This type of chicken is square in size, with thin skin and crispy bones. Its meat is tender and sweet, and it is a dish that you will never tire of, whether it is used to make poached chicken or chicken with scallion, ginger and soy sauce.
The most crucial step in making delicious scallion, ginger, and soy sauce chicken is marinating.
In addition to scallions and ginger, the two most commonly used seasonings, shallots are also needed.
Red shallots and regular white shallots have different tastes. Red shallots have a spicier aroma and a crisper texture. This unique aroma and texture can add layers to the flavor of food and give chicken a unique flavor.
Yu Yao took a small wooden basin, poured in the soy sauce she had just bought, added Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, and ginger, and put the freshly prepared Wenchang chicken in to soak. While soaking, she massaged the chicken with scallion and ginger slices.
After massaging, add the yellow rock sugar from the food factory and continue massaging. Then let the chicken marinate in the sauce for two hours.
During this time, Yu Yao and Wu Wanying were not idle either; they first prepared the other dishes.
After the chicken has marinated, Yu Yao cleaned the casserole dish, placed it on the stove, heated the pan with cold oil, and then sautéed chopped scallions, ginger, and shallots until fragrant. Finally, she added the marinated chicken.
As soon as the chicken was put into the casserole, you could hear the sizzling sound of the oil hitting the water. Yu Yao quickly turned the chicken over with chopsticks, coating all the skin parts with a layer of oil.
Once the chicken was coated with oil, Yu Yao strained the sauce to remove any residue and poured it into a clay pot, then covered it.
Once the chicken is cooked through, reduce the sauce over high heat.
Lifting the lid reveals a beautiful reddish-brown chicken, and the rich aroma of scallions and soy sauce fills the air, permeating the entire kitchen.
When the chicken with scallions, ginger, and soy sauce was served, it received unanimous praise.
Wu Huaiqing picked up a piece of chicken, extremely satisfied: "Sister, your cooking skills are truly amazing. This is the first time I've ever had such fragrant scallion, ginger, and soy sauce chicken. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and the color is beautiful."
Cui Zhizhou and Wu Wanying were also full of praise, "It is indeed amazing, even more fragrant and tender than what I had before at the state-run restaurant in Guangdong Province."
Lu Ze remained silent, but his actions demonstrated just how delicious it was.
He and Wu Huaiqing didn't even leave the last bit of soup behind. They scooped up a bowl of white rice, poured the soup over it, and ate another bowl of rice.
"I like it, I'll make it again next time."
Wu Wanying and Cui Zhizhou smiled as they watched them eat happily; their house hadn't been this lively in a long time.
The day off passed quickly, and it was time to go back to work.
Last week, twenty canned foods were selected to enter the final round. This week, all of these canned foods have been put into production. It is expected that 1,000 cans of each type will be produced initially, and production will be increased depending on subsequent sales.
With the Chinese New Year just around the corner, supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores that cooperate with Haixing Food Factory will come to pick up New Year's goods, and will also select some new varieties of canned food to take back for trial sales.
This is an opportunity for those who have made it through the first round of the finals.
If you can be noticed by a large department store, you will have the opportunity to sell your products at their counter, and sales will be guaranteed.
On the day of picking up the goods, Factory Director Wang called over all the workers who had passed the finals and asked them to introduce their canned goods to the partner companies that came to pick them up.
Yu Yao made preparations early and arrived at the staff auditorium an hour in advance.
The place was set up like an exhibition hall, displaying various canned goods from the factory. Director Wang brought colleagues from more than twenty partner companies to visit.
The factory workers were incredibly excited when they saw the guests arrive.
"Do you see that man next to Director Wang? He's from the Guangdong Shengli Department Store."
"Shengli Department Store? Is that the Shengli Department Store, the largest department store in Guangdong Province?"
“That’s right. If we can be selected by their store, we won’t have to worry about the sales of our canned goods. We might even have a chance to win the title of Advanced Collective this year.”
One day, Yu Yao heard the words "Victory Department Store" and glanced at them curiously.
This person looks familiar, like I've seen them somewhere before?
I remember now, isn't this the middle-aged man who was with Wang Chuntao and Zhao E yesterday?
