Yongzhou Dong'an chicken, the sour and spicy taste of hometown

A city can be big, big enough to accommodate tens of millions of people,

A city can also be so small that it cannot accommodate the homesickness of a wanderer.

A person who has been wandering outside for a long time will always miss the taste of his hometown. Although the feast dishes in the metropolis are thousands of good, they are not as good as the taste of home.

Childhood happiness is always so simple, and it may bring happiness to a toy that can be loved, a comic book that is turned over and over, a candy, a new dress, or it may be a special dish of grandma.

Years later, when Grandma's face was covered with ravines, we began to switch roles. I used to accompany my grandmother around, but now I am busy in the kitchen, and my grandmother sits quietly next to me, occasionally playing hands.

The delicious meal that allows me to eat four large bowls of rice is the "Dong'an Chicken" in Yongzhou, the first of Hunan cuisine, also known as "State Banquet Cuisine". And the Dongan chicken made by grandma is also an indispensable hard dish for the New Year's Festival.

The Dong'an chicken that has just been served is still steaming, and people who can really eat Dongan chicken will generally start from below, because the meat below is the most flavorful. The tender chicken is dipped in a thick soup, fresh and elegant in one bite, the meat is tender, the fresh aroma has a sour and spicy taste, and the human delicacy is just that.

In Grandma's "secret treasure land", there are many earthy flavors that people in the city can't eat, chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, everything is fat and tender. Each one was fed by Grandma with rice, sweet potatoes, corn and wild vegetables.

The joy of living in the countryside is never worrying about eating!

I asked Grandma which chicken had never laid eggs, and Grandma pointed to the one

Good! It's you

Don't blame me for being fierce

Children who grew up in the township

Catching chickens is not a problem

Hahahaha

The chicken is plucked and the internal organs are cleaned

Then put the onion and ginger in

Bring the water to a boil first

The water in the countryside is really cold

Firewood in the countryside is also really hot

While waiting for the water to boil

You can first cut the ginger garlic red pepper and put it aside for later

Every knife and chisel is kung fu

Circle by circle

The quality of good food lies in the degree of engagement of people

It seems like a simple process

But it can't be sloppy at all

Put the chickens in

note! At this time, the fire must be adjusted to the minimum

At this time, we can see that there will be "shrimp eye bubbles" in the pot.

It's a string of small blisters

This is the performance state of the low boiling point

Keep in this low boiling point state and cook for 15 minutes

Wait until the time comes

You can poke the chicken with chopsticks

If there is no blood on the chopsticks, the chicken will have eight ripe, just that

Fish out the chicken and pass through the ice water

This way the chicken will be firmer

Chop the chicken into small pieces and set aside

Then pour oil into the pan and wait for high heat to heat

After that, turn to medium-low heat and sauté the peppercorns

Wait until you can smell the peppercorns

Pour in the ingredients prepared before and sauté until fragrant

Then add the chicken nuggets and stir-fry together with the ingredients

Wait until stir-fried after a bowl of vinegar on the side of the pan

remember! Be sure to start pouring from the edge of the pot

Because in this way acetic acid is more volatile

Stir-fry even more fragrant!

Now add salt

Add another 20 grains of sugar

We hunan cuisine does not put sugar

But many of our Hunan dishes will use white sugar instead of MSG

This will be fresher and tastier

Collect juice over high heat

It can come out of the pot

The entrance is all sour and a little spicy

Savor it, and a little bit of sweetness

Some people may not be able to adapt to its taste at first

But people who have eaten say that the more you eat, the better

When we were young, my grandmother would help us cut chicken legs

Today I want to cut a big chicken leg for grandma to eat

Grandma worked for us all her life and really worked hard

The older generation has been frugal all their lives for the sake of their children and grandchildren

Rarely think about themselves, which is a trait of their generation

Chinese traditional virtues of benevolence, filial piety, thrift, and courage have all been perfectly embodied in my grandmother's generation

Born with all things

The flavors vary from flavour to flavour

Another simple dish

It also has its own value

We are always willing to resort to food

Find those memories of love

Dongan Chicken is made up of heads, excuses, and a lingering childhood memory

That's it for today's food sharing

See you next time!

Dongan chicken, an exclusive taste of a city!
