椰子炖燕窝 Double Boiled Bird's Nest in Coconut

上周末整个城市又再被烟霾笼罩着,到底何时才能呼吸到清洁的空气呢?最近我也因为烟霾的关系咳嗽了一段日子才痊愈,就连医生也看看了好几回。在这种天气,喉咙很容易感到不适,最好是喝些滋润的甜品润一润。已经有一段日子没炖燕窝给家人吃了,所以上周末我就买了几粒香椰回家,用这些椰子来炖燕窝。我用了上次的做法,再做少许调整,炖出来的燕窝带点淡淡的椰香,而且喝起来的味道不会太甜,就连小宝贝也很喜欢喝。














































椰子炖燕窝

材料:
泰国香椰 4粒
燕窝 2片
香兰叶 4片(剪成2寸段)
蔗糖 1/3杯或适量

做法:
1. 用清水将燕窝浸泡2小时或至发透柔软,将发透好的燕窝稍微用清水清洗,然后沥干。

2. 将燕窝、香兰叶和蔗糖放入炖盅,放入一个深锅内以中火隔水炖2个小时。炖好后将香兰叶取出弃之,把燕窝分成四份,备用。

3. 把椰子顶部切开,保留作为盖子。每粒椰子倒出约1/3杯椰水,以让椰盅里有足够的位子放入燕窝。每粒椰子放入一份燕窝,盖上椰子顶盖,把椰子盅放在烤碗或瓷碗内。

4. 把椰盅放入锅内,以中火炖大约1/2个小时即可。冷热享用均可。


份量:4人份


备注:
**不同的燕窝炖的时间也不同,可参考包装指示或依个人喜好炖至自己喜欢的软度。









Double Boiled Bird's Nest in Coconut

Ingredients:
4 Thai fragrant young coconut
2 pieces of bird's nest
4 pandan leaves, cut into 2 inches sections
1/3 cup cane sugar, or to taste

Methods:
1. Soak the bird's nest pieces for 2 hours or until softened. Rinse and drain.

2. Add bird's nest, pandan leaves and cane sugar to the ceramic double boiled jar, then cover with lid. Place the jar into the pot, fill the pot with enough water, then put the lid on. Double boil for 2 hours over medium heat. When the bird's nest is cooked, remove and discard the pandan leaves, then divide the bird's nest into 4 portions, set aside.

3. Crack open the top of the coconut, pour out about 1/3 cup of coconut juice from each coconut. Place 1 portion of bird's nest in each coconut, cover with the lid, then place the coconut in a ramekin or bowl.

4. Put the coconuts in pot and double boil for 1/2 hour over medium heat. Serve warm or chilled.


Servings: 4


Note:
**You can refer the package instructions for the cooking time of the bird's nest, or you can cook the bird's nest to desired texture.

万圣夜手指面包与南瓜浓汤 Halloween Bread-Finger Pumpkin Soup

从去年开始就对万圣夜主题的食物感到有兴趣,此后看到关于万圣夜主题的食物的照片都会特别关注。其实今年时间比较紧逼,也没打算要准备任何食物。几个星期前刚好在书展时买了套万圣夜主题的食谱书和饼干模回来,价钱真的很超值,才RM5。里面的一些食谱也挺吸引人的,看了后我又技痒,想尝试一下,反正材料和做法也很简单。


食谱书里面其中最吸引我的就是这个万圣夜手指面包与南瓜浓汤。以酥皮和杏仁做成的手指面包握着马克杯,而马克杯里装着南瓜浓汤,再以鲜奶油装饰成蜘蛛网状,看起来有点诡异和恐怖,充满万圣夜的气氛!去年也曾准备奶油培根南瓜浓汤,不过那个南瓜浓汤的味道比较偏重奶油味,而现在的这个食谱加入了姜茸和豆蔻粉这类香料,让味道更丰富,恐怖造型的手指面包也很好吃, 酥酥脆脆的,也很香芝士味。手指面包的部分蛮容易准备的,父母可以和小朋友们一起动手做,享受一下亲子乐,小朋友们也一定会觉得好玩又好吃,肯定会乐开怀!

Halloween Bread-Finger Pumpkin Soup

(Recipe adapted from Scooby-Doo! Spooky Snacks, pg. 16, with some adjustments)

Ingredients:
For the soup:
2 tbsp organic extra virgin coconut oil
500 g pumpkin, diced
100g carrot, diced
100 g potatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
1 tsp grated ginger
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 tbsp tomato puree
600 ml vegetable stock, or more
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Grated nutmeg, to taste

For the finger:
1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
20 g grated Parmesan cheese, or more
Salt and black pepper
Paprika
Some whole almond, cut into half

To garnish:
Whipping cream

Method:
1. For the soup:
Heat the coconut oil in a pot and gently cook the pumpkin, onion, carrot, potato, ginger and garlic until softened. Add the tomato puree and stock and bring to a boil.

Simmer for 20-30 minutes, until soft. Puree finely in a blender until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. Add a little more stock if the soup is too thick.

2. For the fingers:
Preheat air fryer to 200°C. Brush the pastry sheets with beaten egg. Sprinkle with paprika, grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Cut the pastry sheet into half, then cut into 1cm strips. Brush the ends again with egg and stick almonds on for the "fingernails".

3. To serve:
Ladle the soup into mugs. Put the whipping cream into a small plastic bag and cut off the corner to make a small hole. Pipe a spiral of whipping cream on top of each mug of soup, then drag a toothpick from middle to the outside in several places to make a cobweb effect. Place the fingers so that they appear to be holding the mugs and serve on small plates.


Serving: 4

椰香海鲜冬荫汤 Seafood Tom Yum with Coconut

从小宝贝可以和我们一起用餐后,我和老公就很少在外吃辛辣的食物,多数都会找一些适合她的地方用餐。酸酸辣辣的冬荫汤已有好久没吃了,看回以前的帖子,突然想念起椰香冬荫功的味道了。买了粒椰子在家煮了锅海鲜版的冬荫汤,不但可以解嘴馋,还可以让我从新拍些照片,因为之前拍的那些照片实在有点差强人意。


今天就是第一天没有帮佣的日子,暂时看来还可以应付,不过就需要好好策划我的时间。虽然说之前也有试过需要自己做家务,不过近两年多来家务都有帮佣代劳,所以我都一直处于比较轻松的状态。由于现在有了小宝贝,再加上小朋友肯定不会乖乖地坐在那里等你做完家务,所以吸尘方面就买了架机器人吸尘器代劳,这一来就节省了一些时间,也可以确保地上时常保持干净。以后可能就得花多一点时间在家务上,上部落格的时间就需逐渐减少了。





















椰子是在Aeon 买的,现点现开,
负责开椰的工人将整个椰肉球完美地取出,
看了真的让人满心欢喜。












椰香海鲜冬荫汤

老虎虾 8只(去肠泥,保留虾壳及尾部)

鱼露 1/3杯或适量

泰式辣椒酱 3汤匙或适量
新鲜椰浆 1杯
新鲜嫩椰子 1粒(取椰肉及椰水,椰子保留下来当做盅,椰水大约1 1/2杯)
虾高汤 5杯
芫茜 适量

份量:4人

做法:
1. 将椰水和虾高汤倒入汤锅里,以大火煮至滚,然后调至小火,加入香茅,南姜和疯柑叶煮15分钟至香味出。然后再拌入泰式辣椒酱,加入指天椒和以鱼露调味。

2. 调至中火,加入金针菇、灰蚝菇和嫩玉米,煮2-3分钟。把虾和墨鱼加入,继续大约煮1分钟。倒入椰浆,煮至滚。熄火,倒入青柠汁和加入椰肉,搅拌均匀即可。盛在碗里,撒上芫茜,伴与白饭,乘热享用。

娘惹胭脂鸡 Inche Kabin | Nyonya Fried Chicken (空气炸锅版 / Air Fryer Version)

胭脂鸡是娘惹菜肴之一,鸡肉先以香料腌制,然后再炸至金黄,一般都是伴与喼汁一起吃。家里有几本食谱书都有胭脂鸡的做法,不过每本的做法都不同,过后我决定选了其中一个食谱来试。一些做法都是将鸡肉炸两次,确保鸡肉吃起来香脆,可是怕油的我就选择了用空气炸锅来炸。用空气炸锅炸起来的胭脂鸡一样可以皮脆肉嫩,最重要的是没那么油腻。由于时间关系我下午就将鸡肉炸好了,刚炸好时皮非常脆肉又多汁,非常美味,可是到了晚餐时间皮已经不脆了,虽然已冷了,不过鸡肉的味道还是很不错,腌得很入味。两个星期前我准备了个娘惹风味的晚餐,除了胭脂鸡外,我还准备了叁巴羊角豆。


今年年初时曾去了一趟马六甲参加夫家亲戚的婚宴,这是我第一次参加峇峇娘惹的婚宴,也是第一次看到峇峇娘惹传统的结婚服饰,现场很多女性来宾都穿着娘惹服饰,真的是让我大开眼界。那趟马六甲之旅除了见识到特别的婚宴外,也败了不少摆饰品回来。未去前就看到网友的竹篮照片,问了地方后就一直缠着老公一定要带我去,结果这一去就把我整年的quota给用完。从马六甲带回来的Bakul Siah已有一段时间了,等了这么久终于找到机会让它们亮亮相。




































我只用了最简单的沾酱,李派林喼汁加酸柑。
一些食谱的沾酱很特别,除了喼汁和酸柑,
还会加入红辣椒丝、糖、酱油和芥末粉。












娘惹胭脂鸡

(食谱参考《最美味鸡肉佳肴》,第60页,做少许更改)

材料:
鸡全腿 3个(斩块)

腌料:
红葱头 6粒
香茅 3支(取下半部)
黄姜  2公分
鸡蛋 1/2粒
咖哩粉 1汤匙
盐 1 1/2茶匙
粟粉 3汤匙
椰浆 50毫升

装饰:
生菜 适量
炸虾饼  适量
烤香白芝麻 适量
红辣椒碎 适量
青葱粒 适量

沾酱:
李派林喼汁 适量

做法:
1. 把腌料材料放入食物处理器里,搅拌至顺滑,然后均匀地抹在鸡全腿上,放入冰箱腌至少4小时或隔夜。

2. 把空气炸锅预热至180°C。把腌好的鸡肉放在烤盘里,炸大约25分钟或至金黄色即可。盛出与生菜和虾饼一起排盘,撒上白芝麻、红辣椒碎和青葱粒,伴与喼汁乘热享用!


备注:
*炸的时间视鸡肉的大小而定,请自行调整。

椰子奶昔 Coconut Shake

相信大家都曾听说过马六甲Jln Klebang著名的椰子奶昔吧!椰子奶昔是以椰肉、椰水及冰块搅拌而成的,装入杯后会再加上一勺香草雪糕,清新解渴,这奶昔绝对是消暑的最佳饮料。虽然我每年都会去马六甲,可是却未曾试过这著名的椰子奶昔。每次南下马六甲的行程都很紧逼,老公的三位姑姑都住在马六甲的不同区域,通常都是一早出发,探访完三位姑姑后就得赶在晚餐前回到家。以前没小宝贝时都会在探访时一路找吃,试一试不同的美食,现在呢就得迁就小宝贝,尽量选一些她可以吃的食物,要找美食恐怕就有点难度了,更别说要去那些需要打排长龙的地方。


烟霾的日子真得很难挨,过去的那么多天都很少可以看见蓝天白云阳光普照,望出窗外只可以看到被烟霾笼罩的景色。今天的天气突然好转,早上出房门时就可以看到阳光从房外的窗口照进来,看到那黄色温暖的阳光感觉真好,回房再看一看窗外的远景,终于比以往清晰了许多,今天真是个好日子!虽然我和Jln Klebang椰子奶昔没缘份,不过我还是可以尝试在家自己准杯特别的椰子奶昔解嘴馋。这椰子奶昔椰香味浓,不过喝起来却很清新,令人回味无穷,有机会一定要试一试哦!

2. 把所有椰肉、椰水及香草雪糕放入搅拌机内,搅拌至幼滑,然后倒入3个杯中,撒上少许椰肉丝和椰糖碎即可饮用。
