Hello everyone
Many fans have asked about the seasoning of hotpot chicken
They don't know how to use it
So today, I will open a pack and cook with it
This chicken is raised by my uncle
It’s not so big though
It's still so small, although we bought and raised it since the last winter solstice
It eats a lot but never grows so I cook it today
This bag is seasoning base
There’s beef tallow inside
Cooked with chilis
This is a bag of pickled chili
There is ginger and pickled chili inside, it’s not very spicy
Pour out this first
It’s only two or three jin (1 or 1.5kg) even it’s several months old
It refused to grow
What does it usually eat
We feed it with leftovers and bran
It will be cooked too if it grew so fat
Same situation if it’s too skinny
I don't care if it’s skinny or not. I can gnaw the bones
Alright let’s do it
Cut it open if you like a stronger taste
If you don’t, just put it in
We don’t need the water inside
It's still salty even if chopped?
Yes, it’s more aromatic when chopped
Qi Erwa made this knife so blunt
She didn’t even sharpen it for a bit
She likes using the ready-made stuff
Ok, let’s butcher it
It takes at least half an hour if Qi Erwa butchered it
Why is that
Because she is slow
She won’t finish half in this time
Couldn’t be like this
Could be, I'm afraid
She acts slow and is afraid of being hurt
Alright, just feed it to the dog
Here's a head for you. Be a good boy!
You should eat another one after you finish one first
Oh don’t be so greedy
Eat slowly
We cook it with this bamboo shoot
We cut it in the middle
Let the water inside flow out
Just cut it evenly
OK
Alright, let’s do it
Do we need to blanch it
Sure
Ok we turn it to low heat for half an hour
Then put it in 5 mins before finish
We can eat it when well-braised
No need for extra seasoning, just water is enough
Ok now we put it in and braise for a while
About 5 minutes
Good, now it’s ready
Try this hotpot chicken I made
Aya, hotpot chicken
With pickled chili flavor
This is actually pickled chili hotpot chicken
I didn’t add the dried chili pepper into it
Is it braised with bamboo shoot?
Yeah
I thought you prepared bitter gourd first
Let me take some and see whether it’s tender or not
The meat is so tender
And very crunchy
Hmm very nice
How’s the taste?
Good, good
See? The dog is licking its mouth now
Be patient, wait after we finish
We can give it the bones
I’ll eat the one with more meat
Take this one
Yeah got it got it
It’s a tender one
Nice
Speaking of this hotpot chicken
Any breed of chicken is ok
Ducks are fine
Geese are good too
We can braise them well
Same with rabbit meat
I’ll bring you more bags of seasoning next time
Whenever you want, just open it
And just cook with it
But remember, don’t add salt
No salt? The seasoning already contains salt
All the seasonings are already well prepared in it.
Including spiciness
We only need to add water
Now cooking can be as lazy as...
as the "Lazy Man's Pork Ribs" made my Qi Erwa
Using ready-made only
No seasoning at all
Just put it in and get everything
Aunt, have some chicken? It's tender enough for you
Yes, I already had it
Nowadays, people are living such nice life
All seasonings are ready-made and convenient
They just open the bag and pour it in the wok
cook it and then they can eat
We still have to prepare everything in our village
Like everything
The point is, you can't get many of the ingredients
Hmm
Alright, this episode is about it
Those who have bought it could try this way
You guys had a lot of questions before
Like should we add this seasoning or not
Basically we don’t need to add anything except water
But we should bring out the aroma of the chicken at first
And bring out the color and flavor of the pickled chili
And then cook that
hotpot seasoning till it melts
Then we just need to add water and heat up
With nothing extra
Remember guys
