Chang Jianjun, bearing a great mission, sneaked into the canteen with a mask on, carrying a cabbage and dragging an onion out.
His thoughts were simple.
If that dazed patient can get free chicken by buying a chicken, why can’t I get free chicken by stealing vegetables?
Although Chang Jianjun wasn’t sure if he could still eat.
"So this is what stealing feels like!" After sneaking back to the inpatient building from the canteen, Chang Jianjun had a profound understanding of this term.
It wasn’t even far, yet he felt a strange sense of thrill inside.
"Mr. Chen, I stole the vegetables."
Chen Mo looked at what Chang Jianjun brought and found it quite unbelievable, "Even better than when I played QQ Farm in high school."
"I still play it now, it’s all athyst land, how about you?"
Chen Mo felt a sense of defeat, "I reached the black land level and then my phone was confiscated by the teacher..."
Chang Jianjun felt very sympathetic and silently returned to watch Mr. Chen cook from the little yellow stool.
LuLu ca back again, "Are the noodles gone?"
Chen Mo looked wordlessly at this female strear, "LuLu, what’s up with your fans, why are there so many hospitalized?"
"Ah? Well, you know, people in the hospital generally have nothing to do and are bored, so they browse TikTok and end up seeing the local livestream, isn’t that normal?"
LuLu didn’t dare to reveal that she was collecting intel; otherwise, if Boss Xiao Chen wasn’t willing, it would be ga over.
Chen Mo didn’t suspect much, "Alright, let them wait a bit then, the previous thod was too slow, I’ll change to a way where I can make more at once."
LuLu was delighted. Earlier, while passing by the first floor, she was almost dragged into a ward by the patients for a beating. If they could make more, it would be better if everyone could have so.
Taking this opportunity, LuLu also sat down to rest, "If only Boss He were here, I really need soone to massage my feet and legs."
At the bridgehead, Shanshui Hall.
He Chunming clenched his fists, Damn it, why didn’t you say earlier? I’ve been hesitating for two days and didn’t dare to go to the hospital to set up a stall for foot washing. If I knew there was real business, I would have gone today!
Originally, LuLu wanted to have a chat with her fans, but the big brother from Yueyun Pavilion generously sent two supercars, so LuLu could only temporarily point the cara at Boss Xiao Chen cooking.
Advanced Braised Chicken in Brown Sauce, after watching it twice, Chen Mo sumd up the main difficulty, the caralization.
This is quite different from the regular version of Braised Chicken in Brown Sauce. The regular version basically uses soy sauce for coloring, giving it a salty taste with a hint of soy, very much in line with local tastes.
The advanced version not only uses caralization but also adds sugar, making the taste more layered. Of course, this is just Chen Mo’s guess; he won’t know until he actually makes a batch.
Fifty chickens, without exaggeration, Chen Mo chopped all of them into pieces and packed them into five large buckets.
According to the recipe’s demands, cut the celery into sections and the onions into cubes, sprinkling them into the five large buckets, respectively.
"So celery and onion can also remove fishiness; doing it this way seems a bit better than using cooking wine?"
Chen Mo wasn’t quite sure, but he decided to follow the recipe and do it once.
Having done this, he began to tackle the big challenge of the advanced version—caral sauce.
At this mont, in Ward 408, Hou Yao was carefully examining with his phone, "Not simple."
"What?" Mu Xin couldn’t be bothered to watch the livestream; just looking at Chen Mo made him angry.
Hou Yao tilted the screen for Lao Mu to see, "Look, Boss Xiao Chen’s thod of removing the fishiness refers to Western cuisine techniques."
"Ridiculous!" Lao Mu said, speechless.
Hou Yao, however, slightly shook his head, "No, if it were other dishes, this way of removing the fishiness might be a bit ridiculous, but doing this with Braised Chicken in Brown Sauce actually inspired ."
Mu Xin took a sip of alcohol, unwilling to listen further!
Fang Zhizhong beca interested, "Mr. Hou, tell more, why is it ridiculous for other dishes and just right for Braised Chicken in Brown Sauce?"
When it cos to cooking chicken, Hou Yao has a say, having cooked Cantonese cuisine for thirty years is not for nothing,
"You know, chicken, to remove the fishiness, is usually marinated with cooking wine and pepper, blanched to remove the scum, or soaked in cold water for a long ti."
"But these three thods all have significant drawbacks. Using cooking wine to remove fishiness inevitably incorporates so of the flavor of the wine, which a sensitive palate can easily detect.
Blanching to remove the scum makes the chicken go from raw to cooked, altering the texture during subsequent cooking.
Cold water soaking is okay at ho, but not in a restaurant... what does ’made fresh to order’ even an? Right?"
Though Fang Zhizhong didn’t quite understand, he felt it was very impressive, "So basically you’re saying Boss Xiao Chen’s thod is pretty badass? Then we should definitely try a serving later."
Hou Yao nodded, "Not exactly badass, but it’s very creative, co, have a drink."
The three clinked glasses, and Fang Zhizhong promptly moved over to watch the livestream, making Mu Xin even angrier.
In the livestream.
Chen Mo turned the heat to low and added a bit of sugar to the black pot; Hou Yao couldn’t help but marveled at the lting speed of the sugar, "Good pot!"
Under the gentle heat, the sugar continued to lt, gradually bubbling up with fine bubbles. Chen Mo continually moved the pot and ladle, occasionally scooping it up to check the color.
When the light ball reached the center of the highlight, caralized sauce!
At this mont, the caral appeared in a blood-red yet translucent shade; scooping it up and letting it fall revealed a beautiful glaze, like glass!
And just at this mont, Chen Mo felt as if the light ball before him was moving across the progress bar at a speed he’d never seen before, causing his hand movents to hasten.
Sweet bean paste!
Yellow bean paste!
Adding only a small amount into the caral, reportedly this step is called caralized sauce flying, the two sauces fell into the caral and imdiately started bubbling even more densely.
Continue to stir-fry, adding five-spice powder to the pot.
The paste separated and blended in the caral, and a mixed sauce aroma gradually wafted from above the black pot, completely different from the aroma of stir-frying soy sauce.
Both LuLu and Chang Jianjun looked over, both swallowed hard.
Chang Jianjun was speechless; damn, just the basic ingredients were not added yet, and it already slled this good. How fragrant would it be when the chicken is added?
When the aroma of both sauces was fully brought out, Chen Mo looked a bit regretfully at the evaluation of this step, which was only {{not bad}}, lower than {{perfect}} by one level.
There was indeed no way.
He didn’t expect that when adding the sauce, the progress bar would suddenly speed up, indicating that there was only a brief mont when the caral was best suited for adding the sauces.
’Must rember this next ti!’
Chen Mo added boiling water to the pot, pouring the pot of caral sauce water into the electric pot to simr after it boiled.
Cleaned the black pot.
Now, it was truly the mont to showcase his technique!
