A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

"Can gardenias be dyed?"

Zhao Jinmai was a little surprised: "I only know that song by Teacher He..."

Before she finished speaking, Wu Lei sang at the side: "Gardenias are blooming! Gardenias are blooming!"

Everyone: "..."

Seeing this, Wu Lei shrank his neck: "I was wrong."

Speechlessly glanced at him, Li Yicai explained with a smile: "Gardenia is a natural dye, many places use gardenia to dye food and make all kinds of beautiful food.

For example, there are colorful hand-picked rice in Yunnan Province, and the water boiled with gardenia is used to cook the rice. The cooked rice is golden yellow and looks very good.

It can also be used to dye tofu. You need to use it to dye tofu.

In some places, gardenia flowers are also used to color the stewed vegetables. The chicken wings and feet will be yellow and bright in color, which looks very appetizing.

Including white-cut chicken in some places in Guangdong Province, gardenias are also used to add some color. "

After hearing Li Yi's explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room also started discussing in the barrage.

"Learn it, I'll buy some stewed rice and try it later."

"People from Yun Province explain that that kind of colorful hand-picked rice is to deceive tourists from other places, and we locals don't eat it at all."

"Why did this Li Yi tell me my secret recipe? When I was learning how to make boiled chicken, the master taught me the secret recipe, which is to add two yellow gardenias to the soup."

"Okay! No wonder I make white-cut chicken at home, but it's not as yellow as in restaurants outside. I thought the three-yellow chicken I bought was fake. It turned out that it was because of the yellow gardenia!"

"Eh? When I was a child, there was a kind of flower growing near my home. I could use its petals to paint my nails. Is that the gardenia?"

"Is the upstairs also made in Yu Province? I dyed it too! Wrap it in its leaves. My sister dyed it for me."

"I'm from Huizhou! I've dyed it too! Ours is called henna. When I was a child, I dyed all ten fingers orange. I still think it's beautiful! Haha!"

Zhao Jinmai saw the audience's barrage, and said weakly: "Actually, I dyed it when I was a child. It was given to me by my neighbor's sister. She also said it was called henna, but it's not this kind of dried gardenia. flower."

"That's right."

Li Yi smiled and said: "You should use impatiens, not gardenias.

Impatiens are dyed with fresh petals picked, and gardenias are dyed with water boiled from gardenia fruit, which is different. "

"That's right, it's dyed with petals."

Zhao Jinmai nodded repeatedly.

While speaking, the konjac flour in the pot had become viscous again, and it was a bit laborious for Sui to stir it with a spoon.

Seeing this, Li Yi went to the storage room, found a stainless steel bucket, put a layer of soybean oil in it, and then poured the konjac flour slurry into it for Sui Bian.

Next, just wait for it to cool down and solidify naturally, and the konjac flour is ready.

On the other side, Liu Yifei also peeled the bamboo shoots and brought them to Li Yi: "Is this okay?"

She peeled it very carefully, and every bamboo shoot was intact, and the tips of the bamboo shoots were not broken.

"Yes, very good, thanks for your hard work."

Li Yi took it and said hard work with a smile.

Liu Yifei smiled happily, and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Not for now."

Li Yi looked at the materials that had been prepared in a hurry: "It's up to me to do it next."

After speaking, he came to the sink, washed his hands carefully, and then walked back to the operating table.

He didn't act in a hurry, but just stood there, looking over the ingredients on the table one by one.

But in his mind, these ingredients have all been floating in the void, and then cut by an invisible knife, turning into ingredients of different shapes, lengths, and thicknesses.

A thick fresh lotus root floated up.

Swish!

A few knife lights flickered, and the fresh lotus root was hollowed out, and around the outside, lotus root sticks flew up one by one, leaving only a lifelike chicken cavity skeleton.

Then, a slender fresh lotus root floated up, and with the flash of the knife, a complete chicken skull appeared above the skeleton of the chicken cavity.

The beak, the head, the sunken eye sockets, and the chicken neck bones at the back are all carved vividly.

In the void, the chicken neck bone floated towards the chicken cavity skeleton.

At the end of the chicken neck bone, there is a horizontal protrusion, which can perfectly coincide with the depression at the front end of the chicken cavity skeleton.

Click!

With a muffled sound, the chicken skull and the chicken cavity skeleton are perfectly connected.

Perfect, that's all.

Li Yi nodded slightly, thinking again.

Click!

A radish was cut in half, and with a flash of the knife, two lifelike chicken leg bones appeared.

Next, five peeled fresh bamboo shoots appeared, which were cut from the top third, and the tips of the bamboo shoots converged to the thicker part of the rear end of one of the bamboo shoots.

Immediately, a chicken claw bone appeared in the void.

Li Yi turned his eyes, and a cut lotus root came to him, and was quickly cut into a shape with two sides concave.

That's the joint where the chicken thigh bones join.

Then, the joints below the chicken leg bones and the joints above the chicken feet were inserted into the depressions of the lotus root joints at the same time, and the joints were seamless and successful.

According to the law, the other five bamboo shoots also gathered into another chicken foot, which was stuck behind the chicken cavity skeleton together with the chicken leg bone.

Before he could stop thinking, a few bamboo shoots floated up again, split and joined, and turned into two chicken wing skeletons made of bamboo shoots, which were inserted on both sides of the chicken body.

In an instant, a complete chicken skeleton appeared in the void.

The next moment, the chicken skeleton made of lotus root, radish and bamboo shoots came alive.

Snapped! Snapped!

The chicken feet made of bamboo shoots stepped on the void, took two steps, and scratched the ground twice.

Then, it raised the chicken wing bone, which was also made of bamboo shoots, and shook it in the air, as if it was flapping its wings.

"Clack!"

It opened its beak carved from lotus root, croaked twice, then lowered its head and pecked at its feet, vividly.

The first step can be completed here.

Li Yi nodded secretly, and changed his mind.

Next, it's time for the musculature.

As soon as his thought moved, a piece of gluten floated up in the void.

With a burst of extrusion, it was cut into countless strips, thin slices, cones and other shapes of various shapes.

In the next moment, strands of gluten floated up and attached to the chicken skeleton, like muscles wrapped around the bones.

The cone-shaped gluten passes through the bone of the chicken leg and is tightly wrapped around the top, forming a big and strong chicken leg.

Next is fat, Li Yi looked at Nan Tofu.

The piece of fresh and tender southern tofu floated up, and the skin was peeled around and at the upper and lower ends, and the tenderest part in the center was pulled out.

Still flashing with the knife, the tender tofu was cut into countless thin slices, which were automatically attached to the chicken.

The abdomen, buttocks, chicken wings, and the yellowish and tender tofu seem to be the fat of the chicken, trembling, wrapping the abdominal cavity of the chicken.

Next, the chicken skin.

Li Yi glanced at the konjac bucket that was cooling in the refrigerator.

A whole piece of konjac flew up from the barrel and came to Li Yi.

Then, a fine knife flashed, and the konjac was quickly carved into the shape of a chicken.

There was another burst of knife light, and the inside of the konjac chicken was hollowed out, leaving only a complete chicken skin.

"Clack!"

The vegetarian chicken walked up to the konjac chicken skin, put its head into the chicken's buttocks, and then the whole chicken got into it.

It's like putting on a chicken skin coat, and the whole chicken has a new look.

"Clack!"

It shook its wings happily and raised its head to cry.

The last step, coloring.

Li Yi turned his gaze and looked at the gardenia fruit.

A few gardenia fruits flew into the pot and quickly boiled into a pot of dark yellow soup.

"Clack!"

The chicken leaped into the pot.

Crash!

With a splash of water, it jumped out of the pot and landed on the table.

The original white chicken skin has been dyed golden yellow. This chicken seems to have really turned into a three-yellow chicken that has just been cooked, with its head held high!
