Erina was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to understand something and replied, "Looking at the name, it should be like the Rising Dragon Dumplings before, so I'll have one cage for now."
"OK, then please wait."
After speaking, Sosuke turned and went back to the cooking station.
However, when he was about to take out the ingredients, he realized there was no rapeseed, and he couldn't help but cover his forehead.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Erina's heart skipped a beat.
"I'm sorry to tell you, there's no more rapeseed. This Golden Ratio Shao Mai requires four ingredients, and it won't work with one less, so I can't make it tonight!"
"None left?"
Erina's mood sank again.
"Don't be discouraged, I can make another dish: Beautiful Egg Chicken."
Sosuke said with a half-smile when he saw Erina's expression.
"Beautiful Egg Chicken?"
"How…how does it taste?"
"Don't worry, it will definitely satisfy you!"
Sosuke patted his chest and vowed to her.
"Hmm, then I'll have one, no, two servings of Beautiful Egg Chicken, one for me and one for Hisako!"
Finally, upon learning that there was no Golden Ratio Shao Mai and only Beautiful Egg Chicken, Erina still did not refuse, and followed Sosuke's suggestion to order Beautiful Egg Chicken.
And this time, she even specially ordered an extra portion for Hisako.
Beautiful Egg Chicken is a famous Huaiyang dish, with chicken and eggs as the main ingredients.
After all ingredients are prepared, first cut the ham into diced breast, wash the meat, steam it, then cut it into cubes, and peel and dice the winter bamboo shoots.
Slit the chicken's back and remove the internal organs.
Then remove the gallbladder from the chicken belly, open the chicken cavity, peel off the inner skin, wash and set aside.
Place the processed chicken liver and other internal organs into a clay pot with a bamboo mat at the bottom, and pour in some clear water.
The amount of clear water should roughly be enough to submerge the chicken.
Add scallion knots, ginger slices, and Shaoxing wine, bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off the foam, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat until tender and soft. Remove the gizzards and liver and dice them.
Next, spread the eggs into egg wrappers, coat the shrimp with starch to make shrimp paste, and finally wrap the shrimp paste with the egg wrappers.
Then sprinkle diced ham and chopped coriander on top, steam in a steamer until cooked, then remove.
Then arrange the egg Shao Mai around the chicken, and also place some blanched greens on the side of the plate. Add a little salt to the chicken broth from the original clay pot, bring to a boil, and pour it over the chicken.
Thus, the Beautiful Egg Chicken is complete!
Observing the hen in the dish closely, after being simmered over low heat, it had reached a tender, fall-off-the-bone state without losing its shape.
When plated under the light, it appeared plump and lustrous.
Egg Shao Mai were arranged around it, like plum blossoms, making the entire dish even more visually appealing.
It's no exaggeration to say that the colors of the entire dish complemented each other.
"It's actually egg Shao Mai wrapped around the chicken, then steamed until incredibly tender with wine?"
Erina looked and was a little surprised.
However, she still picked up her chopsticks and took a bite.
She only felt a rich egg aroma, tender and delicious. Without needing to chew carefully, she could feel the egg Shao Mai sliding smoothly in her mouth, and even after swallowing, it left an unforgettable impression.
Then, paired with the rich chicken, the texture was even more exquisite, transforming into a satisfying experience that chewing with teeth could bring!
"So that's it."
"The chicken is incredibly tender; eating large pieces is satisfying!"
"At the same time, coupled with the smooth tenderness of the egg, the taste is fresh and slightly sweet, yet not too overpowering."
"Even the elasticity of the shrimp can achieve a calm and balanced taste experience."
"Although the ingredients used are still very simple, the overall taste is harmonious, with no discomfort in seasoning or texture, full of coordination!"
"I believe such a dish is something no Izakaya, no chef, could ever create."
Finally, Erina, still wanting more, couldn't help but get excited.
"This dish,"
"It has similarities to the Oyakodon from before; the main ingredients are both eggs and chicken!"
