制作完成的“雪花鸡淖”
吃鸡的最高境界是什么？是“吃鸡不见鸡”。因制作过程极其复杂，这道川菜几乎失传，在为数不多能找到它的川菜店里，这道菜的售价不菲。
What is the ultimate experience of eating chicken? Eating chicken without seeing it! Due to its intricate cooking process, this Sichuan cuisine has almost been lost. It is now only available in a few Sichuan cuisine restaurants, and it comes with a hefty price tag.
This is “Snowflakes Minced Chicken”, a non-spicy cuisine. Its ingredients are surprisingly simple just tender, meaty chicken breast and fresh eggs. The dish, white as snow, offers a salty and dense taste with a“cloud-like” shape and texture to retain the essence of traditional Sichuan cuisine, demonstrating a distinct style in forms. The“snowflakes” gets its name from its unique appearance - the thin chicken slices floating in the pot are like snowflakes, delivering a unique flavor. In addition, “minced chicken” refers to the chicken slices in the Sichuan dialect. This dish seems to be a blooming snow lotus in Sichuan cuisine culture, radiating purity and elegance.
“雪花鸡淖”的制作需要极高的刀工和火候控制，才能达到似豆花绵润的口感，入口即化，却又留有浓郁的鸡肉鲜香。
During the preparation of Snowflakes Minced Chicken, there are strict requirements of knife work and temperature control for chefs to achieve a smooth and moist taste akin to Douhua, melting immediately in the mouth, but leaving a strong and fresh chicken aroma.
