藜麥做法part2- 干貝紅藜麥沙拉Scallop, Onion and Quinoa Salad

DSC09998藜麥大致上有兩種顏色,上次煮過白色藜麥後,這次來試試看紅色的藜麥。吃起來的口感是差不多的,但是混和煮之後,顏色非常漂亮,讓人食慾大開。

提供大家另外一種煮藜麥的作法,加入雞湯和藜麥一起煮,煮出來的藜麥更香更有味道。不要看藜麥細細小小,非常有飽足感,這幾天我自己都吃上癮了~~

上次跟大家分享過藜麥作法,好多熱心的網友也提供了他們自家吃法,有加入飯一起煮的,也有混合其他穀物一起煮的做法,可以發揮自己的創意:)

Directions:
1. Cook half cup red quinoa and half cup white quinoa with 1.5 cup chicken stock in rice cooker.
2. After quinoa is cooked, add finely chopped tomatoes, minced purple onions, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and salt to taste.
3. Top with pan-seared scallops, garnish with coriander leaves, corns and olives. The dish is ready to be served. 干貝藜麥沙拉

黃金炸蝦 Golden Fried Prawns

DSC09909大家可能看到要自己炸東西都敬而遠之,一來耗油,二來覺得危險。但只要能夠充分掌握油溫以其炸東西的順序,炸物並不是很困難的料理。

跟大家分享一下油溫掌控的方法,開中小火,當竹筷子插進油裡後,看到小泡泡從竹筷裡冒出時,就代表油溫差不多了。

另外,我炸東西的原則,通常取一個小湯鍋,然後思考一下想做的菜,第一次乾淨的油炸豬肉或者雞肉都沒關係,第二次的再炸海鮮類,這樣的使用順序比較能延長油的使用期限,不過考量到健康問題,我通常炸兩次的油就不用了,供大家參考。

附上炸蝦前準備小影片,讓你的炸蝦更漂亮:)

番茄奶油龍蝦義大利麵Lobster Spaghetti

連假後的第一個上班日,祝大家有愉快的心情,雙手奉上龍蝦義大利麵的食譜,希望大家"視"吃愉快:)

DSC01167番茄奶油醬煮起來是粉紅色的,加上水煮的新鮮龍蝦肉以及義大利麵,視覺和味覺雙重享受~上桌前再撒些帕馬森起司,餐廳的風味也可以簡單在家裡呈現。如果龍蝦不好買的話,用蝦子肉代替也可以~

水煮龍蝦的作法再跟大家複習一下,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。煮龍蝦的湯汁可以酌量加一些進去番茄奶油醬裡,讓整道菜的風味更一致。因為我自己也加了一些煮義大利麵的湯進去,所以沒有另外加鹽調味。

附上我使用的天使麵包裝,其實是在超市隨便拿的,因為先生喜歡吃細麵,所以選擇天使麵,其實義大利麵的寬細都沒關係,都可以使用!

 

Directions:

  1. Cook and drain spaghetti. Set aside for later use.
  2. Boil lobster in water until cooked. Remove the meat from lobster and cut into small pieces.
  3. Cook 10 small tomatoes in cast iron pan until soft, then mash the tomatoes with spatula. Next, add 160 c.c. cream, 80 c.c. white wine and 80 c.c. lobster cooking water.
  4. Bring the sauce to boil, add some spaghetti cooking water if needed. Lastly, toss in lobster meat and spaghetti. The dish is ready to be served.

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…
