CNY Dishes # 6 - 春风得意甜如蜜 | 桂花红枣炖燕窝 Double Boiled Bird's Nest with Osmanthus and Red Dates

一转眼又到了正月十五,元宵节,这一日是农历新年的第一个月圆之夜,也新春活动的最后一天了。今年的年菜有六道,之前已经上了五道菜肴,最后一道当然是以甜品作为結尾。往年的新年是我都爱以桂花入馔,将桂花加入甜品内,前年有桂花馬蹄糕椰汁桂花糕,去年有黄金桂花糕,而今年也不例外,我用桂花和红枣来炖燕窝。以桂花和红枣来炖燕窝是我蛮喜欢的一个炖法,之前我也曾上过了食谱,不过这次我在份量和炖煮的方法方面做了少许更改,而且还附上英文版本的食谱,方便读者参考。

CNY Dishes # 5 - 春临大地喜丰收 | 瓦煲腊味饭 Claypot Waxed Sausage Rice | Lap Mei Fan

腊味是农历新年时的传统食品,很多人都会在新年前买些腊味应节送礼。记得小时候妈妈总会在新年时会蒸些腊鸭来吃,我记得当时我是非常怕那种味道,可能那时还小,所以不懂得欣赏腊鸭的特殊香味。小时爱吃的腊味只有腊肠而已,因为味道带甜,最喜欢的煮法就是将腊肠斜切片后用来煎。煎得香香的腊肠,配碗热乎乎的白粥,虽然简单,可是却很美味。近年来我爱上了腊肝肠,肝肠也称为润肠,颜色偏深褐色,是以肝制成的。前几年都是从同一间店买入肝肠,不过今年就换了向另一间店买,结果买回来的肝肠口感有别于往年买的,这一批肝肠吃起来粉粉的,酒香味偏浓,可是我就吃得很不惯,还是喜欢之前的那一款肝肠,因为口感比较扎实。


新年期间酒家和餐馆推出的年菜配套里都少不了腊味饭,可是每次吃到接近尾声肚子已经开始饱了,就算看到再美味的腊味饭也只是吃一两口而已。今年的团圆晚饭和娘家聚餐时,我们将饭食转换成面食,因为面食比较适合小孩子食用。新年至今我都未尝到腊味饭,心想反正家里都有材料,何不自己动手做。由于夫家家人都不吃腊味,所以我的腊味只是买来给自己吃而已,存货也只有腊肠和肝肠两种。


从香港有饭开的视频里看到了Jenny教煮的排骨腊味煲仔饭,视频里提到了易刮饭焦的秘诀。首先将水煮沸了才放入米,煮好饭后再以中火烧煲仔的四边约两分钟,就可以煮又香又脆的饭焦,而且很容易就可将饭焦刮出,一点也不会沾锅。我依照这这方法煮了三次, 效果都很不错,饭焦不会沾锅,而且很容易刮出,就连清洗瓦煲时也比较容易。吃了热乎乎的瓦煲腊味饭真的很满足,腊味的油脂都流到饭里去了,让每颗饭粒吃起来都有腊味香。我在腊味饭里加入了蒜苗,蒜苗味道带辛辣,让腊味饭吃起来不会那么的油腻。腊味饭味道虽然好吃,不过一定要适而可止,毕竟食用过多油脂量高的食品对身体也不好。






























瓦煲腊味饭

材料:
白米 1杯(洗净沥干,我用泰国香米)
水 1 1/3杯
腊肠 2条
腊润肠 2条
蒜苗 2根,斜切段
蒜茸1 茶匙

甜酱油:
酱油 2汤匙
老抽 1茶匙
绍兴酒 1汤匙
糖 3茶匙
麻油 1茶匙
水 1茶匙

做法:
1. 把腊肠和腊润肠浸泡在热水里5分钟,然后取出去肠衣,斜切片备用。

2. 把水加入瓦煲里煮至滚,然后加入白米,以大火煮大约5分钟或直到大部份水份被米吸收了。煮时要不时搅拌,以防止沾锅底。

3. 小心地将腊肠和腊润肠排放在饭上,加盖继续以小火煮10分钟。煮好后熄火,利用余热焖大约10分钟。

4. 在一个锅里,以中火烧热1/2汤匙的油。加入蒜茸爆香,然后加入蒜苗,拌炒1至2分钟即可,盛出备用。在一个小锅里加入甜酱油的材料,煮至糖完全溶化即可。

5. 把炒好的蒜苗排在饭上,淋上适量的甜酱油,将拌均匀后即可乘热食用。


份量:2人份




Claypot Waxed Sausage Rice | Lap Mei Fan

Ingredients:
1 cup rice, washed and drained  ( I used Thai Fragrant Rice)
1 1/3 cups water
2 pieces Chinese pork sausages
1 piece Chinese liver sausage
2 stalks leek, sliced diagonally
1 tsp minced garlic

Sweet Soy Sauce:
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp Shao Xing wine
3 tsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp water

Method:
1. Soak Chinese sausages and liver sausages in hot water for 5 minutes, remove the skin and slice diagonally.

2. Add water to the claypot, and bring to boil. Add rice and cook over high heat for about 5 minutes or until the water is almost absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the claypot.

3. Gently arrange all the sausages on top of the rice. Cover the lid and cook for 10 minutes over low heat. Turn off the heat and let it stand for 10 minutes.

4. Heat 1/2 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat, add minced garlic and saute until fragrant. Add leek, stir fry for 1 - 2 minutes, then dish out. In a small saucepan, mix all sweet soy sauce ingredients, heat the sauce until the sugar is fully dissolved.

5. Arrange the stir fried leeks on top of the rice. Drizzle with some sweet soy sauce. Mix and stir well to combine before serving. Serve hot.

CNY Dishes # 4 - 齐声庆贺笑哈哈 | 奶香腰果虾 Creamy Prawns with Cashew Nuts

今年的“笑哈哈”一波三折,一开始时是打算准备这道奶香腰果虾作为年菜,也曾试煮了一次,不过不是很成功,所以就换了另一个食谱,荔茸凤尾虾。新年前小宝贝进了院,住了好几天,到年二十七时才从医院回来,原还不打算准备团圆午饭了,过后又放不下心,赶紧准备材料,终于都来得及准备之前计划好的海味一品锅鱼鳔猪肚汤。而工序比较多而且难准备的荔茸凤尾虾就改为简单的金银蒜粉丝蒸虾。金银蒜粉丝蒸虾的味道虽不错,不过食谱还有待改进,再加上当天拍的照片实在太差强人意,所以就不上帖子了。


过完年初七后我就比较得空,所以我就重新写过奶香腰果虾的食谱,调整食材的份量,看改良后煮出来的效果会不会比较好,因为之前住出来的酱汁太湿,让虾无法沾上腰果。年初七与娘家聚餐时吃到一道很不错的泰式虾,虾先炸过然后再裹上带点微橙的奶白酱汁,没猜错的话应该是用了美乃滋和泰式辣椒酱。虽然曾经考虑过用美乃滋来煮酱汁,让虾容易沾上腰果,不过家人却不吃美乃滋,所以我就改为淡奶加切达芝士,将酱汁煮得浓稠,效果和用美乃滋也差不多。奶香芝士香还有麻疯柑叶的香,配搭香脆的炸腰果碎,我终于成功煮出今年的“笑哈哈”年菜了。虾寓意着笑哈哈,希望家人吃了虾,在新的一年里每天都笑哈哈。


































奶香腰果虾

材料:
中虾 350克(剪须脚,去肠泥)
牛油 1汤匙
蒜茸 1汤匙
指天椒 1条(切圈)
麻疯柑叶 2片,切幼丝
淡奶 80毫升
切达芝士 1片
腰果 50克 (烤香切碎)
粟粉 适量

调味料:
盐 1/4茶匙
糖 1 1/2茶匙

做法:
1. 在一个锅里烧热适量的油。将虾裹上粟粉,放入油锅里炸至熟,捞出备用。

2. 在一个平底锅里,以中火烧热牛油。加入蒜茸、指天椒及麻疯柑叶爆香。加入淡奶、切达芝士及调味料,然后煮至芝士溶化。加入炸好的虾和腰果碎,拌炒至均匀即可。盛碟,趁热享用。


份量:3至4人

CNY Dishes # 3 - 鱼跃龙门百业兴 | 鱼鳔猪肚汤 Pig Stomach and Fish Maw Soup

去年年菜系列的汤我准备了白菜鱼鳔汤,而今年我就准备了鱼鳔猪肚汤。新年前就买了两包鱼鳔,准备用来煮年菜,我用了其中一包金龙鱼鳔来煮这猪肚汤,而另一包鸭舌就用来焖,作为海味一品锅的主角之一。为了让小宝贝也可以喝这汤,我将白胡椒粒的份量减少,所以汤喝起来只有很淡的胡椒味。年初二回娘家时,妈妈也准备了一样的汤,也和我的一样,属于比较淡口味的,所有小朋友都适合喝。

今年回娘家时刚巧大伯父和堂姐到访,再加上小弟弟的朋友也来拜访,屋里突然变得很热闹。当天妈妈准备了一桌子的佳肴等我们回来吃,有丰富的盆菜、焖猪手五香肉卷豉油皇虾、猪肚汤、清蒸白鲳鱼、金银糕烧、卤鸭和索面。不过由于人数太多,吃饭时就得分批吃,吃完饭,小朋友们就各自玩游戏,而大人们就聚在一起喝酒闲聊。家里姐弟多,小朋友也自然比较多,那么回娘家时就显得比较热闹。自从结婚后就特别喜欢新年,因为只有在新年期间才有机会和亲朋戚友相聚,平时都是各忙各的,唯有新年时大家才会互相拜访,相聚的时间虽短,不过可以闲聊一下,谈谈生活近况,已经让人感到很窝心。






祝大家人日快乐! 
情人节快乐!
甜甜蜜蜜,幸福快乐!





















妈妈煮的满桌佳肴!

CNY Dishes # 1 - 富贵旺财好就手 | 海参焖猪手 Braised Pig Trotter with Sea Cucumber

每次大日子尤其是农历新年妈妈都会煮海参焖猪手,这道菜肴已成了她的拿手好菜,无论是家人或到访的亲戚都喜欢吃。前年和去年的冬至时我尝试煮这道菜肴,可是我下太多的老抽,导致猪皮的颜色太黑了,卖相不美,所以就没上贴子。经过两次的实验,我觉定再试多一次,成功的话就把这海参焖猪手列入我的2016年的年菜系列里。这次我将老抽的份量减少了一半,终于成功了,煮出来的猪手颜色恰好,看起来美美的!


为了煮这海参焖猪手我打了很多通电话给妈妈,问长问短,深怕少了那个步骤又令到我的海参焖猪手又再失败。第一次煮只是纯碎焖猪手和香菇,第二次和第三次就比较丰富一点,除了香菇我还加入了猪蹄筋和海参。经长时间焖煮,把猪手焖得香软,丰富的胶质真的令人抗拒不了。我将一些川烫过西兰花放入锅里围边作为伴菜,翠翠绿绿的,好看好吃又有营养。妈妈食谱的焖猪手步骤会比较多,首先必须先将猪手川烫过以去除血水和杂质,抹干后再以老抽、盐和五香粉涂抹,然后放入油锅里炸至金黄色,完成了这三个步骤才开始焖煮。将猪手先下锅炸一炸再焖,焖好的猪皮就比较好吃。而另一个主要食材海参则会分开焖煮,这样就可以确保海参煮得熟,口感又刚好,不会太软太绵。


过节时妈妈都会准备整桌的菜肴,除了一般的鱼虾鸡鸭菜肴外,妈妈还会准备一大碗的索面(兴化线面)。过节时吃索面是我们家的习惯,尤其是在正月初一,因为索面寓意长寿。索面的准备方法很简单,烫好的索面用些酥葱油和猪油拌一拌就可以了。这些索面和焖猪手是绝配,用焖猪手的汤汁捞着索面一起吃味道更棒!



送上海参焖猪手给大家,祝大家在金猴年里富贵旺财好就手!

猪手 1个(约1.3公斤)
