Want to easily create an authentic Baitugang flavor dish at home?Today, I will share a simple but delicious vinegar stewed chicken recipe, so that you can also feel the unique sweetness and sour aroma at home.
First of all, we need to prepare the following ingredients: one is about 15 kg of fresh chicken, 150 ml of high-quality rice vinegar, 30 grams of ginger, 50 grams of green onions, appropriate amount of garlic, chili, star anise and Sichuan pepper. When choosing chicken, try to choose one with firm meat and bright color. In this way, the cooked chicken will have a more delicious taste.
Next is to process the chicken. Once the chicken is cleaned, cut into cubes. Remember to chop the pieces as much as possible in size, so that they are heated evenly during the cooking process and taste better. Next, we need to blanch the chicken pieces in boiling water to remove blood and impurities, and make the meat firmer.
After blanching, the chicken pieces should be quickly rinsed with cold water to maintain the elasticity of the meat. Then, prepare a pot, pour in the appropriate amount of cooking oil, and sauté the chopped ginger, garlic and chili peppers in the pan until fragrant. This step is crucial to bring out the aromas of the ingredients and lay the foundation for the next step in cooking.
When the aroma wafts out of the pan, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until the surface is slightly browned. At this time, pour the rice vinegar prepared earlier into the pot and stir-fry evenly, so that each piece of chicken can be stained with the aroma of vinegar. Then, add an appropriate amount of water, the amount of water is about less than the chicken, then add star anise and Sichuan peppercorns, cover the pot, turn to low heat and simmer.
As the simmer slowly cooks, the sourness of the vinegar and the deliciousness of the chicken slowly merge, and the soup gradually thickens. This process takes about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, open the lid and turn to high heat to reduce the juice, at this time, add the right amount of salt and sugar to taste according to personal taste.
Finally, when the soup is thick and sprinkled with chopped green onions, a dish of red, sweet and sour vinegar stewed chicken is done. Not only is the color of this dish attractive and the chicken tender, but the sourness of the vinegar is perfectly combined with the umami aroma of the chicken, bringing a unique taste enjoyment.
This stewed chicken with white soil gang vinegar is very suitable for both the usual home-cooked dish and the signature dish of a gathering of friends. Simple steps, combined with common ingredients at home, can be easily done. Try it and maybe you can cook an amazing meal at home.
