俄羅斯羅宋湯 (Russian Borscht)

Posted on by 傑西

 

我估讀者會問，羅宋湯？有乜特別？作者為何會介紹？ 不是我們平時在餐廳所喝的羅宋湯嗎？ 好的。。。作者在這裏回答你們吧。

I think readers will ask, why Borscht? what’s the special about it? We are always having Borscht in restaurant, what’s wrong with it? so..I’m answering you here.

 

我們在餐廳所喝到的羅宋湯，除了蔬菜外，湯底其實是加蕃茄醬 (Ketchup) 加水而煮成的，有些好的餐廳會也會用上牛湯底，但也是加茄醬而已，所以我們在香港所認識的羅宋湯其實不是那回事。

Although we always enjoy Borscht in restaurant, except the veggies, what we have enjoyed in restaurant is only Ketchup and water as the stock base, but some restaurant will use beef stock base and also added with ketchup on it, actually the traditional Russian Borscht is not the same.

 

真正的羅宋湯是由俄羅斯傳到世界各地，但傳到亞洲，卻因為缺乏了羅宋湯內最主要的材料 – 紅菜頭，所以當時有餐廳把它轉一下，沒有紅菜頭，就加入大量番茄醬，把湯變為橙紅色，直到現在，很多餐廳也原用這個方法。

The Traditional Borscht from Russian or Ukrainian and spread around the world, unfortunately, when it’s spread to Asia, it’s because lack of beetroot at that time, so Chinese chef twisted the recipe, using Ketchup instead of beetroot to form the red colour, so you normally can see the Borscht not in red colour, it’s in orange red colour instead, and now still using Ketchup in Asia for their recipe.

 

真正的羅宋湯是鮮紅色的，那鮮紅色來自紅菜頭，湯底一般用牛肉湯底，但現在有些也用雞湯底的。 但作者的版本，兩者也用，這令到湯味的層次更加豐富。

So, the traditional Borscht in red colour comes from beetroot, normally using beef stock, but some are using chicken stock now, and my version is combination stock, use both the get more flavour on it.

 

材料 (Ingredients)：

 

 

紅菜頭 (Beetroot) – 1個 (1 whole)

紅蘿蔔 (Carrots) – 2個 (2 pcs)

洋蔥 (Onion)  – 2個 (2 pcs)

椰菜 (White cabbage)  – 半個 (half)

蕃茄 (tomato) – 2個 (2 large)

薯仔 (potato)  – 2個 (2 large)

牛骨 (beef bone) – 半磅 (1/2 lbs)

雞殻 (chicken carcass) – 1個 (1 whole)

牛肉 (beef chunks) – 幾粒 (few)

牛油 (Butter) – 1湯匙 (1 tablespoon)

蒜頭 (Garlic) – 1瓣 (1 pc)

香葉 (bay leaves) – 3片 (3 pcs)

香料 (spices) – 隨自己喜愛 (personal preferences) – i.e. dill, parsley

鹽 (salt) – 適量 (few)

黑胡椒 (black pepper) – 適量 (few)

檸檬 (Lemon) – 半個 (half)

 

 

做法 (Method) ：

 

1. 先煮湯底 ： 準備一個湯鍋，把牛骨、雞殼、洋蔥1個、紅蘿蔔1條、西芹及水，放入鍋內，大火煮滾後，轉小火煮1小時 (今次作者效法了零廚餘餐廳的做法，只用蔬菜的廚餘來煮湯底)
Cook the stock first : prepare a stock pot, put beef bones, chicken carcass, onion, carrots and celery into the pot, covered it with water, boiled it and then turn to small fire, cook it for 1 hour (this time, I just tried to use all veggies waste to cook my stock that referred to zero waste restaurant)

 

2. 把所有蔬菜切成小粒或絲狀
Cut all the veggies into small cubes and/or slice it into thin slices

 

3. 準備另一個鍋，加入油，先加入洋蔥及蒜頭，炒至軟身後，再加入紅蘿蔔及薯仔再炒，再加入紅菜頭、番茄及椰菜, 加入少量水及檸檬汁炒勻，慢火煮十分鐘
Prepare another pot, add oil, put the onion and garlic in, stir it until soft, then add carrot and potato, stir well; add beetroots, tomato and cabbage, stir again, add some water and lemon juice on it and cook in small heat for 10 minutes.

 

4. 另外用牛油把牛肉粒煎香
Prepare a sauce pan, heat up the butter, then add beef cubes and sear it.

 

5. 然後把煮好的湯底用隔篩過慮出湯汁在剛炒好的菜鍋內，再加入牛肉粒，煮滾後，轉小火再煮多45分鐘，煮好後加入檸檬汁就完成。
Use a sieve to shift the stock the veggies pot, then add beef cubes, boil it and turn to small fire, cook for another 45 minutes, then add some lemon juice and finished

 

 

 

溫馨提示 ：有些人喜歡在湯上加入酸忌廉，隨個人喜歡吧。

Tips :  Some people love to put sour cream on, it’s personal preferences.

[原創食譜 (Original Recipe)」蝦籽柚皮 – 低溫慢煮版 (Braised Pomelo Skin in Shrimp Roes – Sous Vide version)

Posted on by 傑西

 

各位，中秋節快樂啊！ 作者剛剛才可以暫時安定下來，但還有很多濕碎事未解決，已經急不及代想分享新食譜了。 但由於未太適應新地方關係，對不起，這次的相片沒有太仔細地影下來，請大家原諒，要辛苦大家多看文字了。 下次有機會再做，一定會加插回遺留了的相片。

Happy Mid-Autumn Fest.! I just moved to Malaysia and just moving in a new house, although still have many little matters not yet solve, but wanna share this recipe for you.  Also, since this is a new place, sorry that I have missed some photos for this recipe, I will add in later when I will make it next time.

 

蝦籽柚皮這個古老菜式，相信很多人也吃過，也知道當中很多功夫吧。 今次作者用舊酒新瓶的方法，用低溫慢煮棒來煮，希望更容易入味及容易做到入口即化的效果。

This a a very old traditional Cantonese dish, so the procedure is very complicated and really take times to do it, but I’m using sous vide method to braising it to make it more tasty and hope to make the same texture as old method.

 

很多大廚說一定要用沙田柚來做，而馬來西亞的籮柚更加不適合做，因為柚皮太薄，但作者現在住在馬來西亞，當然只會用怡保籮柚吧，讀者可以買來沙田柚來做的。

Although many chefs said that not using Malaysia’s Pomelo, because it is not thick enough, but since I’m in Malaysia right now, so I’m still using it, you can still using Chinese pomelo to do it.

 

先說前期準備功夫  (Preparation of pomelo skin)：

 

1. 柚皮先切去綠色的外皮

Peel off the most outer skin first

 

2. 用滾水先汆水十分鐘後，立即放在冰水中浸泡

Put the pomelo skin into a boiling water and let it cook for 10 minutes, then soak in a iced water

 

3. 然後每3個小時啤水一次及換新水，重復做3天，把柚皮的苦澀味除去

Then squeeze out all the water carefully and replace a new water bath every 3 hours, repeat this step for 3 days to get rid of bitter taste.

 

 

然後煮上湯 (Cook the stock) :

5. 慢火煮2小時後，先取出材料，只留下上湯

Let it cook for 2 hours in a small fire, then take all the ingredients out first

 

6. 預熱慢煮棒，60度，16小時

Preheat your sous vide machine in 60 degree Celsius, and will cook for 16 hours

 

7. 再把柚皮作最後一次啤水，然後把乾水好的柚皮放入湯鍋內，讓柚皮吸收上湯大約10分鐘

Do the last squeeze of pomelo skin, put all the pomelo skin into the stock, and let it absorb the stock for 10 minutes

 

8. 小心地把帶有上湯的柚皮放入真空袋內，再加入少許上湯，就可以進行低溫慢煮

Put the absorbed pomelo skin into vacuum bag gently, and add a little bit extra stock on it, then start cooking

 

9. 慢煮好後，小心地倒出來

After fished cooking, pour out all carefully

 

10. 蝦籽用平底鍋不加油乾鍋炒至出香味，備用

Use a sauce pan in a small fire, toast the shrimp roes until smell fragrance

Boil the excess stock, add some oyster sauce and soy sauce, then add the potato starch water little by little until cook in a thick sauce, then pour at the top of the pomelo skins

 

12. 最後把蝦籽灑在上面就完成了。
