knowing the origins of the ingredients used in a dish and what needs to be paid attention to can the audience and guests appreciate the connotation and meaning of the dish when they are watching it. What’s valuable.
Just like when we ate spicy strips when we were children, we all know that spicy strips are delicious. They come in sticks or slices, and they taste spicy and delicious in your mouth. But why are they so spicy and delicious? Some people think about this question. Only by understanding why it tastes this way can they taste it more carefully when eating it. Oh, it turns out that pepper powder, chili powder, salt, MSG and sugar are used in it.
This is a real master of eating spicy strips. He not only eats the surface of spicy strips, but also can taste the connotation of spicy strips. (Have you realized the meaning? No? Then you still need to work hard)
Wenchang chicken is Ye Fei's first time using this kind of ingredient, and it's even his first time cooking dishes from Nanhai Province, so he has to give a detailed explanation to the audience.
After introducing the Wenchang chicken, the next thing Ye Fei had to do was to cut the Wenchang chicken into pieces.
He also said just now that plain cut is the best destination for a Wenchang chicken, because only in this way can a very valuable feature of Nanhai Province's cuisine be reflected, that is, the original flavor.
"Why can white-cut Wenchang chicken reflect the original flavor of this kind of chicken? Obviously, the focus is on the word white-cut. The so-called white means that no or as little seasoning is added when making it. It allows the ingredients to maintain their original features and characteristics to the greatest extent, and cutting is a knife technique that slices the ingredients into pieces without messing them up. When serving the food, the image is arranged on the plate so that it can have a beautiful appearance. Then we will start .”
After Ye Fei said what he meant by Baiqie, he started to slaughter the Wenchang chicken directly.
Ye Fei is an expert at killing chickens. Since the start of the live broadcast, he doesn't know how many chickens he has killed. Now his movements are as smooth as water. After quickly killing the chickens, he removes the feathers and internal organs, and then rinses them clean.
However, when slaughtering, Ye Fei still tried his best to ensure the overall integrity of the chicken and that the skin was not broken.
After cleaning, Ye Fei took care of the two chicken feet. He peeled off the outermost layer of old skin, cut off the toenails, then rotated the two chicken feet and stuffed them into the wound on the chicken's belly. , then move the chicken's head back so that it is hidden under the wings, and prick it with a thin toothpick to fix the chicken head.
This step is called styling, and this approach can also ensure the greatest convenience when doing it.
After it was done, Ye Fei took a water pot from the side, placed it on the fire, added an appropriate amount of cold water into it, and brought it to a boil over high heat.
When the water boils, put the shaped Wenchang chicken in the boiling water and start cooking. This step is brine, but this brine is different from the brine of other ingredients, and it takes many times to complete.
Five or six minutes after Ye Fei put the chicken in the boiling water, he saw that the surface of the chicken began to turn pale. Ye Fei hooked it out with an iron hook, then turned the opening of the chicken's abdomen downwards and let the inside The water came out and was put into the boiling water again.
After a while, everyone saw that the chicken's skin began to turn light yellow. Ye Fei took it out again, then poured out the water from the chicken's belly again, and put the chicken in again.
It can be said that for a moment, Ye Fei stood in front of the operating table and did nothing. He just boiled the chicken in boiling water, then took it out, poured out the water inside to cool for a while, and then put it in the water again to continue cooking.
After doing this over and over for five or six times, Ye Fei put the chicken into the boiling water again and cooked it for a while. He took a chopstick from the side and stabbed the chicken from the crook of the wing. The chopstick seemed to be quite difficult. It pierced the skin of the chicken and entered the chicken. He pulled out the chopsticks and saw that there was no blood flowing out of the chicken. Ye Fei nodded, which meant it was OK.
The two people in the live broadcast room and the scene watched Ye Fei's actions quietly. When Ye Fei stabbed him and nodded, many people still didn't understand.
Because anyone who has eaten chicken knows that after the chicken is cooked, you can penetrate the meat with a light stab with chopsticks. It is not as difficult as Ye Fei's stab. Since it is so difficult for him to stab, it means that this chicken is The chicken is not yet cooked, but why does Ye Shen nod? As a top chef, it's impossible for him to not even know this bit of common sense, right
People were curious, so someone asked.
"Ye Shen, is this Wenchang Chicken ready?" Fairy Sanhua asked.
Ye Fei nodded with a smile and said, "It's still not done yet, but the chicken is considered ready."
"But I saw that when you stabbed the chicken with chopsticks just now, it didn't go very smoothly. It seemed that the chicken was not cooked enough."
"Haha, plain chicken, how many times have you eaten cooked chicken?"
"ah?"
After Ye Fei said this, everyone in the live broadcast room was stunned, but many people soon realized that although they had never eaten white-cut Wenchang chicken, they had eaten other white-cut chicken, indeed There is such a situation, that is, when eating plain-cut chicken, the meat often does not seem to be very cooked. Some are even more overcooked and even have faint bloodshot eyes when picking up a piece of chicken. The chicken does not seem to be even. Not even mature enough.
"Why is this happening?" Wanwanyu asked.
He is an alien. In fact, he doesn’t know many steps and features of Earth’s food. This guy came here just to see what’s new and then have a meal of Ye Fei’s food. So if there are many questions, his questions are Definitely the most.
As a result, Ye Fei hadn't spoken yet, and He Peng snorted from the side: "This is Earth's delicacy. Even if I tell you, you won't understand. You are an alien."
Wandering: "."
This guy turned his head and stared at He Peng fiercely, thinking to himself, Yaya's fucker, why are you everywhere? I asked Ye Shen, what are you talking about? Besides, even if I don’t understand, won’t I understand it as soon as Ye Shen explains it to me
He Peng's whole body was hairy after being exposed to the curve, and he hurriedly retreated, saying: "A gentleman talks but never moves."
Bang~~
As soon as he said this, he flew out with a whoosh. That's right, this time he didn't retreat, but flew out directly, and was kicked away by a big kick.
With a plop, He Peng fell two meters away. His eyes rolled wildly after the fall. It can be said that if he bent and used a little more force, this guy would be finished.
After he kicked He Peng away, he was still muttering.
"What the hell is a gentleman who talks but doesn't do anything? I've never heard this sentence before. Can you tell me that I understand? It's shameful."
Look, He Peng was unjustly hit. He was playing the lute to a cow and got hit in the end.
He Peng got up from the ground, and then avoided Wanwanqu from a distance. He stared at this guy timidly, swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "For the sake of you being an alien, I won't I’m just acquainted with you.”
Wanwanwan snorted coldly, and then raised his helmet-sized fist.
He Peng immediately shrank his neck and stood far away without daring to move.
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into tears of laughter when they saw He Peng, who was full of bad intentions, being treated like a grandson.
"He Peng, it's your turn to stop being bad."
"Evil people have their own trials and tribulations. To deal with someone like He Peng, someone like Xiao Wanwan should take action."
"Damn it, I guess this guy's intestines and stomach are going to rot, right? That kick from Xiao Wanwan just now was really good."
"Nonsense, with such big feet, let alone a kick in the stomach, even a kick in the butt is enough for this guy to drink a pot."
"It's a pity that he wasn't kicked to death."
"Come on, I think this kid He Peng is quite pitiful. He has gone from a fair and clean business owner to the ghost he is now. Now he is being beaten and kicked. That's enough. "
"What do you mean it's enough? He brought this on himself, okay? Who made him so bad? He even wanted to kill Ye Shen before. It's weird if I can't curse him to death, a little turtle grandson."
Not many people in the live broadcast room sympathized with He Peng's experience. Many people felt that Wanqu's kick was too relieving, and the news column was filled with thumbs up and likes.
When Ye Fei saw this scene from the side, he also twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that He Peng and Wanqu Qu were really unlucky to be live broadcast guests together. If this kick is taken, he probably won't be able to eat much in a while.
But, how could I be so happy
If you hurt me in the past, evil will be punished.
Ye Fei didn't care too much about this matter, but explained the problem to the audience.
"Just now we introduced Wenchang chicken, and we just briefly talked about its characteristics. Specifically, the chicken is extremely delicious, and the skin is very thin. In addition, it is to eat this kind of chicken. Authentic flavor, the chicken should not be cooked too thoroughly, it is usually 80 to 90% done, which means that the chicken should be cut off of the blood and even feel a bit raw, so that the delicious taste and smooth feeling of Wenchang chicken can be tasted. In fact, a lot of plain-cut chicken looks like this, and the chef deliberately makes it this way when making it, just to highlight the freshness and smoothness of the chicken."
After listening to Ye Fei's explanation, people understood why many plain-cut chickens have that kind of taste. But after all, those plain-cut chickens are not Wenchang chickens. Many of them even use ordinary vegetable chickens or inferior chickens. The taste and texture are very different. Of course it cannot be compared with Wenchang Chicken.
After the Wenchang chicken was cooked, Ye Fei took it out of the pot, put it on a large plate, took out the sesame oil and spread it evenly on it, and then started to take other things from the storage compartment. Ingredients.
Ginger, garlic, MSG, white vinegar, dark soy sauce, sugar, etc. Ye Fei even took out an orange at the end.
Divide the ginger into two parts, cut one into shreds, pound the other into minced ginger, and pound the garlic into minced garlic, and then start the preparation.
Some shredded ginger and minced garlic are mixed with MSG and dark soy sauce to make a fresh and salty sauce, which is placed in a small plate.
Then minced ginger, minced garlic, mixed with white vinegar and white sugar were mixed into a sweet and sour sauce and placed in another small dish.
Finally, Ye Fei took the remaining shredded ginger and garlic, mixed it with sesame oil and refined salt, and finally added orange juice to make a special sauce, which he placed on the third plate.
After all these were completed, Ye Fei took out a fan-shaped plate. This plate was a bit special. There were three spaces in the front, all in the shape of a fan. Then he poured a little of the three prepared sauces into each fan-shaped space. Then cut the Wenchang chicken without any spices or ingredients into slices with a sharp knife and put it on the plate.
But when placing it, Ye Fei still placed it in the shape of a chicken lying down.
As he placed the chicken on the plate, he saw a plump Wenchang chicken-shaped light ball appear from the plate, and then flew upwards staggeringly.
Not long after, the chicken exploded and the aroma filled the air.
In fact, everyone could smell the aroma of this delicacy when it was cooked just now. It is very special. Why is it said to be very special? Because there are no ingredients added to it, all the taste is the most authentic and authentic taste of Wenchang chicken itself.
This smell was slightly fishy at first when the chicken was put into the pot, but as Ye Fei cooked it back and forth a few times, the fishy smell completely disappeared and was replaced by the most original chicken aroma.
Until this time, the meat aroma of the chicken is even stronger, but there is a slight and elegant aroma in this richness. One chicken, two aromas, so it is very special.
In addition, after the chicken is smeared with sesame oil, the whole chicken looks yellow and oily, which is extremely eye-catching and attractive.
Especially under the golden skin, everyone seemed to be able to see the chicken that was still extremely white and tender. Even with the invisible camera taking a close-up of the cut surface of the chicken, people discovered that there was actually a trace of chicken juice slowly flowing out of the chicken. seeped out.
