[原創食譜 Original Recipe] 越南扎肉 – 低溫慢煮版 (Homemade Vietnamese Ham – Sous Vide version)

首先對不起大家,這個工具應該是在香港時介紹,可是要突然搬回馬來西亞而擱置。

First, sorry for last sharing about this tool, cos suddenly move to Malaysia, so I’ve stopped to make this.

有了這個容器,而讀者又了解清楚這類乳化肉的成品,就可以有很多食品做出來,例如 : 上海餚肉,火腿、午餐肉等,也可以自家製,再不需要吃現成的火腿片或罐頭午餐肉了。

When you have this ham maker, and after you more understand about emulsified sausage, you can make lots of meat loaf, i.e. ham, spam, meat loaf etc., no more packed ham and spam.

小型壓肉容器連溫度計 (Ham maker with thermometer)

首先第一個分享做的是越南扎肉,相信讀者應該對扎肉不陌生吧,一定在越南餐廳食過,扎肉在越南有很多食法,用來配麵食、夾法包,又或是做春卷也可以。

First to share to make vietnamese ham.  I think many people well known what is vietnamese ham, you must tried it in any vietnamese restaurants; there’re many ways to enjoy this, i.e. sandwiches, noodles or vietnamese spring roll.

扎肉是外國的大型熟香腸 (Mortadella/bologna)的變奏版,大家也是乳化肉做成的, 只是用料比較簡單,只是用上豬肉及調味料,沒有其他額外的材料。

Vietnamese mortadella is the same as mortadella/bologna, both are emulsified sausage, but vietnamese one is more simple, just use pork and seasoning, without other ingredients.

傳統做越肉扎肉是用焦葉包著打好的肉,蒸熟後放涼就可以享用。 但作者這個做法卻是用了外國的Mortadella的做法,以低溫慢煮的方法控溫來做,大家可以試吓吧。

For traditional way to make this, wrap the ham with banana leaves then steam it in a wok, then let it cool down and cut into slices.  However, I’m trying to use the method that same as mortadella/bologna, you can try it too.

2. 豬肉切成小粒,放入攪伴機,再放入蒜頭,第一次打成蓉,不能打得太久,大約2分鐘就可以了

Cut the pork into small cubes, put it into food processor and also put garlic in as well, blend it only 2 minutes becomes little mince pork, don’t blend it too long, the pork will becomes heat.

5. 第二日,準預慢煮器,預設溫度為80°C

Preheat the sous vide cooker on 80°C in the next day

6. 溫度到逹後,放入容器,慢煮3小時,當中需要觀察容器溫度計,看看容器內是否多於70°C, 否則就要加溫吧。

When the temperature reached, put the container and start cooking for 3 hours, make sure the internal temperature must be reach at least 70°C while cooking, otherwise rise up your sous vide cooker temperature.

7. 慢煮好後,把整個容器取出放涼,然後再放入雪櫃一晚,翌日就可以切片享用了。

[原創食譜 Original Recipe] 越式雞肝醬 – 低溫慢煮版 (Homemade Vietnamese Chicken liver pâté – Sous vide version)

越南雞肝醬源自於法國雞肝醬,但卻沒有法國雞肝醬那麼濃味,比較清淡,但帶亞洲風味,主要也是用來搽在越式三文治 (Bahn Mi) 來吃的。

Vietnamese Chicken liver pate is a twist of French chicken liver pate, it’s not using herbs to make pate, it’s using vietnamese fish sauce and chinese spices, so the flavour is lighter with chinese taste.

作者今次所做的方法,是結合了兩者的做法,找出一個中傭的質感及味道。用了低溫慢煮的方法,可以保存耐久一點。以越南的做法,一星期內要吃完吧。

低溫慢煮豬仔脾配蘋果醬汁 (Apple-Braised Pork Shank – Sous vide method)

 

本以為這個寫好了的食譜不能出版,因為作者從馬來西亞回來後,在島內的超市沒有了豬仔脾,幸好前兩天返貨,這個食譜才得以出版。作者不清楚馬來西亞有沒有這種食材,所以本打算在離港前再看看,沒有這食材的話,就刪除這個食譜。

This recipe I have written before travel to Malaysia, however, when I back to Hong Kong, I can’t find any stock at supermarket in the island, I’m so disappointed, I wanna delete this recipe too.  Luckily, it have been restocked again these 2 days, so I can, finally, publish this recipe now.

 

最近作者所住的島內唯一超市發現新產品 – 豬仔脾,價錢又平,作者興奮到不得已,買回來後,用低溫慢煮做了一道菜式,簡單地配上薯蓉及烤西蘭花,已經係一道高級菜式了。在這篇中,作者只分享豬仔脾及醬汁的做法,其他簡單的配菜,我想不用再分享了。

Recently, I’m really happy that I’ve found a new product in the supermarket that I’m living, so I bought it back and cooked it using sous vide, served it with mashed potato and roasted broccoli.  Here, in this recipe, I will just only share the pork shank and sauce cooking.

 

我們做這個醬汁,需要大量蘋果汁,但作者不建議買來現成的,因為加工過,有其他化學物質,那麼是很不健康的,所以我們先來做個蘋果汁,讀者可以用慢磨機,這比較方便,如果用攪拌機,就得好像作者一樣,先過濾果渣,我們只需要蘋果汁。

For the apple sauce, we need apple juice, but I’m not recommend you to buy packed one since it is so many substitutes, better make fresh apple juice by your own.  If you have  juicer machine, it’s more convenient, because we just need the juice only; but if only have a blender, please use sieve to sift the juice out.

 

 

材料  (Ingredients):

 

豬仔脾 (Pork Shank) – 4隻

 

蒜頭 (Garlic)  – 4瓣

 

蘋果汁 (Apple Juice) – 400ml

 

蘋果醋 /紅酒醋/白酒醋 (Apple cider vinegar/Red Wine vinegar/White) – 200ml

 

芥末醬 (Dijon Mustard) – 150g

 

原糖 (Cane sugar) – 100g

 

鹽 (salt)

 

油 (Oil)

 

黑胡椒 (Black pepper)

 

新鮮百里香 (Fresh Thyme) – 8支 (無新鮮可用乾的 – If you don’t have fresh, dried one also OK)

 

 

做法 (Method) :

 

1. 預熱慢煮器到70度
Preheat your sous vide cooker to 70 degree Celsius

 

2. 豬仔脾先用鹽及黑胡椒調味
Seasoning pork shank with salt and pepper

 

3. 準備平底鍋,開大火,下油,把豬仔脾煎四邊至金黃色,盛起,備用
Prepare a sauce pan, add some oil, and sear the pork shanks until brown, then remove it and set aside

 

4. 先把蘋果打成蘋果汁
Blend your apple into apple juice

 

5. 把蘋果蓉隔開,只用蘋果汁 (如果讀者用慢磨榨汁機,這步驟就可以省卻)
Use a sieve to sift out the apple pulp, remain the apple juice only (If you are using pure juicer, you can skip this step)

 

6. 同一個鍋,加入蒜頭、蘋果醋、芥末醬及糖,用中火煮至醬汁收成杰醬,放涼一會
Use the same pan, add garlic, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard and cane sugar and cook it under medium fire until becomes a thick sauce even glaze.  Let it cool down a bit

 

7. 準備真空袋,把豬仔脾,醬汁及百里香放入袋內並進行真空封密,然後放入慢煮器,進入24小時慢煮
Prepare a sous vide bag, put in pork shanks, sauce and thyme (If you are using dried one, better seasoning it first before put into the bag), then let it start cooking for 24 hours

 

8. 翌日取出後,準備小鍋,先倒出醬汁,把醬汁用中火再煮回杰醬
Next day, prepare a small pot, pour out the sauce after cooked, then cook the sauce again until thicken

 

9. 豬仔脾上碟後,把醬汁淋上就完成。
Served the pork shank and glaze the thick sauce in, finished.

溫馨小貼士 : 這個醬汁,亦可作為燒烤醬,作者試過用來烤豬肋骨,相比用BBQ醬無咁膩,酸酸甜甜好胃很多。
Tips : This sauce also can be replaced as BBQ sauce, it’s more healthy and more delicious.

IMG_7390

 

擔擔麵本源於四川,是一種伴麵,但傳到南方後卻變了湯麵版,而香港大部份擔擔麵也是湯麵版,所以作者的認知也只是這個版本。 前兩天愛人懷念在食店的擔擔麵,作者就做一個由花生醬開始以至湯底及麵條也自家製作,雖然不可避過,但也盡量少用現成醬料去製作。

做這款麵不算難及複雜,只是材料比較多及要分幾部份去做,但如果讀者有一直追蹤作者的文章,那就知道有些部份是作者一向做難好及存放,所以比較容易由頭開始做起吧。

p.s. 如果用之前小編所介紹的手提攪拌器的話,就不需要這麼麻煩的步驟了,只要把所有材料放在煲或碗內,用攪拌器的Whisk這個配件攪拌就可以了。
If you are using bamix handheld mixer as mentioned in earlier post, you can save your steps, just put all the ingredients into the beater jug, use whisk blend, mix it all together and finish.
