作者一向對甜食沒有太大的興趣,所以很少做甜品,但這個甜品卻是作者的最愛,每次吃後也很滿足及開心。然而,這個甜品亦很容易做,又免焗,做好後放在雪櫃12小時後就可以吃,分量可多少,多則可以用一個長形或正方形盤盛裝,少則可以用酒杯也很精緻吧。

Acutally, desserts is not my cup of tea indeed, so i’m rare to make dessert at home, however, tiramisu is the only one favourite dessert that I fall in love with it. Generally tiramisu is one of the easy cake that make at home, it’s no need to bake, just mix all the ingredients and fridge it for 12 hour, that’s so easy right? and you can either make in a large container or as little as just a wine glass also perfect for this dessert.

材料 (Ingredients):

 

意大利甜品專用軟芝士 (Mascapone Cheese) – 500g (for large container) or 250g (for 2 cups of wine glass)

 

雞蛋 (egg) – 2 pcs (large container) or 1 pcs (for 2 cups of wine glass)

 

意大利手指甜餅 (lady fingers biscuits) – 15 pcs (for large container) or 6-8 pcs (for 2 cups of glass and break into half)

4. 如果讀者唔想浪費蛋白,就可以做多一個步驟,把蛋白加少許鹽,打至蛋白企身,翻轉碗也不會掉下來就可以了
If you don’t want to waste the egg whites, you can do this steps, otherwise you can skip it : add very little salt in the egg whites and beat it until very firm like mousses

 

5. 把打好的蛋白加入芝士漿,伴勻
Add the firmed egg white into the cheese cream and fold it well

 

6. 準備一個盤,把黑咖啡倒入,加入糖及咖啡酒,攪勻
Prepare another small container, pour in expresso ,add sugar and Kahula liqueur and mix well

7. 把手指甜餅一個一個的輕輕沾滿咖啡,不要太多,不然甜點變得淋身就不好吃了
Dip the biscuits into coffee mixture, not too wet, just a little dipping

 

8. 然後把沾好的手指甜餅排放好入存放的盤或酒杯內
Put the dipped biscuits into your container or wine glass one by one in the bottom layer

 

9. 再倒入芝士漿,把漿平均地鋪好一層
Pour the cheese mixture on the top of the biscuits and spread it well over the container

 

10. 重複以上兩個步驟,一般三層就可以了
Repeat the above 2 steps again, generally will make 3 layers

 

11. 最後平均地打朱古力粉灑在芝士漿面
After complete all layers, dust the cocoa powder on the top

Posted in 壓力煲/高速煲 (Pressure Cooker)

壓力煲 (Pressure cooker)

對於壓力煲,小編又是新手,還是第一次接觸,因為從小到大,家裏沒有在家煮食的習慣,父母都不喜歡煮食,母親大人所煮的只是簡單餸菜,所以用的工具也很少;然而小編獨立後,卻發現自己喜歡煮食,希望可以學習不同的煮食方法,所以壓力煲對於小編來說是新玩意吧。

Actually I’m a newbie for using pressure cooker since my family not really love cooking at home, my mom just cooked simple dishes only, so not really need too much cookery, however, I discovered that I really love cooking after left my parents home and hope that can learn different method of cooking, so pressure cooker for me is a new toy.

 

雖然香港有很多不同牌子的壓力煲,但基於安全為上,小編會建議買德國牌子的壓力煲,最初也對用壓力煲的安全度有不安的心態,但用過後,不安心態卻消失了。 在香港,讀者在百貨公司所見的壓力煲,最少也要$3,xxx-$4,xxx一個,真的不便宜,為什麼會這麼貴呢?那又是因為香港代理商又要賺錢,百貨公司又要賺一筆,到了消費者已經要比多一倍錢了。 在現金的社會,網購這麼方便,用amazon是直接與廠商購買,又可以送到府上,為何要給別人賺錢呢?

Although so many brands also have pressure cooker product, however, as safety purpose, I suggested you to buy product that made in Germany.  Since i’m also concern about safety usage of pressure cooker at first time, but it’s out of my mind now.  On the other hand, you can easy to find pressure cooker in all department stores, unfortunately, the price is unacceptable, around HK$3,xxx-HK$4,xxx per piece.  Why so high price in Hong Kong? somemore, both agency and department stores have to earn money, therefore, consumers have to pay double of the product price, that’s why I suggested you to buy online since you deal with the manufacturer directly in amazon, and ship to you door to door, why not do so?

 

好了,對不起,說回壓力煲吧。 小編所買的是舊型號,現在沒有了,但還有高級的版本,讀者可以考慮一下 :

Well, sorry, talk back pressure cooker then.  Mind one is old version, it’s not available in market now, but I found one that a bit higher class, you can consider it :

Fissler 620-301-12-070/0 Vitavit Premium Set 2-teilig, 2,5 und 6 L mit einsatz

 

壓力煲的好處在於用短時間把食物用極高溫去破壞食物內的組織,從而把平時很難煮淋的肉類部份,只須三分一時間就可以煮好,例如 :牛腩 - 一般也要燜上2-3小時,但用壓力煲只是30-45分鐘就完成了。 亦有些人說用壓力煲雖然快速,可是味道不足夠,但小編不覺得唔入味吧。

The advantage of pressure cooker is just 1/3 of normal cooking time with high temperature to destroy the hard tissue of the meat, so it’s make easy to cook the meat until tender, i.e. Chinese beef brisket stew, normally require to cook around 2-3 hours, however, just cook 30-45 minutes for pressure cooker.  Some people may think that it’s not really tasty enough when cooking with pressure cooker, but I tried and I don’t think so.

 

之前在醬汁的一篇中說過鹵水汁,讀者也可以做一瓶,就可以做到很多不同的菜餚了。可是小編與愛人很少吃中菜,所以亦只試了鹵水牛筋及豬軟骨,最多就是做糖水吧,希望讀者可以與小編分享多些食譜,讓小編煮其他菜色。
As I mentioned in previous post about Chinese Marinade Sauce, I suggested you to make one which can cook many different dishes.  I and my beloved one not really love to eat Chinese cuisine, so we just tried beef tendon and pork softbone only, but we mostly cooked chinese desserts as well.
