Chapter 225 The joy of frying
Of course fried chicken is not enough.
Potatoes are produced in the mountainous areas of your province and taste extremely good.
Nanzhi asked the children to cut the potatoes into thin strips and crescent shapes, and fry them into French fries and potato wedges respectively.
When everything is ready, it’s finally the most critical moment of frying!
Fu Chao and Xie Yu carried out the iron pot with the largest diameter in the canteen.
This iron pot is big enough for a child to squat in, and the children made a wow sound on the spot.
Under the gaze of a pair of eyes, Fu Chao and Xie Yu’s two assistants were responsible for pouring two full buckets of peanut oil into the oil pan.
Peanut oil is full of flavor and has a high smoke point, making it the best choice for frying.
Then ignite and wait for the oil temperature to rise.
Fried food is undoubtedly one of the most flavorful ways to cook food, but it is also a method that many people reject outside the home kitchen.
First of all, the cost is high, such as the fried chicken prepared by Nanzhi and the others today. Without the sponsorship of the program team, she would never have let the school spend the money.
Secondly, it is easy to be greasy. After all, in the eyes of many people, fried food is junk food, and its high-calorie fat makes many people stay away.
The fact is that fried chicken is indeed very high in calories, but as long as it is cooked properly, the oil will not penetrate into the tight muscles of the chicken legs after frying. Instead, the water in the chicken will be forced out, and the flavor will change. be stimulated.
The chicken skin at this time will achieve a golden crispy effect.
While waiting for the oil temperature to rise, Nanzhi did not sit idle, but gave everyone a lot of knowledge about frying.
For example, she mentioned that when it comes to fried food, the outer layer is often fried and the inner layer is steamed. This is caused by the collision between the existing steam and the fat trying to penetrate, resulting in a Unstable equilibrium.
...These theories make children listen with gusto.
Even the audience in the live broadcast room started to play tricks in the barrage:
[Learned! To put it simply, fried chicken is equal to steamed chicken, which means there are no calories! 】
[Teacher Nan said it well! I'm going to buy fried chicken after get off work today! 】
【You are really clever little guys! 】
【However, what Nanzhi said is indeed very interesting, and it made me have a strong interest in cooking again! 】
[My mother too, she was watching the live broadcast with me, but now she is in the kitchen preparing fried chicken, and asked me to put my phone in the kitchen, she wants to synchronize the operation with Teacher Nan...]< br>
【My dad too! Now our whole family is joining the battle hahaha! 】
...
Countless families connected by the Internet are performing similar operations.
The cooking class that was broadcast live the day before yesterday was not publicized in advance, so not many people knew about it.
But today’s cooking class is something that everyone is looking forward to. Many people stay here specifically for the class.
So, Nanzhi’s classroom has already spread from more than 50 students in Cuishui Village Primary School to the entire Internet.
In the blink of an eye, the entry #南志 fried鸡小客服# has become the top trending search item.
Nanzhi was completely unaware of this.
She adhered to the principle of class. Although she did not let the children operate the whole process, she still did not forget to follow the steps in her hands and explain them in detail -
"We should try to use big pots. The amount of oil only needs to be added to 1/3, because when frying, a lot of bubbles will appear, and the oil in the pot will increase twice as much, so if the pot is too small, the oil will overflow, which is even worse. It will burn directly.”
“We can judge the oil temperature based on our eyes, which is usually between 180 degrees and 190 degrees, which is almost the state we see in the pot now. Of course, it is more intuitive. You can use a thermometer. Also, please don’t leave the stove while frying. This can be very dangerous.”
"If the oil starts to smoke, it means the temperature is too high. At this time, you can add a small amount of oil and let it cool down. If you see the oil burning, don't panic. Cover the pot, turn off the heat, and wait for it to cool down on its own."< br>
"As long as you are careful, I believe cooking is not a difficult task."
"..."
The children nodded repeatedly and were very serious.
In the barrage:
[Nan Zhi’s explanation is really detailed. If I had such a teacher, I would definitely become a master of cooking! 】【Hey, wake up upstairs, why are you suddenly dreaming in broad daylight? 】
【It turns out you can’t pour too much oil! Suddenly I understood how I failed in the fried chicken last time. 】
【Report to Teacher Nan! How to tell if chicken is done? 】
【I followed Nanzhi’s instructions throughout the process. Since I can’t eat it on the spot, it’s good to have a substitute behind the screen! 】
[It turns out someone has the same idea as me hahaha! 】
……
Seeing that the oil was almost hot, Nanzhi began to put in the fried chicken one after another.
While she was stirring the fried chicken in the oil pan with a whisk to ensure that it was heated evenly, she was having a back-and-forth conversation with the children, interpreting their little whims.
Those who really understand cooking will know how amazing Nanzhi's current state is.
She easily grasped the oil temperature without the help of any external instruments, relying only on her eyes.
Take your time, don't panic.
The confidence and determination to control all the small stoves in her heart gave her a different kind of elegance.
It is born out of a skin, and the whole soul is glowing faintly!
Moreover, everyone found that Nanzhi was very knowledgeable in cooking.
It seemed like no problem could stump her.
And her answer is not as simple as simply giving an answer.
She will also use in-depth and simple words to tell everyone why this answer is.
Children: I learned, I learned!
Netizens: I learned it, I learned it!
In the bright golden oil pan, the chicken legs wrapped in flour are gradually changing color.
The aroma inspired by high-temperature grease is constantly wafting in the air.
Not only the small canteen, but also the playground outside is filled with a strong fragrance!
The children’s eyes are bright!
After all, in the mountains, everyone saves money and eats meat. How can they be so luxurious and use so much oil to fry things?
It just so happens that they are in the growth period at this age, which is when their demand for calories and fat is high.
No wonder their eyes looked at the frying pan more eagerly than when they looked at the spring cakes yesterday.
Of course spring cakes are good.
But this golden and crispy fried chicken looks so delicious!
Some children couldn’t help but ask:
"Teacher Nan, how long will it take to blow it up?"
Nanzhi felt their impatience and smiled:
"Soon."
She moved neatly Remove the fried chicken from the pot and place it in the large steel basin that was prepared earlier.
Countless pairs of eyes came quietly.
Nanzhi seemed to be aware of it and reminded aloud:
“Don’t worry.”
One of the secrets of fried chicken is to raise the oil temperature and fry it again after frying it once. twice.
This way the crust will be crispier.
