Braised chicken with soy sauce is a traditional dish in Shanghai. It belongs to Shanghai cuisine. Plain chicken is a kind of bean products. But it is more chewy and more tenacious than ordinary tofu. Influenced by the little monster Grandpa, I've always been open to all bean products since I was a child. This dish is the first time I have eaten it since I came to Shanghai. I fell in love with it immediately. It's also the first time I've tried to cook it for myself today. It tastes good.
Step1:Clean the plain chicken with water and cut into 6 mm thin slices. Drain the water for us
Step2:Clean ginger and shallot, slice ginger and slice shallot for standby
Step3:Heat up the frying pan. Pour in cooking oil (the plain chicken absorbs more oil. It is recommended to pour more oil). Put the plain chicken into the frying pan one by one with chopsticks. Stir over medium heat and fry slowly on both sides
Step4:Pan fry until both sides of the plain chicken are golden yellow and hard, and then serve
Step5:Stir fry the remaining oil in the wok with ginger slice
Step6:Then pour in the fried chicken. Stir fry and pour in the soy sauce and water (a little more water, about the amount of the chicken. In this way, the chicken can fully absorb the water. The taste will be softer). Put in the sugar, heat it up in a large heat, and then turn the heat to simmer for about 10 minutes
Step7:Take in the dry soup. Sprinkle in the scallion. Turn off the heat and you will be out of the pot.
Cooking tips:The cooking process of braised chicken is not complicated. The key point is to fry the chicken. If it's a common frying pan, the oil temperature must be hot enough to put the chicken. Otherwise, it's easy to stick to the pan; if it's a non stick pan or a pan used at home, it doesn't matter. Vegetarian chicken has a little smell when it is born. It likes to eat something with heavier taste. In the fifth step of operation, it can also put anise, cinnamon, pepper and other spices. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
