Before the arrival of the New Year, we also began to slowly feel the strong smell of the New Year. Recently, when I went to the supermarket to buy and purchase, I saw that the supermarket had already laid out the red lanterns and couplets early, and even the music was replaced by a New Year song with a New Year's flavor. The streets and alleys have also begun to have more busy business for the New Year, whether it is the hotel's Chinese New Year's Eve meal reservations, or some promotional activities, all of which have a lot of connection with the New Year.

Eating a steaming pot of steaming flower carved chicken in the cold winter can not only heal people's hearts, but also delicious nourishment.
If you want to do a good job of carved chicken, in fact, the most important thing is the selection of ingredients. Choosing a good chicken is actually half the success for this kind of carved chicken. Generally when we buy chicken, we often see that the market or the supermarket is a chicken that has been killed, or they are a whole one, or have been cut into pieces.
We can choose a whole chicken according to our needs, or we can choose to cut it into pieces. If we are picking a whole chicken, we can observe the quality of the muscle through these parts of the muscle. First look into the chicken's eyes. If the chicken's eyes are not completely closed, then the chicken is still relatively fresh. Usually when slaughtering fresh chickens, the chickens don't have their eyes completely closed, so we can judge by such a small detail.
Second we can look at the soles of chickens. When MudBall went to buy chicken before, he would often be told by his own family to look at the soles of the chickens, which actually made sense. Because the soles of the chicken can show its age stage, if the soles of the feet are thinner, then the chicken may be slightly shorter in walking time, then the chicken may be younger and younger. In addition, we can also look at the chicken feet, if the fingernails of the chicken feet are relatively long, then the chicken is not captive, generally a chicken that walks on the ground, it will be more delicious.
If we don't just look at some of the brighter chicken when we buy chicken, we need to judge the freshness of the chicken. If we buy chicken wings, then we can look at it, and if the chicken wings are very easy to break, then it is possible that the chicken is also hormonal. Buy back to fry, if the chicken is particularly easy to cook, then it is possible that such chicken is also ripened by some ripening agents, and such chicken is not very healthy to eat.
Once we've picked the chicken, we can make the carved chicken. First, we cut the chicken into pieces, blanch it in boiling water and set aside. Then heat the oil, pour a small amount of ginger slices into the pot and stir-fry, then put the chicken that has just been blanched in the pan and stir-fry, until the surface of the chicken is fried golden brown or discolored, we can add the prepared garlic and ginger.
After stir-frying evenly, we can pour in the carved wine. If you want the wine to be more intense, you can add more than the whole chicken, if you want to be less intense, you can also add a small amount of water after adding flower carving wine. Finally, add soy sauce and salt, you can also add a small amount of sugar, if you want to be more concentrated, you can put it in the rice cooker and continue simmering.
After the stew is done, such a flower carved chicken is ready. In fact, the way to eat the carved chicken can be made into the form of multi-soup, and it is simply an invincible meal to eat with such a soup sauce drizzled with rice. Of course, it can also be made into a dry pot, and the dry pot is boiled while turning on a low heat, and the taste is also very high. If you are interested in small partners, don't forget to collect this menu, and of course, don't forget to give mud balls a thumbs up!
