Jianshui is a famous hometown of pottery, and its red clay pottery is lovely in color and fine in craftsmanship. One of the main products of red clay pottery is "steamer" This "pot" is actually not a pot in the ordinary sense. It looks like a bowl with a lid. Look at the pot cover, there is a protruding circular cavity in the center, such as the upper half of the hot pot. This circular cavity is the steam nozzle. In the pot, food is heated and steamed. This steamer is a great invention of Yunnan cuisine, and steamed chicken is the most typical one.
The practice of steaming chicken with water;
Put that clean chicken nuggets, onion and ginger into a steamer, placing the steamer on a suitable casserole mouth, cover the seams with batter and tissue paper, steaming for four or five hours, taking out the onion and ginger, adding pepper, and steaming the chicken. Because there is no water in the boiler, the chicken soup is full of the delicious taste of distilled water and dissolved chicken. This soup can be described as one tenth, which is very delicious. Panax notoginseng and Cordyceps are often added to the pot, which has a nourishing effect. China's diet often has cultural symbolic significance. The steamer is heated by the steam sprayed from the steam nozzle in the middle of the steamer, and the hot air rushes up to steam the food before eating. Confucius said, "You can't eat if it's not suitable", but this steamer is by going up one flight of stairs, that is, "You can't eat if it's not cooked properly".
Steamed chicken first spread in southern Yunnan. According to legend, it was invented by Yang Li, the chef of Lin 'an Prefecture (now Jianshui County), and became a famous dish in central Yunnan. 1947 was introduced to Kunming. At that time, the first steamed chicken restaurant opened in Fuzhao Street, all of which cooked this dish.
The material of steamed chicken should be local tender chicken that is neither too big nor too small, and it should also be steamed in a steamer, not a water casserole steamer. One is inconvenient, and the other is bad taste-it takes a certain environment to cultivate healthy qi.
