酸辣汤 · 坏南瓜拿铁

来自留美坐家。就是美国处处中餐馆里都有的Hot & Sour Soup啦。下面是原食谱。我做的时候省去了猪肉一环(可恶的苏尚!),没有笋却拿了点藕代替。效果很不错,健康开胃,值得推荐。

【原料】 猪肉(后腿肉,或里脊肉),豆腐,香菇,黑木耳,胡萝卜,笋
【配料】 高汤或清水,老抽,醋,白胡椒粉,食用油,葱,淀粉,鸡蛋
【做法】
1. 香菇,木耳泡发后,洗净切丝;胡萝卜,笋切丝;豆腐漓干水分后切丝;鸡蛋打散;
2. 猪肉切丝后,放淀粉,料酒稍抓腌制15分钟;
3. 锅中放油烧热后,下肉丝炒熟捞出备用;
4. 原锅中再加少许油烧热后,下香菇,黑木耳,笋,胡萝卜煸炒片刻;
5. 下豆腐丝,高汤(或水),煮滚后小火焖2分钟,然后以水淀粉勾芡;
6. 再次煮滚后,把蛋液徐徐倒入;待凝结之后,立即下肉丝,醋,白胡椒粉,老抽,鸡精,轻轻搅匀;
7. 煮滚后撒少许葱花即可

今天天气上好。走在路上望成片的青绿的草坪,就象《千与千寻》一家三口刚入异境时那片空阔撩人的日光风景。后来在校园里的星巴克看书,玻璃墙外又是大片绿草。咖啡馆正放德彪西,就想起《关于莉莉周的一切》那些镜头。唯一不完美的是Pumpkin Spiced Latte,我喝过最恶心的咖啡之一(号称加了Espresso,真的吗?)。

:P ——第一个星期就这样过去啦。

什锦蔬菜汤 · 非洲茶

来自文怡。清爽微甜,“具有润肠、顺气、排毒的效果”。 我以为习惯浓汤的苏尚不会偏好这一款,没想到他连声赞美。:)
以下是原食谱,我们家暂无芹菜,用的是芹菜籽(在美国当一种调味品卖)。然后是加了一点印度的岩盐(black salt,实际是粉色的;我觉得这种盐有些煮鸡蛋黄的香味)。

原料:干香菇6个 胡萝卜1根 鲜玉米1根 芹菜1根 清水1500毫升 盐1/2茶匙(3克)

做法:
1)将干香菇放入40度左右的温水中浸泡约30分钟,泡软后洗净备用。
2)把胡萝卜去皮切成片,芹菜摘去叶子不要,将芹菜梗洗净切成4厘米长的段,玉米去皮去须,洗净后切大块。
3)将香菇,玉米,芹菜和胡萝卜放入锅中,倒入清水,大火煮开后,转为中火继续煮20分钟,煮好后加入盐调味即可食用。

今天买了一种非洲的红茶:African Rooibos Red Tea,Twinings牌子的。这种茶天然地不含有咖啡因,颜色鲜红(好像祈门红茶),据说还含天然抗氧化物。Anyway,味道是喜欢的。苏尚的评价是有微微的野气(ruthlessness)。
