冬菇鸡脚面 Braised Mushroom & Chicken Feet Noodles

今年一月时准备了很多面食来参加一月份的小拇指活动，可是因为时间的关系，没能呈上所有的食谱，这冬菇鸡脚面便是其中一样。相信冬菇鸡脚是很多人的最爱，不过如果在外面吃鸡脚的话又有点尴尬，尤其是未斩件鸡脚，所以我喜欢自己在家里煮，可以吃的比较自在。
冬菇鸡脚蛮容易准备，我提早将冬菇鸡脚焖好，晚餐时烫些青菜和云吞面就可以吃了。


往年的最后一个帖子都是以甜品或饮料作结尾，不过今年就比较忙，没能抽空准备，只好从旧的作品中挑一个作为结尾的帖子。很快2015年就要结束了，多谢大家在这一年对爱心厨房的支持！很期盼明年的到来，希望可以抽出更多时间，分享更多的食谱给大家。在这里祝大家在新的一年里过得顺顺利利，开开心心。

Happy New Year! 

Wishing you all a new year filled with Peace, Joy, 

Health and Prosperity!

腌青辣椒 Pickled Green Chillies

每次新年前爸爸和妈妈都会准备一些沾酱，一般都是准备姜蒜辣椒酱和腌青辣椒。向来我都很爱吃腌青辣椒，尤其是吃云吞面时，最喜欢加多些来伴着吃。不过现在的熟食档口都是将腌青辣椒放在酱碟里，随食物一起送上，想要添加多一些都很难。前些日子准备了一些面食都是要伴着腌青辣椒一起吃的，虽然超市里也有售卖腌青辣椒，不过总是觉得自己做的会吃得比较安心，也可以乘此机会将父母的食谱给学起来。打个电话向妈妈问了做法，买好材料就开始腌青辣椒了，自家的腌青辣椒想吃几多都没问题，绝对没有人会限制！

以前面档的青辣椒都是用豆酱的罐子装着的，
刚好家里有一个，所以我就用同一款罐子来装。

腌青辣椒

材料：
青辣椒 200克
指天椒 3条
盐 1汤匙
糖 1/4杯
白米醋 1/2杯
滚水 适量

做法：
1. 把青辣椒洗净沥干然后斜切片，放入筛子里将种子筛掉，然后加入1汤匙的盐腌制5分钟。将滚水淋于青辣椒上，然后沥干待凉。
2. 将白米醋和糖倒入干净的玻璃罐子里，然后把青辣椒合指天椒装入罐子，盖紧收入冰箱冷藏，3-4小时后就可以食用了。
