Today, I saw a funny sentence in the forum. The main idea is that in the past, private dishes were popular, and a recipe was hidden. Now, there are all kinds of recipe posts in the online forum. Today, the challenge is the chicken stewed mushrooms that are well known in Northeast China. Alas, it's really delicious.
1. Take this chicken apart. You may not believe it. This is the first time LG has taken apart the whole chicken. In fact, there is no difficulty. First, cut off the extra fat, skin and butt of the chicken. Use a knife to aim at the joint between the thigh and the trunk of the chicken, and then cut off the two legs. Then do the same thing and take off the two wings.
2. Use a pair of scissors to cut two knives on the left and right sides of the chicken trunk, so as to separate the chicken breast and the chicken back, and cut the chicken breast and the chicken back into large pieces with a knife. After that, use the knife to aim at the joint connecting the thigh and the lower leg of the chicken to cut down, separate the two legs of the chicken, and then do the same, cut the wings into three sections.
3. Prepare mushrooms. Put all the dried mushrooms in a filter basket, wash them with cold water, remove the floating ash on the surface, then put them in a large bowl, add warm water, soak for 30 minutes, and take out the filtered water. Don't pour the mushroom water, put it there for use.
4. It's fried chicken. The whole dish relies on the flavor of mushrooms and chicken itself. There are not many spices, only red pepper, star anise, ginger and shallot. Before frying the chicken, cut the ginger into slices (less than 1 / 3 of the size in the picture), and chop the shallot.
5. Take a large wok (because there are bones in the chicken, do not use teflon coated non stick wok to avoid scratching the surface). Preheat for two minutes and then add some vegetable oil, so that the whole bottom of the wok can be covered with a thin layer.
6. Put the cut chicken into the pot, then stir fry until most of the surface of the chicken changes color.
7. Add sliced ginger, shallot, star anise and red pepper. Stir well.
8. Add 50ml old soy sauce. Compared with the raw soy sauce, the color of the old soy sauce is darker, sweeter and less salty. It's suitable for this kind of stew. Put in dried mushrooms and stir fry until mushrooms and chicken mix well.
9. Add mushroom water to allow the water to submerge 2 / 3 of the height of the chicken. Bring the liquid in the pot to boil, cover the lid of the pot, reduce the fire power of the stove to medium level, stew for 30 minutes, then put it on the plate and eat it. In the process of stewing, you can open the lid of the pot and turn the chicken to make them evenly colored and tasty.
