亚参酱 Assam Sauce

在家,我娘煮咖喱,她都是用自己煮的咖喱酱,从来不买外面的即煮咖喱料。
所以,我娘的咖喱,总有她自己的味道。
没想到,今天,她女儿也学起来了。
自己准备亚参酱。

食谱链接:Ohbin(少许更动)

材料:(可做约3x350ml的酱料)
A)
香茅---8 支
姜花---2 支
蒜头---4 颗(约90g)
小红葱---8 颗(约90g)

B)
辣椒糊---350 g
亚参膏---500 g(分次放,以防太酸)
糖---10 tbsps
盐---适量(我没放)

C)
植物油---100 g

做法:
  1. 将材料A用搅拌器打烂。(我加了少许水来搅打,要不然打不成糊状)
  2. 热锅下油,爆香(1)。
  3. 加入材料B,搅拌均匀,并煮至滚。
  4. 待凉后,装入干净的玻璃罐冷藏即可。
备注:
  1. 由于第一次用亚参膏,不知道它的籽得挑出来。如果再做,我会将籽先挑出来,再煮。那样,煮出来的亚参酱就不会带籽了。
  2. 这个酱可以用来煮亚参鱼头,等等。
Ingredients:(Can get approx. 3x350ml of the assam sauce)
A)
Lemongrass (Serai)---8 stalks
Torch ginger flower bud (Bunga Kantan)---2 stalks
Garlic---4 nos(approx. 90g)

B)
Chili boh--- 350 g

C)
Vege oil---100 g

Method:
  1. Blend (A) til it forms paste. (I added some water during blending. Otherwise, the mixture could not blend into paste form)
  2. Heat a pan with some oil, saute (1).
  3. Add in (B), stir well and cook til the mixture comes into boiling.
  4. After the paste is cooled, fill it into a clean glass bottle and refrigerate.
Note:
  1. Since this is my first time using assam paste, I don't know it is needed to remove the tamarind seeds. If I were to make this again, I would first remove the seeds, then only cook it so that the assam sauce made will not have the seeds in it.
  2. This sauce can be used to cook assam fish head, etc.

猪肠粉 Steamed Rice Rolls (Chee Cheong Fun)


今天从学校回到家,突然很想吃猪肠粉。
可是,不知道哪里可以买得到。
于是,想说上网谷歌一下,看看食谱,解解瘾就算了。
谁知道,看到Ohbin的食谱,只需简单的材料,亦不用等一个小时醒面糊。
嘻嘻。。
好吧,那就来吧!

人生中第一次的猪肠粉登场咯~
可惜,我包虾子的肠粉技巧不好,包得惨不忍睹。。呵呵。。
所以,就只拍kosong的肠粉,有虾子的就直接吃,不要拿出来献丑了。
嘻嘻。。

蒸出来的猪肠粉非常滑,非常嫩!
感觉上像是在吃粿汁那样,只不过粿汁比较韧。
美中不足的地方就是,隐隐约约吃到粉的味道。
如果好像Ohbin那样配着味道较重的香菇汁的话,盖过粉味就比较好。
那像我只是淋上酱青吃的话,味道就没那么好了。

无论如何,我过后加了很多的芝麻,青葱和甜酱油捞着吃,好好吃咧~
非常滑的肠粉配上咸香的酱汁和鲜虾,完全盖过粉的味道了,味道即刻升级了!
我一个人就吃了一大盘。

这份食谱可以做约12条肠粉,但我只做了6条就不继续做了,还将剩余的面糊倒掉了。
虽然知道浪费食物很不好,但因为老娘饿了,也累了,所以真的没办法再继续咯。
不过,只许一次,下不为例。

食谱参考:Ohbin

材料:
粘米粉         150 g
玉米粉         2 tbsp
水                  250 ml
盐                  1/2 tsp
玉米油         2 tbsp (我只放1 tbsp)

热水             350 ml

内馅:
去壳鲜虾     6只

做法:
  1. 将所有材料(除了热水)混合均匀后,才倒入热水,搅拌成无颗粒的面糊。
  2. 将一个盘子或碟子放入蒸笼里蒸约2分钟后,取出,抹上少许油。
  3. 面糊搅拌均匀后,舀一勺入盘子,蒸4-5分钟或至米浆不均匀地涨起。
  4. 把盘子取出,待凉后用锅铲将肠粉卷成条状。(此为无馅肠粉)
  5. 当蒸好的肠粉稍微放凉后,铺上鲜虾,卷起后,再蒸约1分钟。(此为鲜虾肠粉)
  6. 最后,淋上自己喜欢的酱汁即可。
备注:
  1. 卷好的肠粉,亦可将它们切成条状再盛盘。
  2. 每一次倒入面糊前,都必须将面糊搅拌均匀。
Ingredients:
Rice flour          150 g
Corn flour         2 tbsp
Water                250 ml
Salt                     1/2 tsp
Corn oil            2 tbsp (I just put 1 tbsp)

Hot water         350 ml

Filling:
Prawns              6 nos (Remove the shells)

Method:
  1. Mix all the ingredients (except hot water) together followed by hot water. Then, stir til they form a smooth batter.
  2. Heat a pan/ plate in the steamer for approx. 2 minutes. Remove and grease with some oil.
  3. Stir the mixture til evenly mixed, scoop a ladle of the batter into the pan, steam for 4-5 minutes or til there are some bubbles popping below the batter.
  4. Remove the pan, let it cool a little, then roll it up with spatula. (This is the rice rolls without filling)
  5. As soon as the steamed rice roll is cooled a little, put on the prawns, roll it up and steam for another minute. (This is the rice roll with prawns)
  6. Serve the rice rolls with preferred sauce.
Remark:
  1. You can also cut the rice rolls into strips.
  2. Before pouring the batter into the pan, it is a must to stir it evenly.

自制全蛋面配香菇肉燥 Homemade Egg Noodles and Minced Meat with Mushroom

星期六做了全蛋面配香菇肉燥。
一直以来,喜欢吃有嚼劲,弹牙的面条。

上网谷歌了一下,看到轩宏妈的食谱。
轩宏妈用了一些高筋面粉取代部分的普通面粉,做出来的面条有嚼劲。
于是,我也跟着轩宏妈的做法,混合高与中筋面粉。

做出来的面条真的很有嚼劲。
但是,对于粗面,我和我娘都觉得我的面条吃起来,太有嚼劲了。
但是,细面就刚刚好。
我在想,是粗面条杆得太厚或是煮不够久呢?

下次如果再做,我会试试将粗面用‘1或2’号档来杆面条,而细面则保持用‘3’号档。 
那样子,应该可以做出软硬适中的面条了。

无论如何,自制的全蛋面配上香菇肉燥,真的很好吃!
好吃得我一口接一口,吃了一大碗!
呵呵~
