Another week has passed, and "Flavor of the World 2" continues to dominate the list, frantically harvesting tears from the corners of the audience's mouths.
Nowadays, the "Flavor 101" schedule is more than halfway through, and this time on the flavor stage is the most down-to-earth No. 5 player - "Chicken Style Theory".
As a food documentary with each episode independent, the episode "Flavor of the World 2" is about "eating chicken".
As soon as the fifth episode came out, netizens felt the intimacy of zero distance:
This issue is the easiest to get the same issue in the history of flavor.
The fifth issue is what makes me most identified with food and food culture, probably because we eat chicken the most every day.
In short, after reading the saliva is flowing all over again!
The way of the chicken, people have more than enough and meat is insufficient. More than 60 billion chickens are eaten globally each year, more than 8 times the number of the planet's population.
Every year, there are as many as 11 billion chickens in China alone, in other words, each of us is surrounded by 8 chickens running.
Admittedly, chickens are the most common source of poultry and meat around us, and as the first birds to be domesticated by humans, they are almost ubiquitous.
Without further ado, here's a chat about the "Ultimate Chicken Eating Guide" in this episode of Flavor, and here I will mainly talk about 7 kinds of chicken eating methods:
1. Generally think of chicken eating methods: fried chicken and stewed chicken
By this episode, we finally don't have to imagine the flavor of food out of thin air, and many of the foods included in this episode are eaten in our daily lives.
We can point to the screen and say out loud, "This, this, this, I'm going to eat tonight too!" ”
The first is the most common fried chicken on weekdays!
Fried chicken is arguably the most convenient way to cook chicken.
A few years ago, the fire of "You from the Stars" popularized the combination of Korean fried chicken + beer to the vision of the public in China.
It is said that the market in KFC and McDonald's in South Korea is not good, because the most delicious fried chicken is in a variety of small shops.
Today, in South Korea, there are more than 36,000 fried chicken shops.
Chicken skin contains four layers of fat and a lot of water, and when fried, it produces a wonderful taste, and the crispy is wrapped in a caramelized aroma, through which the tenderness of the chicken is revealed.
The "stinging" sound of biting, the full chicken filling every corner of the mouth, this satisfaction is difficult to describe in words, even the most dignified and beautiful diners, eating fried chicken is also a big meal, completely disregarding the image.
The second is the masterpiece of Northeastern cuisine, the well-known chicken stew with mushrooms.
Wild elm mushrooms are lined with thickets, one long and one large, standing side by side, golden in color, like blooming sunflowers, and dried in the autumn, the umami taste is even better.
Therefore, only the chicken stewed mushrooms in the northeast can be called the most authentic, and this dish in other places is missing the elm mushroom gifted by the spirit of the northeast mountain, which loses its soul, which cannot help but make people feel excited.
The process of chicken stewing mushrooms is not complicated, and it can be served after simmering and simmering.
But its taste is not simple, the chicken is tight in the mouth, the mushroom gently slides onto the tongue, with a delicious juice, the sweetness is so sweet that it makes people eat it.
At that time, the film crew filmed this dish in the northeast Mohe, where temperatures were minus tens of degrees Celsius every day.
The cameraman was about to lose consciousness after ten minutes of shooting, tired and hungry, and as soon as he entered the house, a pot of steaming chicken stewed mushrooms was served, full of food, and the happiness of the old food was beyond this.
When it comes to stew, there is also a taste that is the most memorable, before students leave home to go out to study, there is always a cup of stew jars at home, the most common is "ginseng chicken".
The chicken soup of ginseng stewed over a thin fire is fragrant and fragrant, and the delicious aroma and fresh elegance spread out between the mouths and teeth, and the aftertaste is long.
The chicken is stewed until it is golden brown, tender and crisp, and when it is gently touched with chopsticks, the skin peels off, and it is not ready to roll on the tongue before it can be rolled in a circle.
The elders are sitting on the side, waiting to see the end of the drink before they are willing to let you go, not to miss a single bit, it seems that all the longing and reluctance are boiling in the thick soup.
2, the world of flowers and flowers, chickens have many tricks to eat
As an all-powerful god of the earthlings, chickens have derived colorful ways of eating everywhere.
In Fujian and Taiwan, there is such a custom, on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, every household sits around a table to eat Shou Nian wine, called "irorience".
On the table were the most sumptuous dishes of the year, the years were not similar, only a pot of salt water chicken in the middle was indispensable, the chicken cut into pieces was re-stacked into the usual appearance, and the crown on the head of the chicken was not very weak, far away from the direction of the head of the family.
The family members toasted together, said some congratulations for the coming year, and then moved to clip a piece of chicken to eat, so that the year was complete.
In Hainan, there is also a similar custom, during the Spring Festival, there must be chickens on the table every day, and it is only possible to be satisfied throughout the year.
Hainan is rich in coconut trees, so with the birth of a cooking chicken magic pen - coconut chicken.
The cut Wenchang chicken is placed in a split coconut shell, added coconut water and steamed over high heat.
The fat in the boiling water of the clear soup precipitates, and the fat of the chicken and the sweet water and milk of the coconut juice blend together, which has a great taste, so that people hate not being able to swallow the tongue, so as not to lose the taste of this world.
And France, thousands of miles away, also has such a dish that will be tongue-in-cheek - creamy Bresse chicken.
The hero does not ask the provenance, and the chicken still looks at the dignity and inferiority. Some chickens can only be used to feed their stomachs, and some chickens can enjoy food because of their excellent meat quality, and Brees Chicken is the latter.
Based on cream and white wine, morels add to the country's coolness, and the creamy Bresse chicken is cooked with a powerful texture, and the creamy sweetness complements the mellowness of the wine.
3, the ultimate way to eat chicken: eating is not chicken, is the sense of ceremony!
Chicken, source of life is higher than life, it can bring a sense of ritual satisfaction
In Tokyo's Meguro ward, there is such a bird shop (Japanese-style kebab shop) that attracts people.
With a Michelin star, the bird-burning shop is small enough to accommodate only 17 seats, but the business is particularly good, often requiring a month in advance.
The training of burning birds is strict, and the clerks here only advanced to wearing strings in the third year of entry.
Each part of the chicken has a mystery, and the details of the dismantling process determine the quality and freshness of the ingredients, and this process needs to be done by the store manager Yoshiaki Ikegawa himself.
Under strictly controlled heat, the roasted chicken wings are heated evenly, the sauce moisturizes the skin, and the caramel is tender and tender.
There is also a "lantern" that strings together chicken liver and other offal and egg cells, which can obtain a variety of completely different flavors after grilling, and the taste is complex and mysterious.
Diners are also seriously polarized for this reason, and the lovers are fascinated, and the fearful ones are far away.
Similarly, there are grilled chicken livers, grilled chicken gizzards, roast chicken cartilage...
From meat to miscellaneous, a chicken finely distinguishes dozens of different delicacies, which is the ultimate in ingredient processing.
"Grilled skewers for a lifetime", facing the camera, Ikegawa Yoshiaki said his life pursuits.
Putting one's life's efforts into one thing and one thing, the Japanese call this "lifelong suspense."
Guest reservations, only 17 seats, the chef's clothing, exquisite division of labor, exquisite grilling method, ordinary roast chicken, forced them to have a full sense of ceremony.
It even sublimated him into his entire life, which is a lifelong thing. There is such a pursuit, that is, the taste is not good, you can also feel his rich emotions when you eat it.
Humans domesticated and trained chickens, but chickens also changed human lives, following human migration, trade and war, and even participating in the process of human civilization.
Most of the chicken in this issue is some of the delicacies circulating in the market, and it is also the most insignificant "flavor" in our lives, and "Flavor of the World" finds these and interprets it in the most moving lens language.
Ryunosuke Wasagawa said, "In order to be happy in life, you must love daily chores. ”
Chicken, the most everyday life, has such a great satisfaction.
