Early June


{Joan Miró: Barcelona Series}

考完試去完旅行先黎傷風。現在聲音像麥兜。獨自看完Miró展覽後昏睡三句鐘,現在煮晚飯去 (雜菜煲配白飯,因為男友也病了:()。

記下昨天開心小事 — 最難最緊張的三年級哲學作業得了first :) 技術性擊倒!今年讀得好認真、好快樂。

出前一丁麻油味


家中吃得一向清淡,但今晚的一碗餐蛋麵,切實地滿足了我思鄉的味蕾(和肚皮)。

怕會唔記得,所以轉載



冬菇炆冬菇,家母的純技術展示。

不要問我會否太單調那些蠢問題,也不要問我可否下豉油 (你要下,難道我打你不成?)不過如果你還想下Maggi 美極鮮醬油的話,最好別告訴我。只是,你為何不到茶餐廳吃餐蛋麵呢?你大可豉油美極茄汁喼汁下個夠。幹嗎要花功夫去炆冬菇?

冬菇、蠔油要用靚(好)的,無味冬菇、浪費功夫。又,冬菇要夠香,大不一定好。

材料:
冬菇 (乾身、平放時面積1吋x1吋, 較薄身的冬菇仔 : 50-60隻; 如果你用的冬菇較大隻,請自行調節份量)
蔥一條切數段
薑數片
蒜數粒拍扁
片糖半片
蠔油三至四湯匙

製法:
1) 冬菇浸半小時
2) 去水,洗乾淨冬菇
3) 再浸24小時
4) 這次的水留用 (下稱菇水)
5) 冬菇去蒂,如果還有穢物,再洗一洗
6) 冬菇、菇水、薑、蔥與片糖放進一個較深的碟或盆,隔水蒸半小時 (即碟內盛著冬菇浸與菇水,碟下面的鑊/鍋內放的是普通自來水)。
7) 熄火,別打開蓋,一直焗至整個鍋及冬菇涼透 (最少要一句鐘)
8 ) 開蓋,去掉薑、蔥,菇水留用。
9) 燒熱鑊, 下油,爆香蒜頭,下冬菇、菇水、蠔油三至四湯匙,中火煮至水滾,轉小火,蓋上蓋,煮30分鐘。(轉小火約10分鐘後要試一試味,可再加蠔油,但要小心收水後會太濃味,畢竟你不是為了吃蠔油味才炆冬菇的) 如中途水太少, 可加點水
10) 上碟可加蔥花/芫茜裝飾
11) 如非即食,可蓋上蓋焗至整個鍋及冬菇涼透,上碟放雪櫃。食時加少許水及蠔油一湯匙煮熱即可
12) 炆好的冬菇也可用作炒燒肉、肥豬肉、排骨、節瓜 (節瓜切粗片,先泡油)等等。也可放冰箱(冰格),需要時取出幾隻解凍用。
