香烤龍蝦尾 baked lobster tails

DSC01132即使在美國,上餐廳吃龍蝦仍是一件稍嫌昂貴的事情,在紐約的時候最喜歡去Chelsea Market吃現煮龍蝦,少了小費的負擔,能吃的開心滿足。不過還是自己煮最划算了,前天準備在家裡看NBA第六戰,煮了四隻龍蝦尾,兩隻水煮兩隻用烤的,濃濃的海味在嘴裡化不去,若有白酒,更是絕佳組合。

烤箱做法非常簡單,用牙刷把龍蝦殼刷洗後,用廚房剪刀將背殼剪開,用手將殼扒開露出肉後,用湯匙淋上融化的奶油、少許檸檬汁、少許白胡椒鹽以及少許鹽在肉上,送進烤箱用攝氏兩百度烤12分鐘,簡單完成餐廳級美味。

水煮作法更容易,一鍋水燒開後(水量只要能淹過龍蝦即可),加入一匙鹽以及一匙米酒,將兩隻龍蝦尾放進去,蓋上鍋蓋水煮八分鐘,取出用刀或者廚房簡單剖成兩半就可以了,吃的時候可以加一些融化的奶油以及檸檬汁,小心不要好吃到咬到舌頭囉….

It is very simple to bake lobster in the oven. Clean lobster shell with a toothbrush, then cut the shell down the center of the back with scissors, and pry the shell away to show the meat. Drizzle the meat with melt butter, some lemon juice, pinch of salt and pepper. Bake the lobster at 200°c for 12 minutes. This simple yet delicious dish is just like the one you get in restaurant.

Boiling lobster is a much easier way to prepare lobster. Bring a big pot of water to boil (the water should be sufficient to fully cover the lobster), add one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of rice wine to the water. Place two lobster tails into the boiling water, cover the pot and cook for 8 minutes. Take out the tails and spilt them in half. Drizzle some melt butter and lemon juice when served. Don’t bite your tongue when eating this lip-smacking dish…

越南煎牛小排米粉 Vietnamese Vermicelli with grilled beef

DSC01087

這次的煎牛小排米粉,一般餐廳裡都是用碳烤的,但是家庭料理用煎的比較快,鑄鐵鍋或者一般平底鍋都可以。另外,我是買一整塊牛排切好一片片再醃,牛排如果太軟或者刀不夠力時,可以先將牛排放在冷凍庫一小時,再取出切片,冰硬一點點會比較好切。

當然配飯也超棒的,因此如果越南米粉不好買,配飯也很match!因為牛肉已經很有味道,我就沒有再加醬,如果想要更道地些,以下提供醬料調配比例
(一匙泰式甜辣醬,一匙魚露,半匙糖以及少許辣椒末,完成!)

directions:

1. Boil Vietnamese vermicelli until cooked, then drain the vermicelli into a colander.
2. Marinate beef short ribs (in advance). Mix together one teaspoon lemon juice, some lemon rinds, two teaspoons fish sauce, one teaspoon sugar, one teaspoon minced garlics, one teaspoon soy sauce. Slice the beef short ribs and marinate with the mixture.
3. Cook the meat in a cast iron pan or frying pan. Top vermicelli with beef, thinly sliced carrots and thinly sliced cucumbers, then sprinkle with crushed peanuts or nuts. 牛小排米粉
