How to make chicken delicious? Some people blanch it, while others fry it directly. Today I will teach you the correct way to make it delicious and without any fishy smell!
spent 20 yuan to buy a chicken. No matter what kind of chicken you buy, you must remember to buy a whole chicken with an anklet. Chicken like this is guaranteed in terms of hygiene and quality! First, cut off the toenails with scissors. This will make it safer for elderly people or children at home to eat. Next, cut off the chicken wing tips and chicken butt . Many people ignore this when handling chicken. The chicken wing tips are where the lymph glands are most concentrated, and there are some bad substances, so they must be removed. Finally, chop the chicken into small pieces and put them in a large plate.
Pour in half a can of beer, then pour in water and wash it. Many friends say that chicken always tastes fishy no matter how you cook it. That’s because you don’t use the right method. Adding beer when cleaning will quickly wash out the blood inside, making the chicken taste less fishy and less woody. Pour off the excess dirty water from the washed chicken, rinse it again with running water, and set it aside to drain.
Next, prepare a head of garlic, clove by clove, flatten it with a knife, put it in a bowl and set aside. Prepare a green onion, cut it into small sections with a diagonal knife, and put it in a bowl for later use. Friends who like spicy food can prepare a green chili without removing the seeds. Chili seeds are also very nutritious to eat. Cut them into small pieces and set aside. Next, prepare two cute big potatoes, because children like to eat them very much. Peel off the skin and cut them into thick slices. Finally, change the knife and cut them into small pieces for later use.
Soak the dried mushrooms and cauliflower in advance, squeeze out the water, and tear them into small pieces. Just like when we usually stew chicken or stewed ribs, put some mushrooms and cauliflower in it. The taste will be extra fragrant and it is very nutritious to eat. Next, let’s make a sauce. Add one spoonful of fermented bean curd cubes and three tablespoons of light soy sauce to the bowl. One tablespoon of dark soy sauce, two tablespoons of table salt, and one small spoonful of white sugar, instead of MSG for freshness, crush them with a spoon.
Put some cooking oil in the pot. Do not heat it first. Add a small spoonful of white sugar and stir-fry it until it turns a brown color. When stir-frying the sugar color, be sure to stir over low heat and stir quickly with a shovel. Otherwise, the sugar will be easily burnt. Bitter taste, stir-fry until the sugar emits thick smoke and turns into maroon color. You can add the chicken pieces and stir evenly. Whether it is stewed chicken or stir-fried chicken , it is best not to blanch it, because the blanched chicken will taste firmer, not fresh and tender, and not easy to cook.
Stir-fry the chicken evenly, add garlic, green pepper and green onion, then pour in the prepared sauce, stir well together. In order to make the chicken taste more delicious, do not add water at this time. Stir-fry for a while to let the chicken and all the seasonings slowly blend, so that the chicken does not taste fishy. Add some Sichuan peppercorns and star anise, pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water, then add cauliflower, mushrooms and potatoes. When stewing the chicken, add boiling water so that the chicken does not taste stale and cooks faster. No need to cover, turn to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes!
The chicken cooked in this way is very easy to take off the bones. It tastes very fresh and tender, not fishy or woody, and even the soup inside is very delicious!
