紅兔大展之辣炒年糕

話說上次做的年糕湯受大家好評之後,因為看了"我結"裡面CNBlue的鄭先生煮了一鍋辣炒年糕的關係,想說把剩下的年糕拿來做辣炒年糕,結果也很好吃呢!!!


材料(4人份):
  1. CJ泡菜 1口
  2. 麻油一小匙
  3. 水 500 c.c.
  4. 青蔥 一根
  5. 韓式辣椒醬 約一大匙
  6. SPAM and/or sausage 量一個人喜歡
  7. 白芝麻
  8. 韓式年糕一包
做法:
  1. 把青蔥洗乾淨再切段
  2. 泡菜加麻油在鍋裡熱一下,炒到香以後把青蔥加入稍微拌炒一下
  3. 把水加入後開大火煮到滾,再把年糕放入
  4. 加入韓式辣椒醬,煮到開後可嘗味,再依個人喜好調辣度
  5. 依個人喜好加入 SPAM 或是 sausage,煮到入味就可關火
  6. 乘盤後灑上白芝麻就大功告成啦!!
SPAM是鄭先生的variation,而且嚐味的表姊和姊姊都說這樣有加分,如果不喜歡SPAM也可以用ham替代....大家可以試看看囉!!

說實在我很喜歡吃大蒜....
像台灣最常見的吃法一種就是: 香腸配上一顆的生大蒜
生吃大蒜真的很嗆 我超愛的! 就像一次吃很多wasabi一樣 嗆到流淚我才開心..

今天回家,不太想吃火鍋...
God knows how hot Taiwan is in November!
想想家裡所剩的食材只剩罐頭tuna 和 SPAM (我的必備食材!) 還有上次為了煮湯剩下半顆的洋蔥.... 不如涼拌一下 試試看好不好吃。
沒想到.... 就變成了一道 很適合喝配酒的下酒菜!!

作法超簡單....
tuna 罐頭把多餘的油倒掉,才不會太濕。
SPAM切約0.7cm的方塊丁... 不要太多,因為SPAM比較鹹,太多的話會overpower整道小菜...
再來就是重頭戲的洋蔥丁了!!
當然洋蔥要生的嗆的好才好吃,洋蔥丁不可以切太細,這樣口感才會好
最後,再加一點麻油、黑胡椒和parsely
就完成了!!!

原本我還有煮碗麵,但是為了拍這盤小菜,麵糊掉....超難吃!
最後,我單獨把這碗嗑掉,整個超級想要來杯白酒的....
應該會很搭!

After Work Salad

Well, before I start writing about the "salad", lemme just explain why I started writing at ALL.

I work for a multi-national American IT company in Taiwan. The thing I enjoy everyday is the fact that I get at least three chances of encountering with good food. I try to make sure every encounter is worthwhile, but this doesn't always happen. And whenever I have a "bad encounter", I get cranky. So yeah, I love food, and have been in love with it since Food Network Canada taught me how to cook my first plate of pasta. Not surprisingly, just watching TV isn't going to make me a good cook. So this blog is going to be my journal on becoming a real good cook. (fingers crossed)

So it's summer now in Taiwan: hot and humid, and I have lost my appetite. Knowing that if I don't eat something for dinner, my stomach'd end up growling and starting to burn like hell. I picked up a box of salad at the 7-11 near my office.

So this is the salad I bought... 12 veggies: romaine lettuce, green cabbage, tomato, red cabbage, corn, yellow bell pepper, carrot, and what else?

I am never a big fan of raw veggies, actually, and I especially hate pre-packaged salad dressing, so of course, I decided to take things into my own hands. And a little SPAM always makes everything all that better! So i cut up some and added in the only cheese I can find in my fridge, Emmental.

Like I said, I don't like pre-packaged salad dressing, especially when it's a Thousand Island. I donno, the image of a factory somewhere in the Peasant State, churning up the sauce day after day, just doesn't sit right with me. So i figured, well, Emmental's got a nutty flavour to it, and SPAM is salty enough, so a little bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil w/ a pinch of pepper should do the trick (I really donno what I was thinking).



Anyhow, the salad wasn't all that bad, at least I didn't lose my appetite after I'd already lost it. Emmental didn't really fit in though, it wasn't the taste, it was more because of its creamy texture. If this was to be a better dish, maybe the SPAM strips should've been lightly sauteed and the dressing........ hrmmmmmm........ haven't really figured out a better option that won't turn this salad into a Caesar. Any better idea?

Just on a side note, I really love Emmental Cheese. I used to take two pieces of toast and just sandwich Emmental, lettuce and ham in between. Cut it in quarters, and Voila! a simple snack for studying the finals.
