White chopped chicken is a very famous traditional dish in Guangdong, which is loved by people because of its golden color, crispy skin and tender meat, and delicious taste. Below I will introduce you to the method of white chopped chicken and the tips on how to choose the ingredients.
1. How to do white chopped chicken?
1.Selection.
The first step in making white chopped chicken is the selection of ingredients. When choosing chicken, you should choose a chicken with full meat, bright color, and no peculiar smell, and it is best to choose local chicken or free-range chicken. These chickens have a richer flavor and a more tender texture.
2.Preparation.
In addition to chicken, you also need to prepare some ginger slices, green onions, salt, cooking wine and other seasonings. Sliced ginger and green onions can add flavor to the chicken while removing the fishy smell of the chicken. Salt and cooking wine are used to flavor and enhance the umami flavor of the chicken.
3.Cooked.
After the water is boiled, add the appropriate amount of salt and cooking wine, then add the chicken and cook over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken. During the cooking process, keep the water temperature and heat stable, and avoid boiling the water dry, which will affect the taste and color of the chicken.
4.Soak.
Do not remove the cooked chicken immediately, it should be soaked in the original broth for 10-15 minutes, which will make the chicken more flavorful. At the same time, it can also allow the chicken to absorb more soup and increase the deliciousness of the taste.
5.Cut into cubes and serve on a plate.
Remove the soaked chicken, cut into chunks and place on a plate. It can be drizzled with some chicken broth or sesame oil according to personal taste to add texture and color. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions or coriander and serve.
Second, which kind of chicken to choose for white chopping chicken?
When choosing a chicken breed to make white chopped chicken, it is recommended to choose local chicken or free-range chicken. The chicken meat of these chicken breeds has a strong aroma and tender taste, and at the same time, the meat is full and brightly colored, which meets the characteristics and requirements of white chopped chicken. In contrast, broiler chicken or instant chicken has a lighter taste and the meat quality is not as delicious as local chicken or free-range chicken, so it is not suitable for making white chopped chicken. In addition, different chicken breeds can be selected according to personal tastes and preferences to achieve a balance of taste and nutrition.
