Chapter 395: Roast Chicken with Potatoes
After simmering over high heat, remove from the water, rinse with cold water, then flatten and peel.
"Second sister, please help me peel the skin after you are done over there. I am a little too busy here."
After Zhou Mingshu prepared the potato ingredients, he was busy chopping the chicken and blanching it.
She was thinking of making two small cold dishes. She would soak mushrooms and black fungus in hot water first, and then cool them down after they were soaked.
Zhou Mingqi was peeling potatoes while watching San Ya busying around.
San Ya first washed the blanched chicken pieces and drained the water, then put the potato pieces into the oil pan and fry them over low heat until the surface was golden brown.
The fried potato cubes will become softer and more glutinous after stewing, and will taste like French fries.
After taking out the fried potatoes, there was some oil left at the bottom of the pot. Zhou Mingshu added some rock sugar and started to fry the sugar color.
Then pour the prepared chicken pieces in to quickly color them, and finally add ginger slices, garlic slices, chili peppers, soy sauce and other spices. Stir-fry evenly and then add boiling water until the chicken pieces are covered.
After the water in the pot boils, add the potato cubes and continue cooking. Zhou Mingshu also mixed some thin flour, tore it into pancakes and stuck them to the edge of the pot. He also added a handful of dried beans to increase the flavor. After boiling, turn the high heat to low and simmer.
After finishing all this, she was busy preparing a plate of hot and sour mushroom appetizer.
I also cut a plate of transformed eggs.
"Second sister, have you peeled the potatoes?"
"OK OK."
Zhou Mingqi brought over the peeled potatoes.
"Saya, these little potatoes are already cooked. What dish are you going to make?"
"I'll make some salt and pepper potatoes. They taste better than meat. Just wait."
Zhou Mingshu took the seasoning and green onions and started stir-frying.
These salt and pepper potatoes are her favorite, she will have to eat a few more later!
Zhou Mingqin was almost ready, and white smoke kept coming out of the pot.
"Sister, are you almost ready?"
"Okay, just simmer for a while and then you can lift the pot. I also fried the pork belly again, I think it will taste better."
Hearing his elder sister say this, Zhou Mingshu smiled.
Frying the pork belly before stewing will add some caramelized flavor and the meat will not taste fatty.
"That's great, Second Sister. Why don't you go to the vegetable garden and call for help so we can start cooking right away."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
As soon as Zhou Mingqi left, Zhou Mingqin rinsed the bowl with clean water.
"San Ya, we cooked two pots of food, and we can't say for sure who will eat which one. Should we serve them out in advance?"
"Haha, big sister, you can just put the small bowl on the table, and take the food out of the pot with a basin. Whoever wants to eat can eat whatever they want."
"Haha, that's a great idea."
The salt and pepper potatoes were easily made, and Zhou Mingshu served them on a plate.
She felt like something was missing on the table, and after thinking for a moment that she hadn't brought out the beer yet, she hurried over to get it.
When Qi Rui and others saw Zhou Mingqi coming over to call for help, they dropped their hoes and ran home.
"It's time to eat. I can't wait."
"Haha, I've already smelled the fragrance."
"It smells so good, I have to eat three bowls at least."
Seeing that a few ignorant people were running home and were far ahead of him, Qi Rui could not walk any longer and started to jog like them.
After arriving home, several people rushed to the well to wash their faces, hands and arms.
"Miss Mingshu, what kind of dish did you cook? It smells so good. We could smell the fragrance even from the vegetable garden."
"That's right, our stomachs are rumbling when we smell the aroma~"
The closer you smell it, the more distinct the fragrance becomes.
"Haha, we'll serve it right away. We haven't prepared any delicious dishes. Eat more vegetables and less steamed buns. Don't leave any leftovers."
Zhou Mingshu put the beer on the dining table and started to lift her pot.
She used a spatula to scoop the pancake into small pieces and mixed it evenly with the chicken in the pot, and the thick soup at the bottom of the pot was all over the dish.
A group of people gathered around and saw Zhou Mingshu put the vegetable steamed buns into a large bowl on the side and brought it to the dining table.
"Because I made two big dishes, I don't know which one you like, so I put them all in the bowl. You can help yourself to whichever you like. In addition to these, there is also a boiled egg, a dish of cold mushroom, and a dish of salt and pepper potatoes. Everyone, hurry up and grab your chopsticks and start eating."
Forget about the dishes, they don't care at all.
Just smelling the fragrant and spicy smell is enough to stimulate their sense of smell.
They all crowded around the dish of roast chicken with potatoes to eat the chicken.
Zhou Mingshu and his two sisters did not argue with them. They obediently served themselves the winter melon, vermicelli and pork belly stew.
Compared with chicken stewed with potatoes, the taste of winter melon vermicelli is more elegant. Although it is not as fragrant, it tastes very good.
Zhou Mingshu held the bowl and kept slurping the vermicelli. The pure natural kudzu vermicelli was really delicious.
She would have to find more in the mountains after a while, as what she made last year was not enough to eat.
Qi Rui and Rufeng didn't argue with those foodie boys and both chose winter melon vermicelli.
"Sir, try this salt and pepper potato dish. It's made from the small potatoes in the field. It's delicious."
Qi Rui tasted it and was truly amazed.
The outside is crispy and fragrant, with a rich salty and scallion flavor, and the inside is soft and glutinous when you bite into it.
“Delicious~”
Qi Rui nodded with satisfaction, eating one by one.
Zhou Mingqi next to him also enjoyed the meal, his cheeks were bulging with food.
She knew that San Ya was right, these little potatoes were really delicious.
She had to eat more before those people noticed.
The people next to them looked so excited about eating that they didn't even bother to drink their beer.
They ate potatoes and dried beans in big mouthfuls, and even felt that the chicken was bland.
"Miss Mingshu, what is this long thing in this dish? We have never eaten it before."
"Those are sun-dried beans. Putting them in will make the flavor better."
"No wonder, it tastes like there are beans in it."
They finished a bowl of food quickly, rinsed the bowl and came over to get some winter melon vermicelli.
No matter how delicious the food is, it should be shared equally and not just one person.
They didn't expect that the taste of this pot of winter melon stewed with vermicelli would be so different, especially the long and thin thing inside, which they had never eaten in their lives.
It looks like noodles, but the taste is completely different.
If the previous pot of stewed potatoes and chicken was a passionate foreign girl, then this pot of winter melon vermicelli was a tender and affectionate Jiangnan woman, which made them reluctant to chew it hard and swallow it whole.
"Miss Mingshu, this food is so delicious. I think I can work for you for another day."
One of the frivolous guys said with a smile.
Zhou Mingshu and his two sisters standing by laughed so hard that they covered their mouths. They really know how to praise people.
