From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 5 "Sauce-fried Chicken" Teaching Bureau
  Feng Zhengming parked the tricycle in the yard, and then ran quickly to the back kitchen of the canteen.

As soon as I entered the back kitchen door, I heard Lin Jiacheng scolding the two apprentices of the senior brother again.

"Zhang Lei, Yang Peng, you two have been studying with your master for a long time, how come you can have problems with such a simple fried chicken? This plate is full of water, and the gravy is not stuck. This dish Can you give it to me?"

When Feng Zhengming heard Lin Jiacheng's words, he understood that it was the customer who came to the canteen to open a small stove.

The senior brother was probably too busy, so he asked the two apprentices to go to the stove.

As a result, I don’t know who made the dish "Sauce-fried Chicken" in question.

I didn't hear Zhang Lei and Yang Peng speak.

Li Huidong said: "Brother-in-law, don't talk about them. No one can just put on the stove. Go ahead and tell the factory director that I will speed up and let them wait a little longer while I stir-fry the vegetables on hand." After that, fry them another portion of "Sauce-fried Chicken"."

Lin Jiacheng said: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. I told the factory director before, Huidong, please hurry up and don't forget to make another fried chicken with sauce."

Li Huidong agreed and said, "Okay, brother-in-law."

When Feng Zhengming heard this, he walked to the small stove where the senior brother and the others were busy.

"Senior brother, I'm back. How about I cook "Sauce-fried Chicken"?"

Seeing Feng Zhengming back, several people in the kitchen were a little surprised.

Li Huidong turned around and asked, "Zhengming, why did you come back so soon? Did you encounter any accidents on the way? Didn't your lunch box get robbed?"

Feng Zhengming explained with a smile: "I was not robbed. Senior brother, all my lunch boxes were sold out, so I hurried back."

"All sold out?"

This time, even Lin Chengdu couldn't help but exclaimed along with everyone else.

No one expected that just a short time after Feng Zhengming packed the lunch boxes and rode out on his tricycle, the lunch boxes had already been sold out and he came back.

Lin Jiacheng asked: "Is it so fast? Zhengming, please don't lie to us."

Feng Zhengming smiled and took out the money from his pocket and said: "Brother-in-law, I really sold out. There are many people catching the train at the South Station. Many people are busy catching the train without eating. When I show the lunch boxes there, People started buying them right away, and even within half an hour, all the lunch boxes I brought were sold out."

Before everyone could recover from the surprise, Feng Zhengming washed his hands carefully and then walked to the desk.

"Brother, let me make the soy-fried chicken. Don't worry, I promise there won't be any mistakes."

Li Huidong looked at Feng Zhengming's confident look, and then looked at how many dishes he still had to cook. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, Zhengming, you will make the fried chicken with soy sauce. Don't worry, you must cook it carefully." , the deputy director of the brewery is treating us tonight, so we can’t be careless.”

Feng Zhengming agreed: "Brother, don't worry."

Then Feng Zhengming walked to the chopping board and reached for the chicken breast that had been prepared earlier.

First, use a knife to quickly remove some of the fascia from the chicken breast.

Then score one side of the chicken breast with a knife, then cut the chicken breast into dices about a little larger than your thumb, and cut the onion, ginger, and garlic into fine pieces.

Feng Zhengming can be said to be very efficient in the entire matching process.

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng, who were watching from the side, were shocked.

Lin Jiacheng looked at it for a while and felt incredible at Feng Zhengming's neatness.

After cutting and mixing, Feng Zhengming began to starch the diced chicken.

Put a little salt to give a base.

Then put some onion and pepper cooking wine prepared by the senior brother.

Then add some of the soaked dry water starch and half of the egg white, and mix with your hands until each piece of diced chicken is covered with a thin layer of starch and feels sticky on your hands.

After basting the diced chicken, Feng Zhengming then mixed a bowl of sauce.

While Feng Zhengming was mixing the bowl of juice, Li Huidong suddenly spoke to his two apprentices. "Have you two seen what your little uncle did? If you are not sure about seasoning during the cooking process, just like your little uncle, prepare a bowl of sauce in advance so that you can add it directly during the cooking process. Bowl juice to taste.”

When Zhang Lei and Yang Peng heard what Master said, they immediately agreed in unison: "I understand, Master."

At the same time, the two of them also watched carefully how Feng Zhengming prepared the bowl of juice.

In a small bowl, first put onion and pepper cooking wine, then a small amount of salt and sugar, then add soy sauce and dark soy sauce, some clear soup, and finally add cornstarch dissolved in water.

After getting ready, Feng Zhengming brought the pot and spoon passed to him by his master.

After cleaning, he stood in front of the stove next to the eldest brother.

Heat the pot first, then pour a spoonful of cold oil into the pot and moisten the pot with oil.

Li Huidong said to the two apprentices again: "Have you seen your uncle moisten the pot? You two should also pay attention to this. For example, when frying some starchy vegetables, you must moisten the pot in advance, otherwise the ingredients will stick to the pot. Understand?"

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng responded again: "I understand, Master."

After Feng Zhengming wets the pot, pour oil into the pot. When the oil is cold, put the walnut kernels in the pot first.

As the oil temperature gradually rises, the walnut kernels are gradually fried until they become crispy.

Take out the walnut kernels. When the oil temperature is about [-] to [-]%, Feng Zhengming puts the diced chicken directly into the pot.

Add the diced chicken to the pot and quickly spread it out with a frying spoon.

As the oil temperature rises, the diced chicken gradually turns white. When it is about seven or eight degrees of maturity, it is taken out of the pot and poured out.

Put a little lard, pepper oil and peanut oil in the pot, first stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic until fragrant.

Next, add the sweet noodle sauce into the pot, and quickly spread the sweet noodle sauce in the pot with a frying spoon.

Li Huidong reminded the two apprentices from the side: "Looking at the cooking process of your little uncle, this step of flying the sauce is also very critical. If the sauce is not fried well, it is not the fried chicken with sauce."

Feng Zhengming stir-fried the sauce in the pot until it started to bubble, then scooped up a spoonful of the sauce into the pot with a frying spoon.

Still stirring quickly with a frying spoon, the sauce in the pot gradually becomes thicker.

Then add the diced chicken to the pot and stir-fry quickly so that the sauce in the pot quickly and evenly coats the surface of each diced chicken.

The whole frying process is very fast. Finally, put the walnut kernels in the pot and turn off the heat. While stirring, take the diced chicken out of the pot and put it on a plate.

Feng Zhengming's plate of "Sauce-fried Chicken" is completed.

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng, who were watching on the sidelines, were a little stunned.

The two of them really didn't expect that their little uncle was so good at his craftsmanship. From the preliminary preparation to cooking, the process was done in one go and very neatly.

The sauce-fried diced chicken on the plate is coated with sauce on the surface, but not completely covered.

At the same time, there was almost no soup or oil spilled on the plate.

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng were still staring, and Li Huidong spoke again: "Okay, stop looking at it, and hurry up and serve this plate of "Chicken with Soy Sauce" to the front."

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng came to their senses and responded, immediately reaching out to serve the food.

In the end, Lin Jiacheng went out to serve the dish.

After the dishes were taken away, Li Huidong looked at Feng Zhengming who had put away the pots and spoons with a look of appreciation on his face.

"Junior brother, you have only been with Master for two years, and your cooking skills are really neat."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Brother, please don't laugh at me. I still don't have enough experience. I'm really a little nervous about today's "Chicken with Soy Sauce"."

Li Huidong laughed and said, "The more I cook the stove, the less nervous I will be."
