Chinese Fried Twisted Dough Stick,其实就是“油条”啦——典型的中国式早点。 记得以前在国内,冬寒料峭的清晨或热气蒸腾的夏日早上,卖早点的人将面团扔进路边支起的超大油锅里,几分钟之后,一盘热气腾腾的油条便端上了路边随便支起的简陋的小桌。就着一碗香喷喷的豆浆,从没觉得那样的日子有多么的幸福。以前在国内最喜欢去的,是新街口的永和豆浆。去那里吃,是因为那里的油条无与伦比。 好多年过去了,我猜想:今天的中国人民要想吃到这样的一顿早餐只会更容易吧!幸福的国内同胞哪里知道我们这些在穷乡僻壤的南半球混生活的人,要想吃根油条是多么难的一件事情。 所以今天,俺特骄傲地向您展示——这张照片里的油条和豆浆都是今天早上在自家“作坊”里生产出来的。豆浆倒是简单,爸妈好多年前曾从国内带过来的一个豆浆机。算不上常用,但偶尔想起时也弄弄。至于油条嘛,我是一辈子也没想过可以自己做的。 而那位将奢侈变为现实的厨师,就是俺家充满激情的老公。他对这个在家自制油条的主意已经酝酿已久,从昨晚就开始进行准备;今天早上起来,看他的神情,好似今天是他生命中最重要的一天似的。在案板上又是一阵揉弄面团,又是切割,又是粘贴…… 当油条从炸锅里捞出来放到盘子里时,我绝对不敢相信自己的眼睛——这真是自己家里做出来的油条吗?简直和外面卖的没有什么区别。咬一口,面有韧劲儿,中心空空膨起,略微有淡淡的一点碱味儿,咸淡适中。蘸着豆浆,热乎乎的,让我想起的,竟然是北京路边那既清闲安逸又忙碌的早晨。 在异国他乡享受久违了的家乡口味,真是人生最大的奢侈之一。
Australian’s very first Master Chef has been finalised last night. I suppose that to a lot of people, who are enthusiast about cooking and would not miss even single one episode of the show, last night’s show was very emotional.I only watch this program occasionally and to me, I actually like the “Iron Chef” better, [...]
We came back home last night, feeling so exhausted. There are so many loads of washing that need to be done, and unpacking, cleaning the hired boots, tidying up stuff and organising all the photos and video clips. I started to fall apart yesterday on the way back, although the mountain colour and landscape on [...]
Okay, I admitted that I pushed very hard to make us to go to the Central Café in Queanbeyan for the lunch. It was the first time visit for both myself and my husband, but the difference between my attitude and his was, I have been hearing a lot of positive things about this highly [...]
My home-made sticky rice dumplings just came out wonderfully this year, especially the pork belly meat stuffing one. It is really worth my every effort to make them and I am very proud of it. Though it took me almost the whole day, from soaking the rice, cutting, washing and boiling the leaves, marinading the [...]
Mom always suggests us to have some oats when it’s possible (I guess it’s probably because of the nutrition side of it). Personally I don’t mind having oats Porridge, but I hate having it with milk. One reason is because it always sticks on the bottom of sauce pan while cooking it, as well as [...]
