Chapter 137 Four famous dishes in Hainan
"Really? Brother, do you want to take Xiaoyu and me to Sanya, Hainan for a trip?" When he finished lunch and was about to arrive at school, Ye Chui told An Jing and Wang Shiyu about going to Hainan for a while. After hearing this, the two sisters were surprised, and then they showed expressions of expectation and excitement.
Growing up in an orphanage since childhood, eating is a problem, let alone going out for a trip. Of course, you can't say that you have such an opportunity.
Ye Chui nodded with a smile: "Xiao Du is going to participate in a chef competition held there. Let's go and see and cheer him on."
"But... travel is very expensive, right?" An Jing immediately thought of something after being happy and asked with a worried look on her face.
Ye Chui rubbed quiet hair: "Don't worry, we are not the poor people who can't even afford to eat before. We can still afford it for a trip. It's just fun at that time."
Ye Chui is not focused on making money during this period. The main reason for selling Xiaoyu home-cooked dishes is to take care of the two sisters and take them out for fun. Ye Chui is willing to do so as long as they are happy.
But after saying this, Ye Chui thought of something again. He turned to look at Lin Wei on the side. When talking about traveling to Hainan, Lin Wei showed a hint of envy and reluctance on her face. She thought it would be a pity to not see Ye Chui for a month - I don’t know if it was a pity to see Ye Chui or not to eat Ye Chui’s delicacies. Then she heard Ye Chui ask her with a smile: “Vivi, let’s go play together then.”
"Ah?" Lin Wei was stunned and shook her head quickly, "I'd better not go..."
Ye Chui smiled and said, "We are going to accompany Xiao Du to participate in the chef competition. There will definitely be countless delicious foods at that time. By the way, there are four famous dishes in Hainan, but they are all the best delicacies."
As he said this, Lin Wei, who was a little resistant, showed an inspiring expression: "Are the four famous dishes in Hainan delicious?"
The others next to him immediately sweated - Ye Chui's way of chasing girls is really unique...
Tian Xiaodu answered Lin Wei's words: "The four famous dishes in Hainan are very famous, Wenchang chicken, Jiaji duck, Dongshan goat, and Hele crab are all delicious foods with great backgrounds. The last time I went to participate in the four-star chef competition was held in Yalong Bay, Hainan. I tasted these dishes one by one, and they were indeed good."
Hainan's four famous dishes have their own origins. After the vegetarian exercise, these dishes were naturally cut off. However, after all, they had a great origin. When the ban on meat was lifted, people took these dishes out as signature dishes based on records in some ancient books as gimmicks for tourist cities.
"Wow, these dishes sound delicious." Lin Wei sighed, her eyes glowing. It seemed that the little greedy cat had decided to travel to Hainan with Ye Chui...
"cut!"
But at this time, Han Yuyan suddenly snorted a little unceremoniously and said to Tian Xiaodu: "Senior Brother, you are so unsavory. The last time I went to Hainan to discuss business with my grandfather, I followed him to taste the so-called four famous dishes, but the result was nothing more than that. He said that these dishes were flashy and lacked the ancient charm of thousands of times, and they could not reach the level at all!"
Tian Xiaodu couldn't help but blush: "After all, meat is poisonous for eighty years, and the classic recipes of these dishes have disappeared. However, the deliciousness of unique ingredients is not bad... Although the cooking recipes of the four famous dishes are a little different from the original deliciousness, now the food era is changing with each passing day. Maybe the original deliciousness has been restored now."
It is actually understandable that the four famous dishes are not as good as they were back then. The meat has only been recovering for two years, and these dishes are now being widely promoted as signature gimmicks. But after all, there are only a few records of these dishes. Is it easy to see the light of the food that has been improved for countless years?
Lin Wei showed a look of disappointment: "So that's what it is..."
Seeing Lin Wei's interest was reduced by half. Ye Chui glared at Han Yuyan fiercely. Why is this sister so hard to speak? He quickly smiled and continued: "Actually, I have studied the cooking methods of these four delicacies. Maybe it can give full play to the perfect taste of these ingredients and let the four famous dishes see the light of day again."
"Really?" After hearing Ye Chui say this, Lin Wei's eyes really lit up again, and even Tian Xiaodu showed an interesting expression.
Ye Chui nodded with a smile. He thought of another thing, so he continued: "When it comes to Hainan's famous dishes, there is another dish that I have to mention."
"What is it, Master?" Han Yuyan asked immediately.
"Hainan chicken rice." Ye Chui said with a smile.
"Hainan chicken rice?" Han Yuyan shook his head in confusion, "My grandpa and I stayed in Hainan for more than a month and ate all the delicacies with him, but... I have never heard of Hainan chicken rice, senior brother, where are you?"
Tian Xiaodu also shook his head: "I have never heard of Hainan chicken rice. Master, what is Hainan chicken rice?"
"Have you heard of Hainan chicken rice?" Ye Chui was stunned, and shook his head regretfully. It seemed that this famous dish, which originated from Hainan, was completely cut off in the vegetarian movement.
Hainan chicken rice originated in Wenchang City, Hainan. The most authentic way is to use Wenchang chicken as a ingredient and cook it mainly with boiling. It is fragrant and delicious, and it is nostalgic. In the last life, it spread to Southeast Asia with the wave of immigration in the early 20th century and was developed in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Among them, Hainan chicken rice in Singapore is considered to be the most authentic way. However, Ye Chui studied this delicacy before and always felt that this so-called "authentic" method was missing. Unfortunately, I have not studied it all, which is a pity.
He originally thought that he could explore the origin of Hainan chicken rice to make up for his regrets when he went to Hainan, but he did not expect that Hainan chicken rice had already lost its trace...
"Ye Chui, what is Hainan chicken rice? Is it delicious?" Lin Wei's inquiry made Ye Chui wake up from his thoughts. He smiled and nodded: "Of course it's delicious. Why don't I make this Hainan chicken rice tonight for everyone to try."
"Okay!" Lin Wei nodded happily immediately.
Ye Chui smiled and said, "Then we will decide to travel to Hainan together."
Lin Wei showed a hint of disgrace on her face, and then she smiled again: "Look at whether the Hainan chicken rice you made tonight is delicious. Wen Jing Xiaoyu, let's go to school."
After Lin Wei and others left, Ye Chui smiled and prepared to go to the kitchen to entertain guests. Han Yuyan said to Ye Chui with a bit of naughtyness: "Master, your way of chasing girls is really unique. I think Wei Wei is my master's wife."
"Haha." Ye Chui smiled at Sister Han, "Go to work!"
Han Yuyan: “…”
In the afternoon, Ye Chui began to prepare for Hainan chicken rice. Lin Wei said that if she liked this dish, she would agree to travel to Hainan together. In fact, she agreed to Ye Chui's request in disguise. She didn't like Ye Chui's dishes, but Ye Chui would always be very serious when cooking, so he also sat this Hainan chicken rice very seriously.
The chicken used to make Hainan chicken rice is naturally Wenchang chicken, but now Wenchang chicken is not available, so you can only use the tender meat of Sanhuang chicken instead.
Because I had to prepare portions of six, Ye Chui specially prepared two chickens. The chicken was cooked cleanly. Fresh tender ginger sliced and MSG were sent into the chicken's belly. Apply an appropriate amount of salt on the outer skin, and put it in boiling water and cook it over high heat.
The so-called martial fire is a strong fire, keeping the water boiling state. At this time, you must master the heat. After the chicken skin turns yellow, cook it slowly over a fine heat. When the chicken is ripe, pick it up, cut it into chicken pieces and serve it on a plate.
The chicken soup after cooking chicken is not to be wasted, it can be used to make rice that matches Hainan chicken rice.
Since there is a word rice in Hainan chicken rice, it naturally means it can be eaten as an independent meal, and rice is essential.
The rice in Hainan chicken rice is also very particular. The method is similar to the seafood chowder made by Ye Chu. Heat the chicken oil in a pot and stir-fry it with garlic. Then pour in the washed and filtered rice and stir-fry it. After the rice grains exude the strong aroma of rice, pour in the previous chicken soup and mix well, cover the pot and cook it.
One of the staple dishes of Ye Chu's fast food is chicken rice. This chicken rice is not originally from KFC recipes, but is considered to be the original method of Ye Chu's steaming and cooking. The rice made in this way exudes a stirring chicken fragrance, and the mouth is flowing and the chicken fragrance is everywhere. It is definitely an extremely delicious way to cook rice.
The remaining chicken soup can also be served with rice, which is refreshing and delicious and complement each other.
Of course, in addition to a plate of chicken, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of chicken soup, a plate of chicken dipping ingredients is essential.
The chicken cooked with white water has delicious meat but relatively single taste. Only with the chicken dipping ingredients can the chicken perfectly reflect the deliciousness.
The method of dipping chicken ingredients does not need to be very complicated. The main ingredients are onions, peppers, tender ginger. Cut them into powder and put them in a bowl. Then press the garlic into garlic with a knife and put them into the bowl. Add a little salt, squeeze some lemon juice, stir evenly, and pour a spoonful of chicken oil. The dipping chicken ingredients is done.
The taste of chicken is combined with dipped chicken ingredients, and you can definitely taste the delicious taste.
By the evening, the number of diners gradually increased. When Wang Shiyu and Lin Wei came home from school, Ye Chui smiled and brought the Hainan chicken rice to the upper floor. Some diners were attracted by the food in Ye Chui's hands, and then ordered an order from Han Yuyan to eat this.
Sister Han sighed and explained, "That one is sold. If you want to eat this customer, you can only eat your daughter, unless your daughter is a big beauty."
Diner: "…?" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
