It is said that He Shaoji, an academician in Sichuan during the Qing Dynasty, visited the government office in Housu County, Wawushan, and suffered from cold and cold, anorexia and depression.
He was anxious about academic affairs, so he asked the county chef to make an appetizer that was "spicy without the pepper and fresh meat without the fat."
The county chef racked his brains, and in a hurry, he cooked the crow rooster, served the chicken in an earthen bowl, used vine peppers to make oil, and mixed the sauce for cold dressing.
After studying politics, he praised it as "Ba Shi".
The follower got up after smelling the aroma of sesame, and the taste was really great. After taking it for three meals in a row, he felt refreshed and exclaimed, "It's fresh, tender and refreshing, a divine delicacy." Hongya Teng Pepper Chicken immediately became famous, and Hongya Bobo Chicken became famous all over the world.
Hongya Bobo Chicken - a Hongya specialty dish, among which Yaomazi Bobo Chicken is the most famous.
Bobo Chicken - Looking at the name of the dish, no one doubts that this is a good dish.
In fact, it is chicken served in a bowl, a very famous snack in my hometown.
The food culture in my hometown is not very developed. It's a rural area. If you don't go hungry, it's good. What kind of culture do you have to talk about?
The things I have tasted are pitiful, and there are not many that have any impression in my memory. No matter how famous it is, the ones who are big enough to go out of the county are even rarer.
Bobo Chicken is very famous. Friends who have tasted this dish in Hongya will be left with such an impression.
This is Bobo Chicken's luck.
It's also the luck of my hometown - fortunately, a plate of chicken finally did not leave the food culture of my hometown in the countryside blank.
Culture is a basket, anything can be put into it.
Not all things put into the basket are good.
Bobo Chicken is undoubtedly a good thing, the food is good, and the name of the dish is also exquisite.
A chicken is a chicken, and it’s still a bobo.
Is it a chicken or a bobo?
It's a bit superfluous.
All the snacks I know seem to have this problem in their names.
For example, cans of rice noodles and rice in bamboo tubes.
The names "Gu Guan" and "Bamboo Tube" are just to distinguish the characteristics of the cooking utensils, which are actually vermicelli and rice.
We didn't want to remove the "cans" and "bamboo tubes" on the front. We focused on the deliciousness, so we tolerated the problem with the name.
Come to think of it, the "Bobo" in front of Bobo Chicken is not a dispensable embellishment. The same goes for white slaughtered chicken, braised chicken, and green stewed chicken. Otherwise, if they are lumped together, wouldn't it be boring?
1. Bobo Chicken, first of all, you can taste it.
If it cannot be eaten, it cannot be considered a dish in the strict sense.
For example, carving dishes only provides a package for a dish.
Just like a piece of fashion, it is beautiful and beautiful in spring and snow, but it is far from the concept of clothes. It is acceptable for display, but it is suspicious to wear it.
Bobo Chicken is a folk dish that everyone loves.
Cooking is simple, the key is to choose the raw materials.
For the chicken, choose "running chicken".
Local native chickens are left open on the mountainside in the countryside, stealing grain from rice fields and pecking at insects in the forest. Their meat is extremely tender and fragrant, and even the bones and slag are extremely chewable.
The kind of commercial chickens that are kept in cages and fed with feed taste like chewing wood and have no taste of chicken.
Regarding the aroma of Bobo Chicken, another important reason is the use of seasoning-rattan pepper oil.
Tengjiao oil is almost made for cooking Bobo Chicken.
The hilly area of ??Hongya produces a kind of wild pepper tree that looks like a wisteria. It is said that this kind of fruit tree does not grow in other places. I have never verified it, but I would rather believe it, this is my hometown.
The vine pepper fruits in April range from green to purple, exquisite and clear, and they are alluring hanging on the tree.
Pick fresh fruits, put them in a pottery bowl, soak them in hot vegetable oil, and add fresh taro, lotus leaves, and banana leaves to mask the aroma.
This procedure is called "Close Teng Chili Oil", please note that it is "close", not "boil", although "close" is too white and too real.
Perhaps the real is often irreplaceable.
Rattan pepper oil, "spicy but no pepper (Ma: Sichuan pepper; Spicy: chili pepper)".
Crystal green, hemp but not greasy, the fragrance is so immersive that it can even penetrate the whole street.
The chicken mixed with cane pepper oil, followed by the strange fragrance, is a refreshing refreshing feeling from the mountains.
If it were replaced by pepper oil or chili oil, not to mention the heat, the color, flavor and flavor would be far inferior, and the pot would be full of overpowering minced pepper, so it wouldn't be called "Bobo Chicken" at all.
If Bobo Chicken makes its grand appearance amidst the sound of gongs and drums, and surpasses all others in skill, then the role of rattan pepper oil as a prop cannot be ignored.
Vine pepper oil is full of color, flavor and fragrance. It is not a flag gun stuck behind Bobo Chicken, nor is it a floral dress on Bobo Chicken.
These props are all clearly visible.
Bobo Chicken needs suspense.
For example, if there is a hidden hydrangea or some secret weapon, rattan pepper oil is just that.
Hidden in the sleeves, when exposed unexpectedly, the beauties and children watching the theater burst into cheers.
Therefore, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that a vine pepper tree became Bobo Chicken.
2. Bobo Chicken can still be watched.
Cook the meat until it's overcooked, just 80% heat.
Then dry them, slice them into pieces, and use bamboo skewers to sort them into groups.
Slices of meat are slices of meat, organs are organs, drumsticks are drumsticks, and wings are wings.
Dip it into the candied pepper oil soup and lift it to your mouth. It's so oily and delicious. Isn't it a bit like eating candied haws?
Sugar-coated haws on sugar-coated haws, a treat for both refined and popular tastes, suitable for both young and old.
The characteristics are also distinct - before arousing people's appetite, the first thing that appeals to people is the eye-catching hawthorn red color. After feasting the eyes, the appetite will also come.
You can also watch the chicken bowl.
The blue and white bowl is the best.
The pink meat, green soup, and emerald blue bowl have distinct layers and are pleasing to the eye.
Black pottery bowl, second.
The black is a black spot, because it has a subtle and healthy shine, so you can eat it with confidence.
The best is the log bobo.
The planks of camphor and osmanthus trees are gathered together, and the outside is fastened with bamboo strips, just like a footbath.
Smelling the fragrance of camphor trees, osmanthus trees and bamboo strips, and enjoying the colorful delicacies, no one would think of a footbath, even though the thought of a footbath makes people sick.
The most majestic footbath I have ever seen - "the best footbath in the world".
