Easy to learn, the first success rate is over 80%.
Ingredients: chicken, a little pepper (dry), 2 green peppers, 2 potatoes, ginger slices, half a bag of bean paste (it must be spicy, I use Pixian bean paste, which is very fragrant), sugar, soy sauce, chicken essence, pepper granules, aniseed and 1 bottle of beer.
Exercise:
1。 Dice chicken and potatoes and green peppers. If you use a whole chicken, you have to work hard. I suggest using frozen chicken wings or chicken legs at home. Conveniently, chicken wings are the best, that is, big chicken wings.
Cook the chicken in water until it turns white. This will make the chicken more tender and shorten the stewing time.
2。 When the oil is hot, add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. When the color turns red (saccharification), add chicken and stir fry. When the chicken turns red, add a little soy sauce and stir-fry for a while.
One of the purposes of doing this is to color the chicken, which is better in color. In addition, sugar and soy sauce can be seasoned first to remove fishy smell.
Be careful that the fire is not too big. As soon as the sugar melts, the chicken should be put in, and the frying time should not be too long. Just paint it evenly, otherwise it will be easy to paste, and it will be over.
3。 Add other materials. Look at what I ordered: 1 bottle of beer (adding beer first is afraid that the chicken in the pot will be cooked for a long time), half a bag of bean paste (according to personal taste, add more if the taste is heavy, and add less if the taste is clear), pepper, pepper granules, ginger slices and aniseed. Then start stewing.
Note: You can't add water to the whole beer. The chicken made in this way is very fragrant, but it won't smell of wine and the chicken won't come apart. If you cook a lot of chicken, you can add more beer.
4。 Hey, hey, have you noticed? Some things haven't been put in. Stew 10 minutes, less soup, add potatoes and continue stewing.
Why do you put potatoes in the back? Because it takes a long time to stew chicken, if you put potatoes at the beginning, when you stew chicken, the potatoes will turn into mud, and the whole plate will be mushy and ugly.
5。 Stew, stew, stew, stew. 10-20 minutes or so, the soup is half left. At this time, you should taste the potato. It should be soft and the taste should go in. Poke the chicken with chopsticks, which is similar. Stir-fry until the soup thickens, add green pepper, add some chicken essence and stir-fry a few times.
You're finished. Green peppers are put at the end. In fact, it has no effect on the taste, just to look good, so that the whole plate of chicken has red (morning pepper, chicken), green (green pepper) and yellow (potato), which looks very appetizing.
If you cook a lot of soup, you can make some noodles to eat. I bought naan, cut it and put it at the bottom of the plate. I poured the chicken on it, and when the chicken was almost finished, the naan was soft enough to eat. If you can't buy Naan, you can use sesame cakes instead, but the taste is not as good as Naan.
In fact, it's not complicated, just pay attention to a few links: don't fry chicken, be sure to stew it with beer, and don't put potatoes and green peppers too early. By the way, I didn't use salt, because soy sauce and bean paste are very salty. Too much bean paste is salty enough, so you can't eat it with salt.
