After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 151 Fried Chicken
Whenever the heat rises, the rich aroma of meat will drift in the wind, making people salivate.

Different from the taste of meat dumplings, sweet dumplings have a different flavor.

The air is filled with a faint sweetness and the fresh aroma of rice dumplings.

As the cooking process progresses, the sweet molecules belonging to the candied dates are gradually released into the air, blending with the fragrance of the rice dumplings leaves, creating a warm and sweet atmosphere.

This aroma is not as strong as that of rice dumplings, but it is more refreshing and pleasant, as if it can instantly take away all worries and fatigue, making people immersed in tranquility and happiness.

While Yu Meiwen was cooking the rice dumplings, Jiang Li went back to the Yue Lai Restaurant next door.

She took out some salted duck eggs that she had pickled earlier from the space, so it wasn't like she was taking her rice dumplings for nothing.

Yu Meiwen cooked those rice dumplings in a pressure cooker, which took about an hour to cook.

When eating sweet rice dumplings, Jiang Li prefers to add some white sugar, which makes it taste sweeter.

Speaking of the taste of sweet rice dumplings, because its filling is candied dates, its unique sweet taste has captured the hearts of many diners.

The sweetness of candied dates and the softness of glutinous rice blend together to create an indescribable deliciousness.

When Jiang Li took a bite, the sweetness of the candied dates, combined with the glutinous rice and the white sugar on the outside, instantly bloomed in her mouth.

It was as if a warm current was flowing slowly, gently awakening her taste buds.

This kind of sweetness is neither greasy nor dry, just right, making people unable to help but take one bite after another.

Although Jiang Li prefers meat dumplings, she also loves the softness of candied date dumplings.

After being fully soaked and cooked, the glutinous rice becomes extremely soft and sticky, and it melts in the mouth without the need to chew hard.

The addition of candied dates adds a unique layer of texture to the soft and glutinous taste.

Jiang Li could feel the stickiness of glutinous rice and the toughness of candied dates intertwined in his mouth, creating a wonderful taste experience.

This soft and chewy feeling is really addictive.

However, although the sweet rice dumplings wrapped with candied dates are delicious, Jiang Li always feels a little greasy after eating too much.

At this time, she needs to try some rice dumplings to change her taste.

The first thing Yu Meiwen ate was meat rice dumplings. She was actually not very interested in sweet rice dumplings. If her daughter didn’t like them, she wouldn’t have made sweet rice dumplings.

Compared with the sweet taste of candied date dumplings, the rich meaty aroma and mellow taste of meat dumplings are obviously more suitable for Yu Meiwen's taste.

After being marinated, the pork belly is tightly combined with the glutinous rice.

During the cooking process, the aroma of meat and rice permeate each other, making every grain of rice full of the deliciousness of gravy.

This flavor has both the mellowness and deliciousness of pork and the sweetness and softness of glutinous rice. The two complement each other to form a unique delicacy.

When Yu Meiwen took a bite, the aroma of meat filled her entire mouth instantly, making her intoxicated.

"Meat dumplings are still more delicious."

Yu Meiwen chewed the rice dumpling in her mouth in small bites and couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Li also likes the rich and varied taste of the rice dumplings, which is unforgettable.

The glutinous rice becomes soft, sticky and tender after cooking, which forms a sharp contrast with the tenderness and juiciness of the pork belly.

She could feel the softness of the glutinous rice slowly melting in her mouth, while the pork belly had a hint of chewiness. The two intertwined in her mouth, forming a unique taste experience.

This soft and chewy texture makes people eat it with relish and leave a lasting aftertaste. After eating the zongzi and chatting for a while, it was time for dinner, so Jiang Li took his zongzi and went home.

When he got home, Jiang Xu's roommates had already left.

"Why did they leave so early? Didn't they stay for dinner?"

Jiang Li put all the rice dumplings he brought back into the refrigerator and asked casually.

"Ah, they said they ate too much at noon and were too full, so they didn't need to eat at night, so they left."

Jiang Xu was lying on the sofa. He knew that his roommates were embarrassed to bother Jiang Li again.

Although they were very satisfied with the large number of dishes at noon, they were still worried that Jiang Li would prepare such a large table of delicious food for them in the evening.

But their worries were not unfounded. If they hadn't left, Jiang Li would indeed have cooked a lot of delicious food for them.

Since they were the only two of them at night, Jiang Li took Jiang Xu to the market and bought two fresh chickens and ingredients for beef sauce.

Jiang Li is going to make some fried chicken tonight. Since it’s fried chicken, a carbonated drink is indispensable.

So on their way home, they did not forget to go to the supermarket and buy some Coke and Sprite.

Although I didn't go to the vegetable market early in the morning, the ingredients were still very fresh. Even the whole chicken that had been stripped of its feathers looked like it had just been slaughtered alive.

In fact, most fried chicken restaurants outside sell either semi-finished pre-prepared dishes or frozen products.

It is impossible to have fried chicken made from such fresh chicken.

The main reason is the cost issue. After all, the price of frozen chicken is very low and cannot be compared with the price of fresh chicken.

But if we just talk about the quality of the meat, the two types of chicken are completely different, and the taste and texture are also very different.

After returning home, Jiang Li began to prepare fried chicken.

First, separate the two chickens into different parts, and then soak them in water. This step is to force out the blood so that the fried chicken will not have a fishy taste.

In addition to the ingredients themselves, the seasoning used to marinate fried chicken is also very important. Seasoning is often an important part of determining the taste of a dish.

After taking out the soaked chicken pieces and marinating them, she began to prepare the batter.

Jiang Li feels that the most soulful part of fried chicken is the batter on the outside. She doesn’t know about others, but she definitely likes to eat the batter on the outside the most.

Every time she bought fried chicken from a fried chicken shop, she always felt that the meat was not tasty. Not only did it taste fishy, ​​but the seasoning was also heavy.

She would get diarrhea sometimes after eating heavily seasoned fried chicken, but frozen chicken would definitely taste fishy and unpalatable if it wasn't seasoned heavily.

So when she was greedy and lazy, she would only eat the skin, and leave the meat to Jiang Xu.

The most important thing when frying food is the heat. Jiang Li has to concentrate and try his best to fry the chicken well.

Wait until the fried chicken in the pan gradually turns golden brown, then take it out and drain the oil in one go.

Then fry it again in the pan, then put it on a plate, sprinkle with chili powder and cumin powder, and a portion of fried chicken is ready.

When Jiang Li brought the fried chicken to the table, it was still steaming, with fat glistening on the outermost layer of the skin.

The aroma of fried chicken wafts in the air, and it has a special charm that makes it impossible to say "no" to it.

Jiang Xu took out ice cubes from the freezer, put them in a cup, and poured in a carbonated drink. It was so refreshing.
