Chapter 114 French Fries and Chicken Wings More Suitable for Interstellar Babies
Wei'er and I finally arrived at our newly booked hotel, filled with anticipation. This time, I had plenty of time to fully appreciate the Capital Star Hotel. From the outside, it looked like a futuristic building, brimming with technology. When I walked into the lobby, I was struck by its futuristic atmosphere. The entire lobby felt like a scene from a sci-fi movie, transporting me to another world.
We walked to the front desk to check in, and were surprised to find that the staff were robots! They were dressed in uniforms and moved with grace and efficiency. One of them greeted me with a sweet voice and quickly took care of all my paperwork. I couldn't help but marvel at how convenient the service was.
After receiving our room cards, we took the elevator to our room. The door opened automatically, revealing a simple yet comfortable room. A large screen on the wall displayed various information, such as the weather forecast and news, and even changed colors to suit my mood, creating a different atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised by the design!
Wei'er and I excitedly explored every corner of the room, curiously fiddling with various high-tech devices, full of anticipation for this futuristic world. Just then, the doorbell rang, its crisp sound echoing in the air. We glanced at each other, a hint of surprise on our faces.
"Who could it be?" Wei'er asked softly.
I shrugged, indicating I didn't know. Confused, I walked to the door and gently pressed the button. The door slowly swung open, and a small, delicate robot appeared. Its body glowed blue, and the words "Dinner Service" were clearly displayed on its screen.
That's it! It dawned on us that we'd lost track of time and hadn't even had dinner yet. Our stomachs started growling as we looked at the sumptuous meal the robot had brought us.
"Please bring the food into the room." I said to the robot with a smile.
The robot nodded, then pushed a cart filled with food into the room. A moment later, the cart was filled with a variety of exquisite delicacies, emitting an enticing aroma.
We eagerly sat down to savor these delicious dishes. As we savored them, we enthusiastically discussed our upcoming itinerary. We planned to visit a local museum tomorrow to learn more about the technology and culture of this era.
After dinner, we decided to go to the top floor of the hotel to enjoy the beautiful night view. It is said that there is an observation deck there that overlooks the magnificent view of the entire city.
We took the elevator to the top floor and were immediately struck by the sight as we stepped out. The dazzling lights intertwined to create a vibrant and colorful painting, a truly breathtaking sight. The skyscrapers in the distance shimmered with vibrant colors, complementing the starry sky. It felt like we were in a dreamlike wonderland.
Wei Er leaned gently on my shoulder, and we quietly admired all this and felt each other's warmth. The breeze brushed across my cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness and making people feel refreshed.
"It's so beautiful..." Wei'er exclaimed.
I nodded, my heart filled with emotion. In this bustling city, we found our own quiet corner and enjoyed a good time.
After enjoying the beautiful night view, Wei'er set off on her journey home, feeling satisfied. Her home was in the bustling imperial capital, a warm haven for her. Her parents and sister Pei'er all lived and worked there, and Wei'er, whose grandparents had once worked and lived on Ceres, chose to return to Ceres for a short stay every year during the holidays.
After Wei'er left, I returned to my room and washed off the day's fatigue. Then, I began planning tomorrow's itinerary. Now that I'd been discharged from the hospital, I decided to get up early tomorrow morning and head to the market to buy fresh ingredients. Then, I'd use the hotel kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for my little ones. The thought brought a happy smile to my face, and I looked forward to expressing my love and care for my little ones through delicious food.
The next morning, I went to the market to buy some groceries. After a quick stroll, I decided to buy some chicken wings, potatoes, and tomatoes to make fried chicken wings and French fries, my children's favorite. After buying the groceries, I returned to the hotel with the ingredients and began preparing.
First, prepare the chicken wings. Clean fresh chicken wings and score them on both sides. This will allow the wings to better absorb the seasoning during marinating and enhance the flavor. Next, place the chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic in a bowl and add appropriate amounts of salt, black pepper, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, cooking wine, and other seasonings. Stir well before pouring the mixture into the chicken wings. Use your hands to mix the seasoning and chicken wings thoroughly, then marinate for a period of time (usually half an hour to an hour).
After the chicken wings are marinated, it's time to make the tomato sauce. First, prepare the ingredients, including fresh tomatoes, a suitable amount of rock sugar, a dash of lemon juice, and a small amount of salt. These ingredients will create a delicious tomato sauce.
Next, prepare the tomatoes. Wash them thoroughly, then use a knife to gently cut a small slit in the top and then make a cross on the bottom. Next, blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for about a minute, then quickly remove and peel them. This will help the tomatoes cook more easily and have a better texture.
Now comes the crucial cooking stage. Mash the peeled tomatoes and add them to the pot, along with an appropriate amount of rock sugar and a little lemon juice. Then, simmer over low heat for at least 40 minutes. Stir constantly during this process to prevent the bottom from getting burnt. Over time, the soup will gradually thicken and deepen in color. When the soup reaches the desired consistency, add an appropriate amount of salt and mix thoroughly. Finally, store the cooked tomato sauce in a clean bottle. This homemade tomato sauce is not only healthy and additive-free, but also rich in flavor, adding a unique flavor to a variety of dishes. Whether used for fried chicken wings or paired with other delicacies, it will provide a wonderful taste experience.
Now that the ketchup is ready, it's time to fry the fries! First, let's carefully select the right potatoes. We recommend using yellow-heart potatoes, as they have a soft, chewy texture, making the fries not only taste better but also look more appealing! Of course, don't forget to prepare delicious seasonings like olive oil and salt; they'll add a unique flavor to the fries.
While the tomato sauce is simmering, it's time to prepare the potatoes. First, we need to prepare some fresh potatoes. Here's a little tip: choose yellow-heart potatoes, as they have a softer texture and make for better-looking fried French fries. Of course, if you don't have yellow-heart potatoes, other varieties will work too! We'll also need some seasonings like olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Next, let's start cutting the potatoes! First, wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into slices about 1 cm thick. Next, cut the slices into 1 cm wide strips. Rinse the cut potato strips several times with clean water to remove the starch on the surface, making the fries crispier.
Next, we'll cook the potato strips. Bring water to a boil in a pot and add the cut potato strips. Cook for about one to two minutes, until the strips become translucent. Remove from the heat and rinse with cold water to maintain their crispness. Finally, drain the strips and set aside.
Now, we're going to coat the potato strips. Drain the dried potatoes and add an appropriate amount of cornstarch. Mix well, coating each strip. Then, seal the strips in a plastic bag and freeze them in the freezer for three to four hours. This will help the strips cook more easily and improve their texture.
When the oil reaches about 50% to 60% heat, I carefully place the frozen potato strips into the pot. The oil splashes and sizzles, as if dancing with joy. I gently stir with a slotted spoon to ensure each fry is evenly cooked.
As time went by, the fries gradually became golden and crispy, emitting an enticing aroma. I couldn't wait to taste them, but I resisted the urge and continued to focus on cooking. Finally, the fries were done! I quickly scooped them out with a slotted spoon to drain off the excess fat.
The fries were golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious crunch. They exuded a rich potato aroma that was irresistible. I couldn't resist picking one up and biting into it. It made a crisp sound and tasted amazing!
After the fries are done, it's time to fry the chicken wings! There are many options for frying chicken wings. You can use flour, cornstarch, or even a special fried chicken coating. If you're using flour and cornstarch, remember to mix them in a 1:1 ratio.
Next, prepare the chicken wings. First, coat the marinated wings in fried dough, then dip them in egg, and finally coat them in fried dough again. Gently shake off any excess flour to ensure the wings are clean and crisp.
Pour plenty of oil into the pan and heat until it reaches about 160-180 degrees Celsius (around - degrees Celsius). Then, add the chicken wings. Remember to fry them slowly over medium-low heat, or they'll burn easily. Flip them occasionally while frying to prevent the bottom wings from burning.
When the chicken wings turn golden brown and smell crispy, you can take them out. But it's not over yet. Wait until the oil temperature rises a little and put the chicken wings in to fry again. This will make the chicken wings more crispy and taste better.
