God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

Li Heng glanced at the ingredients on the stove, and his eyes were drawn to the two chickens.

"That's it."

Li Heng made up his mind and said, "Let's eat braised chicken and rice tonight."

Braised chicken, also known as fragrant chicken pot and thick sauce chicken pot, is a home-cooked dish of Shandong cuisine.

The main ingredient is chicken. You can use a whole chicken or just chicken legs. The chicken skin can be removed or removed, depending on your personal preference.

It is stewed with peppers, potatoes, enoki mushrooms, small green vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, etc.

This is one of Li Heng's favorite dishes.

When Li Heng was in college, the takeout he ordered most often was braised chicken.

But Li Heng was a little worried. Two chickens might not be enough for the three of them.

Forget it, if the food is not enough, just eat more rice. The rice with soup is also good.

"Braised chicken? Another new dish name, yay!"

Lu Xiaoxiao jumped up happily.

Although she had never heard of the name of the dish, as the foodie who had been with Li Heng for the longest time, Li Heng's brother's cooking had never let her down.

Tie Ming is also looking forward to it. The dishes at the birthday banquet have already conquered him, so no matter what Li Heng does, he will support it unconditionally.

In order to have an early meal, Li Heng did not leave the two of them idle.

Lu Xiaoxiao was assigned to wash vegetables, and Tie Ming was assigned to wash rice.

Li Heng himself started to process the chicken.

Clean the two chickens briefly and cut them into small pieces.

Pour the chicken pieces into the pot and blanch them, then take them out and set aside.

Pour an appropriate amount of oil into a clean wok, heat it up, add a handful of sugar, and stir-fry over low heat until the sugar turns brown.

Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry. This step is called stir-frying.

This step seems simple, but it actually tests the chef's control over the heat.

If the sugar is put in too late, it will not fully melt into the oil, and the fried color will not be yellow enough; if it is put in too early, it will become mushy easily and taste bitter.

As a senior cook, Li Heng will certainly not make such mistakes. He always controls the heat just right.

After processing the chicken, Li Heng took out four casseroles and placed them on the fire. He divided the chicken pieces into four equal portions and placed them in the four casseroles respectively.

"Brother Li Heng, is this largest pot prepared for me?"

Lu Xiaoxiao pointed to one of the casseroles and said, as expected, brother Li Heng doted on her the most and even prepared more food for him than others.

"Little friend Li Heng, we are all your diners, how can we treat you differently?"

Tie Ming was like a wronged little daughter-in-law, who did not hesitate to put down her old face and show off in order to have one more bite.

As he watched, Li Heng felt sour juice coming out of his stomach.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Xiao Chi also came over to express his protest against this injustice.

"You talk a lot, so I just picked it up casually and didn't count them one by one. Of course there will be more and less."

Li Heng poked Lu's small forehead with his finger and said.

"Okay, okay, I really admire you three."

Li Heng said while redistributing the shares of the four casseroles.

"This is too much..."

"This is missing..."

After another adjustment, the three foodies each selected a casserole that they were satisfied with.

Good guy, the dishes have been distributed before they are ready. Li Heng called him "good guy."

After driving the three troublemakers aside, Li Heng began the next steps.

Add the onion, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise and other seasonings to the casserole and stir-fry quickly. Add a small amount of Baihua stuffed rice and soy sauce, and pour in water to cover the chicken pieces.

Cover the lid, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes. At this time, the chicken has been stewed and the soup has become thick.

"Gulu, Guru."

The soup in the casserole was quickly boiled by the fire, and the bubbles kept pushing against the lid of the casserole. A hint of fragrance came out of the casserole along the cracks on the edge of the casserole.

It aroused the turbulent hearts of the few foodies in the kitchen. Every time they watched Li Heng cook, it was painful and joyful.

The joy comes from being able to witness the birth of each delicacy with one's own eyes, and the pain comes from not being able to eat the delicacies right away. This is simply a kind of torture for a foodie.

In terms of suffering, Lu Xiaoxiao has the most say, because she is by Li Heng's side almost every time he cooks, and now she has a certain immunity to the sultry aroma.

Compared with her, Tie Ming and Xiao Chi's concentration was much worse.

"Little friend Li Heng, can you eat it? My saliva is almost dry."

The most anxious person was indeed Tie Ming. He asked, wiping the tears that overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Shhhhh."

Although Xiao Chi couldn't speak, just by hearing the rapid cry, one could tell that her heart was on fire at this moment.

"Don't worry, there are still a few steps to go."

Li Heng slowly opened the lid of the casserole.

The covered air waves spread out along with the fragrance and instantly filled the whole room.

"It smells so good."

Tie Ming closed his eyes and felt the overflowing fragrance with forgetfulness, as if he was in a sea of ​​braised chicken.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Xiaochi also guarded the casserole they chose, greedily inhaling the wafting fragrance.

Li Heng gathered a few people together, put the pepper segments cut in advance into the casserole, used high heat to reduce the juice, and at the same time stirred constantly with a shovel to prevent sticking to the pot.

After the braised chicken was finished, Li Heng put the four casseroles on the table and said, "It's ready to eat."

This must be the most beautiful words they have heard today.

Lu Xiaoxiao eagerly took out her special rice bowl and filled herself a bowl of rice.

Tie Ming followed closely and took out an exclusive bowl he made himself.

Li Heng also filled a bowl of rice for himself and Xiao Chi, and the three of them stopped talking nonsense and started showing off.

A bite of chicken paired with a big bite of rice.

The rice is fragrant and glutinous, the chicken is lean but not oily, and oily but not greasy.

What could be more satisfying than this moment?

Several people ate one bite after another, not even taking the time to appreciate the deliciousness of the braised chicken.

Lu Xiaoxiao was indeed a master at cooking. He finished the first bowl of rice first, and the chicken nuggets in the casserole also reached the bottom.

"Why is there so little meat?"

Lu Xiaoxiao complained that she had just tasted the taste, but why was the meat gone?

Everyone was busy cooking, and no one paid attention to her.

Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, then served a second bowl of rice. He poured the rice directly into the casserole and stirred it with chopsticks to fully combine the soup and rice.

Lu Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that this meal was more enjoyable than eating meat.

It turns out that the rich soup is the essence of this pot of braised chicken. Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise his own wit.

Soon Lu Xiaoxiao had finished the second bowl of rice with the soup, and it didn't take long before Tie Ming and Xiao Chi also emptied their portions.

Li Heng, who was a small eater, was full after eating only half of the meal. He put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.

As a result, the half pot of braised chicken left by Li Heng was targeted by three foodies at the same time. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that the outside world was not as good as the inside of the clan, so he restrained himself a lot and did not make any secrets for the half bowl of braised chicken. trick.

Tie Ming and Xiao Chi, on the other hand, did not use any dirty tricks because they were still novices with zero experience in grabbing food.

If this were placed in Tiandao Sect, it would have been chaos.

The scene today was very harmonious. After some discussion, the three foodies decided to share half of the pot of braised chicken equally.

One piece for you, one piece for me, and another piece for him. In the end, the last piece was torn into three pieces.

Without it, what we pursue is fairness.
