Tip: How to tell if chicken is cooked?
Since it is cold, the chicken should not be too soft. Put the chicken in cold water, turn over after the water boils, cook for about 15 minutes, and then insert a thin chopstick into the inside of the chicken leg. If no blood oozes out, it proves that the chicken is cooked and can be fished out.
Usually roosters are used to make cold chickens, and hens are used to stew meat. Whether it is cold salad or stew soup, it is recommended to choose native chicken instead of fat and tender broiler. Good ingredients are also cultivated by time and environment, and you will know when you eat them.
Many friends from other places have asked me how to make "red oil". In fact, the hot sauce and Chili oil sold in supermarkets are not the same as the local "red oil" in Sichuan. The red oil commonly used in Sichuan cuisine is to pour hot oil into dried Chili powder and stir it evenly. It is very important to control the oil temperature, so it needs to be aired a little, otherwise the Chili noodles will be burnt at once. After the red oil is adjusted, every time you cook, you should add more pepper from the lower layer or add more oil to the surface according to your actual needs. Red oil itself does not contain additives such as peanuts and lobster sauce (supermarkets actually sell more like a meal). If you buy ready-made Chili sauce, you don't need to put salt and monosodium glutamate. Maybe peanuts, too. Sounds good.
If you are afraid of spicy food, adding less red oil will not affect the flavor; If you don't like peppers, you can put the whole pepper in and taste it, and then take it out.
To sum up briefly, a cold chicken needs four steps: boiling chicken, cutting chicken, mixing juice and mixing well. It is better to cook by yourself than to have a meal in a restaurant. The quality of chicken and oil is more reassuring.
