自制杏仁奶 Homemade Almond Milk

家里新买的豆浆机已经有一段时间了,可是却未上过任何帖子。这个月的最棒的食谱主题为[玩转杏仁],所以我就凑凑热闹,用家里的豆浆机来准备杏仁奶。在国外很普遍以杏仁奶来代替牛奶,以前看一些隔夜燕麦食谱时也是发现大多数是以杏仁奶来浸泡燕麦,市售的杏仁奶在这里比较不常见,所以要尝试杏仁奶的味道最好的办法就是自己做。


第一次准备杏仁奶我只用了一量杯,做出来的味道嫌少为薄了些。所以第二次我就加了多一量杯,煮出来的效果还不错。一些食谱是将杏仁加水磨碎取汁,过滤了就喝,也有一些食谱是将过滤后的杏仁奶加热才喝,至于要选择哪一种方法就随个人的喜好。我呢就要方便,而且要让家里的小宝贝喝,所以用豆浆机来煮是最好的,而且清洗也容易些。过滤一遍的杏仁奶喝起来可能喝起来不太滑,如果要更顺滑的口感可以选择过滤多几次。 一开始没想到小宝贝会接受者杏仁奶,就连我也没想到自己可以接受,因为一煮好时开起来闻到那味道就有点担心,过后加了少许蜂蜜,再尝试一下,那味道果然好很多,小宝贝看起来也蛮喜欢喝的。杏仁奶除了直接喝之外还可以用于烘焙,也可以用来准备隔夜燕麦或奇异籽布丁,就连磨好的杏仁渣也可烘干做成杏仁粉,一点也不浪费。

























自制杏仁奶

材料:
杏仁 140克
水 大约900毫升
蜂蜜 适量

做法:
1. 将杏仁浸泡8小时或放入冰箱至过夜。
2. 把杏仁冲洗沥干,并放入豆浆机。加入水,确保水位在于MAX与MIN之间。
3. 开启豆浆机电源,选择“Soymilk”功能,然后按“Start”开始煮。
4. 当制作完成后,就会听到哔声。将杏仁奶过滤,加入适量的蜂蜜即可饮用。把杏仁奶收入在密封的玻璃罐中,放在冰箱里存放长达3天。


备注:我用飞利浦Avance Collection 豆浆机HD2072。

水牛城辣鸡翅 Buffalo Wings (空气炸锅版 / Air Fryer Version)

Buffalo wings是老公的最爱,每次到餐厅用餐如果有这道菜的话,老公必定会点的。很久以前曾试过自己做Buffalo wings,不过那时买不到卡宴辣椒酱,只用了普通的辣椒酱来代替,所以味道不是很像。早前从About Food那里看到正宗水牛城辣鸡翅的做法,令我大感兴趣,去了一趟超市买齐了所有材料就在家里动手做Buffalo wings。对于不熟悉Buffalo wings的朋友可以看看下面这一段简介,这样就可以对Buffalo wings更了解。


水牛城辣鸡翅Buffalo wings,是採用鸡翅的中下部(分flats和drums),不上面粉油炸,再上以辣椒為原料的酱汁及其他调味。虽然各家有各自的酱汁配方,原本的酱汁只有:辣椒酱、白醋、牛油盐和蒜头五种材料。如果辣汁已经混合上醋,就只需要再加溶化了的牛油。故名思义,此菜源于纽约州水牛城,而时至今日一切以此种酱汁调味的食品都可成为“buffalo”。点此菜时,辣度亦可按口味增减(例如挑战级「suicidal」、特辣「hot」、中辣「medium」或微辣「mild」)。正统的鸡翅,不论hot、medium或者mild都用一样的汁料。辣度靠增加辣椒或其他香料,反之则增加牛油份量。上菜时以芹菜和蓝奶酪酱(有些餐厅以农场沙拉酱Ranch dressing)伴食。(资料来源维基百科


一般Buffalo Wings都是以蓝奶酪酱为蘸酱,一开始时我就打算用市售农场沙拉酱来代替,因为不想花太多时间准备一小碗的蘸酱,而且材料买了后也有可能用不完会浪费,不过在找农场沙拉酱时就刚好看到蓝奶酪酱,所以最后还是用了蓝奶酪酱。我做了两次Buffalo Wings,第一次完全跟回About Food的食谱,食谱的酱汁和在餐厅吃到的很相似,不过味道会比较酸点。我是用Air Fryer来炸,第一次的时间掌握得不是很好,裹上酱汁后发觉酱汁不是很粘附鸡翅上,而且没有了脆脆的口感。上网参考了其他的食谱,发现了好几个有用的贴士,所以在第二次做Buffalo Wings时我先将鸡翅腌制一下,之后就放入冰箱冷藏,结果炸出来的鸡翅比较脆。而酱汁方面我也做了一些调整,卡宴辣椒酱其实是带酸味的,所以我就省略了白醋,吃起来不会那么呛,而且加了一些蜂蜜让酱汁比较浓稠些,也比较容易粘附在鸡翅上。这个版本的Buffalo Wings我蛮喜欢的,也蛮满意,鸡翅吃起来外脆内软,而味道微酸带点辣,合我口味。



























蓝奶酪酱 + 卡宴辣椒酱






水牛城辣鸡翅

材料:
鸡翅 5个(分成翅棒腿和鸡中翅)
面粉 1/4杯
西芹条和红萝卜棒 适量
蓝奶酪酱 适量

腌料:
盐 1/4茶匙
卡宴辣椒粉 1/4茶匙
蒜粉 1/4茶匙
黑胡椒 1/4茶匙

酱汁:
卡宴辣椒酱 4汤匙(Frank's Red Hot原味)
牛油 2汤匙
蜂蜜 2汤匙

做法:
1. 以腌料将鸡翅腌制至少1小时。将鸡翅放入夹链塑料袋中,加入面粉,密封后上下翻动摇勻,让鸡翅均匀地沾上面粉。从塑料袋中取出的翅膀,抖去多余面粉,然后将鸡翅排在烤盘上,放入冰箱冷藏至少1小时。
2. 把空气炸锅预热至200°C。将鸡翅铺排在空气炸锅的烤盘或炸篮里,烤15分钟,然后把鸡翅翻过另一面,再炸10分钟或直到鸡翅炸成金黄色。
3. 炸鸡翅的同时,可以先准备酱汁,将所有酱汁材料放入一个小锅里,以小火煮至牛油融化。当鸡翅炸好后就将其放入一个大碗内,淋上酱汁,搅拌均匀至让鸡翅沾上酱汁即可。
4.将水牛城辣鸡翅放入一个大碗里,伴以芹菜和红萝卜棒一起食用,并以蓝奶酪酱为蘸酱。

干咖哩鸡面 Dry Chicken Curry Noodles

我喜欢吃咖哩面,无论是汤的或是干捞都喜欢,一月时就一次过准备了咖哩叻沙和干咖哩鸡面。由于时间关系当时只来得及上咖哩叻沙的帖子,而干咖哩鸡面的贴子却没来得及准备好,也因此错失了参与一月的小拇指活动。趁这个小拇指的主题是鸡肉,我就赶紧把贴子写好上菜,不然再拖下去可能又会拖多几个月了。


有时懒惰时我都喜欢准备面食当晚餐,一来不必准备这么多样菜,二来又可以确保家人用餐时食物还是热腾腾的。这干咖哩鸡面其实满容易准备的,只需煮好一锅的干咖哩鸡,烫个面和长豆,再加入市售的的炸腐竹就可以食用了。

做法:
1. 咖哩鸡:
加入2汤匙的油在锅里,以中火烧热,加入香料炒至香。然后再加入咖哩糊,炒至油浮面.加入鸡肉块和马铃薯,拌炒大约5分钟。之后加入清水,以大火煮滚,然后再转至中小火,加盖焖煮15分钟直到鸡肉熟透和马铃薯变软。加入适量的盐调味,最后加入椰浆,继续焖煮10分钟即可。

2. 准备干捞面:
先煮滚一锅水,然后预备一个碗里,加入捞面酱料,把云吞面弄散,投入滚水里,以筷子拨散,煮大约60秒。面煮好后用筛捞起,立即用自来水冲洗数秒,然后再浸入滚水中烫一烫,捞起沥干水份。把煮好的面倒入已加入酱料的碗里,捞至均匀。


3. 上桌
将捞好的面放入一个碟子里,勺入咖哩鸡,放入炸腐竹和川烫过的长豆,撒上青葱和红辣椒,即可享用。

玫瑰豉油鸡捞面 Rose Wine and Soy Sauce Poached Chicken with Dry Tossed Noodles

好久前从Helena's Kitchen那里看到了她那令人垂涎三尺的玫瑰豉油鸡后一直都很想尝试,不过想要煮的食物实在太多了,所以都一直迟迟未动手。那天想起了这食谱,想想也好久没吃豉油鸡了,所以就决定要把这玫瑰豉油鸡给煮出来。之前曾在港式餐厅的餐牌看到的豉油鸡捞面,觉得豉油鸡配面吃应该也不错,所以就准备了捞面来配搭。为了方便我没煮整只鸡,而且份量也太多了,最后我就选择用几个鸡腿来煮,鸡腿肉起吃来比较滑而且可以省却斩鸡肉的麻烦。


一般煮卤汁时我加入的香料都是一两个而已,不过量这食谱的香料时有点被吓倒了,桂皮、甘草和八角之类的份量都比我以往用的多,量好后的香料竟然有一小盒之多,就连调味料的份量也是挺多的,不过还好我没擅自减少,要不然香味肯定会减少许多。这卤汁一煮就是一大锅,所以我就顺手加了水煮蛋下去,这样的话就多了一样配料。煮好鸡肉千万不可将这卤汁丢弃,可将之过滤装入盒子里,放入冰箱冷冻起来,下一次想吃时就不需要再准备卤汁了。





























玫瑰豉油鸡捞面

材料:
新鲜云吞面 6团(每团约86克)
小白菜 12棵(洗净沥干)

冰糖 100克

芡汁:
粟粉 1汤匙

沾酱:
腌青辣椒
酱油

做法:
1. 玫瑰豉油鸡:
把香料装入即弃煲汤袋内,将2公升的水倒入锅内,放入煲汤袋,以大火煮至滚然后转小火煮1小时。把姜片、青葱和调味料加入卤汁内煮至滚,然后转至小火煮十五分钟,将鸡腿加入煮14分钟,加入水煮蛋,立即熄火离炉。将锅放置一旁,让鸡腿和鸡蛋浸泡在卤汁里三个小时。三小时后将鸡腿和鸡蛋取出,放入盘中,在鸡腿上抹上少许麻油,将鸡蛋切半,放置一旁备用。

2. 准备酱汁:
把 1 1/2杯的卤汁入小锅内煮滚,加入芡汁勾芡,煮至酱汁浓稠即可。

3. 准备干捞面:
先煮滚一锅水,然后加入1汤匙的食油和1茶匙的糖,放入小白菜川烫至熟。预备一个碗里,加入捞面酱料。把水再次煮滚,把云吞面弄散,投入滚水里,以筷子拨散,煮大约60秒。面煮好后用筛捞起,立即用自来水冲洗数秒,然后再浸入滚水中烫一烫,捞起沥干水份。把煮好的面倒入已加入酱料的碗里,捞至均匀。

4. 上桌
将捞好的面放入一个碟子里,排入川烫过的小白菜、玫瑰豉油鸡腿和鸡蛋,淋上少许酱汁,趁热享用。

香辣鸡肉锅仔面 Braised Yee Mee with Spicy Chicken in Mini Wok

家里最近开了一个大型炒锅来用,厨房里的橱柜早已被塞得满满的,为了要收纳这么大个的炒锅,一些旧了又没用到的锅就要被淘汰。家里的帮佣负责把那些过不要的锅子收藏在花园的橱柜里,其实我也不知道那些锅子被淘汰了,不过可以肯定不是我常用的那几个,直到有一天我在花园橱柜里拿东西时才看到我喜欢的那个迷你锅仔被淘汰了,我看了觉得有点可惜,拿了起来,洗干净后又收回屋子去。由于家里用电磁和电陶炉的,所以不适合用这些底部圆圆的锅子,不过固执的我还是会拿来用,就算不拿来煮,拿来盛食物也不错。


这香辣鸡肉锅仔面其实和美食中心卖的铁板伊面有点类似,只是家里没有铁板所以用迷你锅仔来代替。我已经有好多年没吃过铁板伊面了,每次在逛街时都向老公投诉说我要到美食中心用餐吃铁板伊面,不过每一看到他那很不情愿的表情我心想就算了,下次才去吧,结果拖了这么多年却没去过。香辣鸡肉锅仔面我煮了两次,第一次用瓦煲来盛,面煮软后下沉,结果拍出来的效果不是那么好,所以隔了一段日子我又煮了一次,也就是这次,不用瓦煲,改用迷你锅仔来盛,效果看起来还蛮不错。我将迷你锅仔放在电陶炉上加热,看到那些酱汁煮滚起泡泡,效果有点像用铁板一样,真是开心,不过这是不良的示范,如果要这样加热一定要小心注意安全哦,不然烫伤了就不好!

马来香料炸鸡 Ayam Goreng Berempah | Malay Spiced Fried Chicken

以前做工时偶尔会光顾马来档口,而我最喜欢的就是那里的炸鸡,一块炸鸡配上一些腌黄瓜黄梨就成了简单的午餐。很久都没吃到马来香料炸鸡了,好想念炸鸡的味道,所以就决定自己在家里煮。昨晚煮了锅香兰椰浆饭、叁巴虾和马来香料炸鸡,然后再准备一壶玫瑰酸柑水来当饮料,马来风味的晚餐就完成了。




















腌鸡肉的那些香料我没丢弃,放入油里一起炸,
炸好后就成香香脆脆的配料,捞饭一起吃一级棒!
