Braised Chicken and Rice. This rice was also very particular and could be considered the highlight of this dish. Without a good bowl of rice, how could the taste of the braised chicken be brought out?
Originally, Meg thought that the system would continue to provide rice irrigated by the Water of Life to cook, but he rejected it on the grounds that the production was insufficient. Instead, the system provided a type of rice called 'Moonlight Rice'.
It was said that the system planted a new type of rice on Moonlight Island in the Staro Sea. There were many wetlands on the island, so the production was good. Moreover, because of the unique moonstone on the island that could absorb moonlight, this type of rice was particularly fragrant and sweet, and its taste was not inferior to the Rice of Life at all.
Mag pulled open the cabinet. The original rice cabinet had been divided into two compartments from the middle. On the left was the crystal clear Rice of Life, which gave off a faint smell of the Spring of Life. On the right was the Moonlight Rice, which was a little darker in color.
Mag's eyes lit up when he reached out to grab a handful of rice grains and brought it to his eyes. The rice grains were also plump and crystal clear, but there was actually a small white crescent. Therefore, the rice grains in the cabinet were darker in color than the ones in the Spring of Life.
"This appearance … System, could it be that you also have the heart of a young girl?" Meg couldn't help but laugh. Growing a moon in the rice … when those girls ate it, their hearts would probably explode, right?
The system didn't answer Meg's question, but in a place that he didn't notice, a line of small words silently floated in his mind.
"Who doesn't have the heart of a young girl …"
Although it didn't have the magical effect of the Rice of Life, this type of rice that was exploding with the heart of a young girl was still quite satisfactory to Meg. Amy would probably like it very much.
The washed rice was placed in the rice cooker to cook. The marinating time of the chicken was about an hour, but this time would be skipped in the test field for the God of Cookery. The shiitake mushrooms were soaked until they were just right to soften, and the water was squeezed out before cutting them into strips.
Therefore, when all the ingredients were ready, Meg's expression became particularly serious as he began to cook.
He turned on the medium heat and poured the oil into the frying pan. A thin layer of oil covered the bottom of the pan. When the oil was slightly warm, he added two spoonfuls of sugar. The color of the sugar was slightly yellow. It was made by the system fusing the Hundred Flower Honey into the white sugar. It had the fragrance of the Hundred Flower Honey and the sweetness of the white sugar.
As for the Hundred Flower Honey, according to the system, it came from the Hundred Flower Valley in The Wind Forest. There wasn't much of it, but he was developing a new Hundred Flower Honey breeding base, so he could still keep up with the supply.
The sugar was heated in the oil and quickly melted. The air was immediately filled with the fragrance of honey flowers. The sweet smell made people salivate.
Mag poured a quarter of the sliced chicken drumstick into the pot before using a wooden spoon to stir-fry the chicken in the pot. He dyed the chicken caramel color evenly, and soon, the aroma of chicken began to waft out of the pot. When the skin of the chicken was slightly browned, he scooped the chicken onto a plate.
After cleaning the frying pan, he poured in the same amount of oil and stir-fried the various spices one by one. After stir-frying for a while, he added cooking wine, old soy sauce, and light soy sauce and continued to stir-fry.
After that, he added the prepared shiitake mushrooms. After stir-frying for a while, the fragrance of the mushrooms gushed out. The originally faint aroma of the chicken seemed to have been enhanced, and a rich aroma filled the air.
"This aroma is simply amazing!" Meg's eyes lit up. Previously, when he heard the system's introduction, he didn't quite understand what it meant when it said that the aroma of the mushrooms had increased by several times. Now, he finally understood. Although the mushrooms were planted on agarwood, they didn't have any agarwood aroma. Instead, the aroma of the mushrooms was enhanced to the extreme. It could even enhance the aroma of other ingredients.
After stir-frying for a while, Meg turned off the heat and poured all the chicken into the large casserole on the stove. If it was filled to the brim, this large casserole could probably cook 16 servings of braised chicken at the same time.
After that, he poured the shiitake mushrooms into the casserole. This shiitake mushroom water was good stuff. The system had already guaranteed that the shiitake mushrooms could be eaten directly. Of course, he couldn't let it go to waste. After adding water to the chicken, he poured the potatoes and lettuce into the casserole and continued to cook.
About 15 minutes after the water boiled, he opened the lid and poured the green and red peppers into the casserole. After that, he turned on the heat and collected the sauce.
The aroma in the air seemed to have become thicker. The aroma of the chicken and shiitake mushrooms mixed together to enhance each other's freshness. Meg's nose was filled with the aroma.
"I'm actually … a little hungry." Meg raised an eyebrow. In the test field for the God of Cookery, he wouldn't feel tired or hungry. However, when he smelled this alluring aroma, his foodie instincts began to deceive his body and stomach.
Meg controlled the time. When the sauce had thickened, he opened the lid and stir-fried it a few times, mixing all the ingredients evenly together. After that, he turned off the heat and scooped out all the braised chicken in two brown casserole bowls.
Golden chicken, dark brown shiitake mushrooms, yellow potato cubes, and green lettuce cubes were drizzled with two spoonfuls of thick red broth. Just like that, a bowl of fragrant braised chicken was born.
"System, how is it? Did I succeed on my first try? " Meg put down the bowl of rice in his hands. The rice grains were clear and sparkling, but the small crescent moon in the middle of the rice seemed to have become whiter and clearer. It was as if the bowl had been filled with a small crescent moon.
"According to the system's requirements in my previous life, they are far from being met.
1. The shape and size of the chicken pieces were too random. Not every piece was the same size.
2. The cooking process was too rigid. The sugar on the surface of the chicken was stir-fried for too long. The taste was a little bitter. The cooking time was too long. The chicken was a little dry.
3. The temperature of the sauce was not controlled well enough. The sauce was too thick. The texture was too sticky. It was a little oily. "The system's voice sounded in a rather strict manner.
"As expected, it's not that simple." Meg nodded thoughtfully. However, he didn't appear too disheartened. He threw the two bowls of braised chicken directly into the kitchen waste bin. As he washed the casserole, he reflected, "That's right. If these problems aren't solved, how can I serve this dish to others?"
Halfway through the washing, he suddenly put down the bowl in his hands and muttered to himself in annoyance, "Why did I have such a cheap mouth back then? If I remember correctly, there were three requirements for braised chicken, right? Who knows when I'll be able to leave this place?! "

Earth's mini theatre:
An old man happily dialed a number while turning on the television. "Hey, Old Li, hurry up and come take a look. That Venomous Tongue Shen's Torture Story is starting again. It wasn't easy to wait until the fourth episode. Hurry up, don't miss it."
"Alright. Look at the previous episode's trailer. This time, he's making my braised chicken again. Let's see how capable this kid is! I'll lock him up in a small dark room for half a year. I won't let him sleep from day to night. I'll make him make my braised chicken every day. If he doesn't meet his own requirements, I won't let him out! "An angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
Almost at the same time, the same scene appeared on thousands of televisions around the world.
"Hello, special broadcast viewers. Welcome to this episode of Venomous Tongue Shen's Torture Story.
"As you can see, Venomous Tongue Shen has been locked up in an airtight kitchen by me. His heart is filled with despair and fear. He wants to leave this place and not be completely obliterated. He only has one chance, and that is to listen to my orders and keep making braised chicken until the braised chicken meets his own requirements. Only then will he have the chance to temporarily leave this kitchen and take a breather.
"Please don't worry. Under my oppressive rule, he doesn't dare to resist in the slightest. He's like a marionette, living a muddle-headed life every day. I believe you'll see this scene.
