Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 99: Mashed Potatoes and Fried Chicken Legs
Fried chicken is a very popular dish all over the world.

Among them, the main schools are:
More recognized by the world as the birthplace of fried chicken - beautiful fried chicken;

Peninsula-style fried chicken and small-time fried chicken influenced by the United States;

And local fried chicken with Chinese flavor.

Taste and texture preferences vary from region to region for various reasons.

Therefore, it also presents different characteristics.

Today we unlocked the mashed potato fried chicken.
It obviously integrates the local flavor of China.

After contacting Mr. Jin from the butcher shop and asking him to add some chicken legs today.

Li Rui went to the vegetable market, where he bought a basket of potatoes and other necessary ingredients.

Common potatoes on the market are divided into several types, including yellow skin, black skin, and red skin.

Yellow potatoes have a high starch content and are very suitable for making mashed potatoes.

Compared with red-skinned potatoes, yellow-skinned potatoes are cheaper, and the mashed potatoes made from them have a more crunchy texture and a richer flavor, which is very much in line with the appetite of Chinese people.

Back to Fonda's store,

Li Rui began to prepare for today.

Ma Jinge also came early this morning and helped Li Rui.

The preparation of chicken legs in mashed potato fried chicken is not much different from the previous fried chicken.

The special thing is in this mashed potatoes.

Peel the potatoes and cut into thick slices.

After peeling the potatoes, you need to rinse them in clean water.

The flushing process,
It can remove the starch on the surface of potato cubes.

When making in batches, the flushing effect is very obvious.

Starch stains in the pot will be significantly reduced.

Steam the potatoes for 20 minutes.

While the potatoes are steaming, prepare the sauce for the mashed potatoes.

Heat oil in a pan until the temperature is about 60%, around degrees.

Tie the Hedong scallions into knots and cut the onions into shreds.

Place in oil pan.

At this temperature, if you put your hand above the oil pan, you will feel a slight heat, and there will be slight bubbles on the surface of the onions in the pan, but they are not easy to burn.

Fry the scallions and onions until they are fragrant and slightly charred.

Pick out.

Then add black pepper, turn to medium heat, and simmer for two or three minutes to allow the aroma of black pepper to be fully released.

Turn off the heat.

Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce and sugar to enhance flavor and stir well.

Finally, pour in hot water and mix the starch into the sauce.

After black pepper is put into the oil pan, the temperature will rise. Turning off the heat is to ensure that the oyster sauce does not lose its flavor under high temperature.

Black pepper sauce is ready.

The pony next to him also opened the lid of the pot of steamed potatoes.

At this point, you can easily poke a hole in the potato with chopsticks.

"Crush it." Li Rui ordered.

"Okay, lead, um, boss."

The pony is not tall, but he is very strong.

The slender hands grasped the rolling pin and flew it up and down, and soon the potatoes were mashed into a paste.

(If you don’t have a Nanhai Huanghuali rolling pin, you can use a fork or a special tool instead)
Since mashed potatoes need to be eaten with fried chicken legs,
It has to be passed through the sieve again to be fine enough.

Li Rui took the sieved mashed potatoes, added black pepper sauce, hot milk and salt into it, and then stirred it.

The mashed potatoes are light yellow and gradually turn dark brown as they are stirred.

During this process, you can clearly feel the smoothness and tenderness of the mashed potatoes.

If you get a little closer like Majingo did.

You can also see the tiny, sandy particles of mashed potatoes.

She couldn't help but say:

"Boss, these mashed potatoes smell so good."

In order to improve employees' work efficiency, their surplus value is exploited ruthlessly.

Li Rui has always had a rule when treating his employees.

"Come on, pony, eat your fill before you work." In the morning,
Majingo also resolved a doubt in his mind.

That is where the used oil in this fried chicken shop goes.

The greasy little car that was lost before drove to the store door again after a phone call from the boss.

Li Rui picked up two oil drums and started a deal with the master in the car.

Ma Jinge took this opportunity to take a closer look.

The chemical company provided relevant qualification certificates and used these oils as raw materials to make other products.

Obviously it is not a gutter oil company.

It takes a certain amount of time for the ingredients to be marinated so that they can absorb the flavor.

in the afternoon,
The fried chicken shop officially opened for business.

The number of customers coming to buy fried chicken has visibly increased compared to the previous two days.

As soon as Xiao Ma turned over the sign, several people rushed in.

"This is it, right? I heard the secret recipe of the chicken wings here is very spicy?"

"Yes, the country of chickens."

Yesterday's secret spicy wings left a deep impression on people.

Diners who like to challenge themselves come here to taste the food.

Of course, people soon noticed, and the fried chicken shop introduced a new product - fried chicken legs with mashed potatoes.

"Boss, give me one to try." A customer ordered.

"Hold on."

Li Rui deep-fried chicken legs.

Xiao Ma served a bowl of mashed potatoes.

At this time, the mashed potatoes are kept warm in the pot. They are still hot when served and have an enticing aroma.

The chicken legs used are the drumsticks that are part of the tibia and fibula.

Eat it with the bones.

In addition to a spoon for eating mashed potatoes, of course gloves were also included with the meal.

There happened to be space in the store.
The customer then put the fried chicken legs with mashed potatoes on the table.

He put on gloves and held the chicken drumstick in his hand.

The chicken legs just out of the pan are still a little hot, and the golden and crispy crust looks very tempting.

He first took a small bite of the chicken leg.

Try the original flavor.

The chicken thighs inside tasted tender and juicy.

It was neither dry nor dull, which made him very satisfied.

In addition, the customer also tasted a faint milky flavor.

This is because when making fried chicken legs, in order to better match the overall taste of this delicacy, Li Rui added more milk to the batter compared to the fried chicken he made two days ago.

The chicken drumsticks alone are delicious.

But he was also a little curious about what it would taste like after being covered in mashed potatoes.

So the customer poked the fried chicken leg into the mashed potatoes.

Freshly pulled chicken legs,
The sticky mashed potatoes on the surface were still dripping slowly.

It seems that not a single drop is wanted to be wasted.

The customer simply tilted his head and slowly put the chicken leg into his mouth.

The brown mashed potatoes are neither salty nor bland, and have just the right consistency.

Although it is slightly spicy due to the addition of black pepper, it is buffered by butter and milk, and the overall taste is very mellow.

Add fried chicken wrapped in mashed potatoes, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

It's a perfect match.

One bite is very satisfying.

This customer could no longer bear to take just a bite of the fried chicken leg.

Every subsequent bite must be dipped in plenty of mashed potatoes.

The sandy and smooth texture of mashed potatoes, the tender meat, and the crispy crust, three completely different tastes, combined together, made him unable to stop.

The customer waved:

"Boss, two more chicken legs please."
