Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 329 - Three Cups Chicken with Bright Sauce

However, adjusting ingredients and seasonings is not something that ordinary people can do casually.

That requires sufficient understanding of ingredients and seasonings, and repeated and extensive practice to finally master it. Does this young man in his early 20s really have this ability?
The most important thing is that he didn't make the normal amount. This big pot with a diameter of 1.5 meters can feed at least four or five hundred people, right?

Can the proportion of seasonings be properly grasped? Luo Yongduo is skeptical.

Wang Fan used plenty of ingredients and didn't even add water to the stewed chicken. Hakka cuisine is known for its rich flavor, heavy oil content, and salty taste. If water were added, it might not suit the tastes of these fellow villagers.

After the chicken is stewed, a delicious aroma wafts out, and the originally yellow-white chicken is dyed into a maroon color.

Wang Fan kept turning the chicken with the big shovel in his hand, and the color of the chicken became more and more uniform.

After only five minutes of cooking, Wang Fan poured the onion slices and red pepper into the pot, and finally poured a large pot of rapeseed into it.

The general practice is to add sweet basil or perilla leaves at the end. Sweet basil is also known as basil. These two things can add different flavors to the three-cup chicken, but he didn’t have those things on hand, so he could only settle for adding some rapeseed.

Just by smelling the fragrance wafting out, Luo Yongduo knew that this dish must be very delicious, but he was also very curious about what it would taste like in his mouth.

"Brother Wang, do you mind if an old man like me takes a bite first?"

Luo Yongduo was actually very excited to see the prey, and he couldn't wait to taste the cooking skills of this younger generation.

The other party had just brought a lot of supplies, so Wang Fan naturally had no problem with such a small request. He directly took a porcelain bowl and served him a bowl of three-cup chicken.

Luo Yongduo thanked him and couldn't help but pick up the bowl and put it under his nose. He first smelled the flavor and then looked at the color carefully. Both of these made Luo Yongduo nod his head repeatedly.

You can smell the obvious smell of soy sauce and rice wine, but these two smells do not overwhelm the main flavor. They just cover up the slight fishy smell of the chicken and perfectly highlight the freshness of the chicken.

The color was even more amazing. He watched every move Wang Fan made clearly and was very sure that the young man did not use starch to thicken the sauce, but the chicken pieces in the bowl were particularly typical with bright and shiny starch.

A layer of oil perfectly wraps the rosy chicken nuggets, exuding an attractive oily sheen. It not only does not give people a greasy feeling, but makes people unable to help swallowing their saliva when they see it.

Luo Yongduo couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Handsome boy, your three-cup chicken seems to be different from the traditional method, but the aroma is really very beautiful, and the ratio of rice wine and soy sauce is just right.

The most important thing is that you controlled the heat really well. The protein in the chicken skin was fully released, creating such a perfect color and bright sauce. I'm almost drooling, hahaha."

Facing Luo Yongduo's praise, Wang Fan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Luo, for the compliment. Please try it first. To be honest, this is my first time making this dish, and I'm not sure if it will suit everyone's taste."

Luo Yongduo picked up two pieces of chicken. The red fat gathered under the chicken pieces, but it was reluctant to fall down. Luo Yongduo was amazed again when he saw it.

Has this young man been practicing since he was in the womb?
This dish has the effect of thickening without starch, and the final finished state is no less than his. To put it bluntly, none of his disciples have such skills!
As soon as I put the chicken in my mouth, the rich aroma instantly filled my mouth. The salty and fresh taste of soy sauce, the mellow flavor of rice wine, and the fragrance of the other seasonings complement each other to create a rich and layered flavor that is mellow but not greasy, and it is even more mellow than what you can smell with your nose.

Luo Yongduo took a light bite. The chicken he had brought was a three-yellow chicken. The meat was naturally tender, and the perfect cooking time made the chicken tender and chewy. The skin melted in his mouth, but the chicken meat retained a slight chewiness. The tender chicken had fine fibers, and every chew gave him a sense of elasticity and tenderness, making him feel a pleasant taste with every bite.

Luo Yongduo savored the various variations of the chicken carefully. The more he savored, the more he could taste the infinite changes in it.

"I have to say this three-cup chicken is really delicious, even better than mine."

Luo Yongduo admired sincerely in his heart. It was not that he was reluctant to give Wang Fan some food, but Wang Fan had already gone to trade with Guo with Cheng Dong and others, and had no time to listen to him here.

Compared with Luo Yongduo, Wang Fan hopes that these fellow villagers can have hot meals as soon as possible. After all, Master Luo will definitely not starve, and his home has not been flooded.

For these disaster-stricken villagers, mealtime is definitely the happiest time of the day. After eating a mouthful of hot food, all the fatigue of the day will disappear, especially since they are eating chicken today. They could already smell the fragrance of the chicken when they were working.

I have to hold back my tears to prevent them from sliding down the corners of my mouth. It's very hard!
The bowl of rice that was allocated to me was filled with chicken pieces, which were bright in color and tasted delicious and tempting. I couldn't wait to eat with others, so I immediately picked up the bowl and started to show off.

The rich and tender chicken pieces can be called "meat that makes you forget about your worries" when you chew them. Not to mention the flood, even the falling sky cannot stop them from enjoying the delicious food.

"Wow, this three cup chicken looks like it's coated in paste, hahaha."

"This is the first time I've eaten such delicious Three Cup Chicken."

"Is this young man from our Hakka family? Otherwise, how could Hakka food be so delicious?"

"It's invincible! This young man's cooking skills are truly invincible. I just passed by several other chefs, and the taste there is simply incomparable to this one."

Wang Fan's three-cup chicken was ready, and Luo Yongduo's disciples had almost finished theirs. Some made braised pork with preserved vegetables, and some made boiled chicken. After they were done, they were brought to the unified meal time.

These dishes are what Hakka people like to eat and eat frequently on weekdays, but now they are just a foil and a companion to Wang Fan's Three Cups Chicken.

"Give me more Three Cup Chicken and just one slice of Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables."

"I'm the same as him, but I want boiled chicken. Just one piece will do."

"I just want three cups of chicken, okay?"

Luo Yongduo's top disciple is already one of the best in the Cantonese cuisine world. Seeing that his dishes are not as popular as those made by that young man in his 20s, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Gathering around Master Luo Yongduo, the only one who had tasted Three Cup Chicken, several people began to ask, "Master, what do you think of the Three Cup Chicken made by this young man? What's your opinion?"
