涼粉 第一種做法 : 去大賣場買一包綠豆粉,以1比6的比例加水放在火上煮,一定要不停的攪拌,至沸騰。放涼後切片入盤,加入蒜末,醋即可。 詳細做法: 1、將剩下的五杯水倒入鍋中燒沸後,把調勻的澱粉慢慢地倒入沸水鍋中,邊倒邊攪動。倒完澱粉後改小火慢慢煮,並邊煮邊攪動。 2、將鍋中粉漿煮至呈完全變透明並伴有小泡泡翻騰。 3、起鍋倒入方形器皿中,並置於冷水中浸涼、凝固,或放入冰箱快速冷凝。 . 4、吃時將涼粉倒扣在菜板上切成條或絲。 第二種做法 : 涼粉要用綠豆制的澱粉為原料。 先將綠豆澱粉用水化開攪勻,鍋內盛水燒開,待將要開時將化勻的綠豆澱粉倒入,邊倒邊攪,攪均勻後,盛入大瓷盤中晾涼,放入涼水浸泡,即成涼粉。 吃時用刨絲器(一種最新刨涼粉的工具,現在有很新的電動刨切機,如圖,買一台很適合家庭廚房使用)沿著凝結的涼粉刨出條,放入碗內,澆上好醬油、醋、蒜泥和胡蘿蔔絲、芝麻醬、辣椒油拌和,這種涼粉叫刮條。還有用刀切成小長條塊的,也是澆上面的佐料食用。 Source: http://food.tank.tw/article/%E9%9B%9C%E8%B2%A8%E4%BA%94%E9%87%91/coolfans.htm   麻油豆腐 小葱麻油拌豆腐 最最简单的一道可口菜,基本不耗时,还非常有营养。     总共需时 5 分钟 已经有1 个厨友收藏了这个菜谱。   准备材料 份量: 3 内脂豆腐 1盒(约500克) 小车麻油(芝麻油) 2勺 香葱 2根 盐 半勺 … Continue reading
