香橙迷迭香三文鱼 Orange-Rosemary Glazed Salmon

蜜汁三文鱼后,昨天我又再尝试煮新口味的三文鱼,香橙迷迭香三文鱼。以香橙和迷迭香煮的酱汁吃起来酸酸甜甜的,蛮开胃的,味道也和三文鱼很搭配。昨天的晚餐除了香橙迷迭香三文鱼外,我还准备了炒菠菜及糙米饭。最近每个星期至少煮一次糙米饭,晚餐时的蔬菜也多煮些,希望家人可以吃得健康点。我家里最喜欢吃糙米饭的就是小宝贝了,每次都吵着我要煮糙米饭,可是我不敢煮这么多次,怕家婆接受不到。我家小宝贝一看到三文鱼就很开心了,可惜她却不喜欢这个新煮法,吃晚餐时看到我把额外的酱汁淋在鱼上就一直告诉我说不要酱汁,过后我只好拨开外面的那层,取里面的鱼肉给她。和之前的蜜汁三文鱼相比,小宝贝会比较喜欢之前的蜜汁三文鱼,加上当天我煮了藜麦饭,她一口接一口地吃个不停。看来我还得花些功夫,多煮些不同的食物让她尝试和接受。

蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱 Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

记得几年前老公介绍了我吃卡疆炸鸡沙拉,这炸鸡沙拉令我一试难忘,过后每次到那间餐厅都会点这道沙拉。卡疆炸鸡沙拉的沙拉酱是以蜂蜜芥末调成的,味道酸酸甜甜的,与炸鸡沙拉一起吃非常搭配及清新,而且不会油腻。上星期的其中一个晚上,我准备了卡疆炸鸡沙拉配搭蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱当二人晚餐。虽然自制的卡疆炸鸡沙拉和餐厅的味道有点不同,不过老公说味道不错,不一定要和餐厅的做的一模一样,听到他那么说真的令我很开心,因为平常如果问他食物味道如何,他的答案永远都是一样,只有“OK”。


从网上找到蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱的做法都很不同,有些有加美乃滋,有些加入植物油,而另一些则加入酸奶油。最后我参考了一些有加入美乃滋的食谱,不过材料的份量方面我就自己调整,慢慢调至适合自己的口味。这蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱味道酸酸甜甜的,除了当沙拉酱外也适合当炸鸡块的蘸酱。

上星期日趁小宝贝不用上课,我们一家就带着小宝贝去巴刹参观,没想到小宝贝可以六点多就起身和我们一起去。其实家里的鸡肉、鱼肉等食材的供应都还足够到下个星期,所以去巴刹只是纯碎让小宝贝见识不一样的东西。反正不需要买晚餐的食材,我就买些海底椰、马蹄和竹蔗来煮糖水。之前曾经煮过海底椰马蹄糖水竹蔗马蹄水,不过一次用三种材料海底椰、马蹄和竹蔗来煮就没有试过。除了这三种材料,我还再加入红萝卜、蜜枣和石蜂糖,煮出来的糖水非常清甜,冷热饮用皆适合。现在的天气热得令人受不了,最好是喝些糖水来解热消暑。

年糕卷 Spring Roll Nian Gao (空气炸锅版 / Air Fryer Version)

早前回娘家时妈妈给了我些年糕,我收在冰箱都几个星期了,直到现在才得空用这些年糕做糕点。我很喜欢吃炸番薯芋头年糕,不过传统的方式是裹上面糊用来油炸,虽然好吃,不过却很油腻。之前bookmark了Peng's Kitchen的年糕卷食谱,一看到照片时就被那一深一浅的紫色给吸引着。年糕卷是以春卷皮包着淡紫色的芋头和深紫色的紫薯,而最中间那一层就是年糕。我将包好的年糕卷涂上一层椰子油才放入用空气炸锅里炸,炸好的年糕卷非常香,而且不会油腻。年糕卷的外皮炸金黄香脆,芋头泥和紫薯泥的内馅香甜软绵,而年糕则香滑软Q,吃起来的口感丰富。这年糕卷可以准备多一些收入冰箱里冷冻,想吃时拿出来解冻,然后放入空气炸锅里炸就可以了,非常方便。

蜜汁三文鱼 Honey Glazed Salmon

最近家里比较常买三文鱼,通常我都是以照烧或干煎的方式煮。这次我用了比较特别的酱汁来煮,酱汁是以蜂蜜和酱油调成的,煮法有点类似照烧,不过却没加入清酒和味醂。这蜜汁三文鱼煮了两次才成功,第一次时我参考一些食谱,用蜜汁腌制三文鱼然后才煎,不过可能是因为有蜂蜜的关系,外皮很快就煎得焦掉了。所以第二次我就决定不要用蜜汁腌制,直接将三文鱼煎至金黄色后才加入蜜汁一起煮。这煮法比较简单,而且煮出来的三文鱼卖相也比较美。那天中午准备了一顿丰富的午餐,除了有蜜汁三文鱼外,我还准备了西兰花、红萝卜及糙米饭一起搭配。

2. 把蜜汁的材料加入平底锅里,以中火煮滚,转至小火,然后将三文鱼放回平地锅里。用汤匙勺蜜汁淋在三文鱼上,继续煮大约2-3分钟,直到蜜汁煮至浓稠及三文鱼煮至熟透。
