Chapter 284 Boneless Chicken Tenders (3)
While the clerk was still queuing up to buy "boneless chicken tenders", Liu Yuan and others, who knew that Wen Mingtang was making a new snack today, did not return to the lobby after lunch, but simply stayed in the kitchen to chat with Wen Mingtang and others. Waiting for snacks.
Seeing that the chef had finished cleaning up, Wen Mingtang brought out the prepared "boneless chicken fillet". As soon as the battered, powdered and marinated "boneless chicken fillet" was put into the oil pan, there were countless bubbles rushing over it. It came out and wrapped around the boneless chicken tenders cut into strips.
The boneless chicken tenders wrapped in countless oil bubbles tumbled in the oil pan, gradually rising to the surface, and the color gradually changed from light white to light golden.
Wen Mingtang took out the fried "boneless chicken fillet" with a whisk, and sprinkled it with salt and pepper, five-spice powder, chili powder, cumin powder according to his personal taste preference, and waited until the "boneless chicken fillet" was covered with spice powder. Wrap it evenly and quickly pour it into the oil paper bag. Put a bamboo skewer on the boneless chicken fillet in the oil paper bag and hand it over.
This first portion of "boneless chicken tenders" fell into Liu Yuan's hands! The "boneless chicken tenders" that have just come out of the pan can still feel the "boiling" heat even through the oil paper package. The fingertips are slightly numb from the heat, and you can smell the rich meat aroma and spices. How could Liu Yuan be willing to let go when the taste and saliva kept coming out of his mouth and tongue?
What's that slight numbness? Bear it!
Holding a bamboo skewer in his hand, he inserted one of the boneless chicken fillets and brought it out. How could he resist the smell of fried meat? After blowing on the boneless chicken fillet to take away some of the "hot" heat, Liu Yuan stepped forward and took a bite.
There was a "click" sound at the entrance, and the batter wrapped around the chicken tenders rolled around in the oil pan to form a crispy shell! There isn't much batter, just a thin layer, so when you bite into that layer, you can taste the tender chicken under the crispy texture.
After Liu Yuan chatted with Wen Mingtang and others, he knew that the chicken tenders were made of chicken breast.
Chicken breast has no oil and has a dry and woody texture. Anyone who has eaten chicken will know it. But the processed chicken inside is neither dry nor woody. It bursts with a little juice when you bite it, but it is also slightly chewy.
The outer shell is crispy, the inside is juicy and chewy, and the texture is really great! Even better is the foreign spice sprinkled outside!
Cumin, salt and pepper, five-spice, chili pepper and other spices are pounded into fine powder through a stone mortar. The slightly overbearing aroma of the spices is wrapped in the crispy shell, and paired with the already tender and salty chicken tenders, it actually has an extra serving. Inexplicably appealing taste! Although the meat is not as oily and tender as beef or mutton, which is suitable for grilling, the chicken breast that was originally dry-fired can still be juicy after being marinated and deep-fried! The meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is really wonderful. It will make you want to stop!
There is no time when the snacks introduced by Chef Wen are not popular! Liu Yuan, who had the foresight to get ahead, bought two portions and ate one portion while walking. As expected, he had already seen the bottom by the time he reached the lobby.
There is still another dish waiting for me to return to my seat and sit down. While chasing the unfinished story book, holding the signature with one hand, I take a bite of the juicy and crispy boneless chicken tenders, and a mouthful of the rich and sweet caramel milk tea. A fascinating mysterious story that really gives you a sense of joy in life!
Especially when I look at my colleagues who rushed to queue up to buy boneless chicken tenders and grab snacks with the students, this happiness seems to have reached a new level.
"As a member of Dali Temple, my observation skills should be amazing, and I should also have the ability to predict." Looking at his colleagues who returned home without buying the boneless chicken fillet, Liu Yuan wrapped the last boneless chicken fillet in the oil paper. Putting it into his mouth, he said proudly, "Yesterday, when Master Wen was taking a bath, he went to Zhuangzi with Ji Caimai to buy meat. Didn't you see it? I guessed that new snacks would be served today!"
How could delicious food be left in the public kitchen waiting for them? It had already been snatched away by those greedy diners!
As he spoke, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh again: "This chicken fillet with milk tea is really a joy in life!"
Bai Zhu on the side was peeling off the fried chestnuts in his hand. Although he didn't grab the most sought-after chicken tenders, he still got the fried chestnuts.
Hearing Liu Yuan's emotion, Bai Zhu dropped a sugar-fried chestnut into his mouth, glanced at him sideways, and said unceremoniously: "The last time you enjoyed life was millet rice crispy rice with milk tea, and the last time it was... Braised duck with sour plum drink, and some with ice powder, you, Liu Yuan, really have a lot of fun in life!"
After hearing these words that choked Liu Yuan, everyone burst into laughter.
How could Liu Yuan take these embarrassing words to heart? After laughing with everyone for a moment, his eyes swept around the full lobby, and then fell on the empty table next to him with a porcelain vase with flowers. On the futon, he said "Hey" and asked curiously: "Where is Wei Fu? I haven't seen his people for most of the day. The case has been handed over to Master Zhao. Where has he gone?"
As soon as these words came out, a clerk who knew the inside story said: "Master Wei came here this morning, but less than half an hour after he came, a neighbor came over to look for him and asked if his family had eaten. Clean things, I have a stomachache, and there is nothing going on in Dali Temple now, so Mr. Wei took leave and went back to spend time with his family."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhu, who was peeling chestnuts at the side, said "Hey" and wondered: "The whole family lives under the same roof, how come only his family members suffered, but Old Wei is fine?"
"That's because our public kitchen cooks clean food!" The little official who spoke followed up with a joke, paused briefly, and then explained seriously, "It's the New Year's Eve..."
The New Year is approaching, and it’s time for most people’s stomachs to be rewarded.
The clerk said: "His neighbor bought slaughtered chicken, duck and pork meat yesterday, cooked a lot of dishes, and invited his family to have dinner. Well, Lao Wei was helping Mr. Zhao copy the case files yesterday and did not go back to eat. Evening food is eaten in the public kitchen."
"Yesterday, the neighbor treated us to an evening meal, and today his family treated him as a courtesy and invited him to eat in the morning. Our public chef made pickled beef noodles with pickled vegetables this morning, and Lao Wei liked this one, so he didn't eat it with his family. I came to Dali Temple for the morning meal. I don’t know whether it was the unclean meal yesterday or the unclean meal prepared by his family. I heard that both families were upset..." When the clerk said this, he couldn't help but shake his head. , "I heard that the commotion was quite fierce, much more serious than a normal stomach upset! No one had any strength, so Mr. Wei took leave and went back to take care of his family."
"So that's the reason." Liu Yuan secretly took a roasted chestnut from Bai Zhu's hand next to him, peeled the shell and threw it into his mouth. He tasted the pink, waxy and sweet chestnut flesh, but didn't take it to heart, "It's making me upset." Things happen all the time. After resting for two days and eating a few light meals, my stomach will recover and everything will be fine!"
