啤酒和麥芽糖都是用麥芽發酵而成。製造麥芽多使用大麥,小麥。那用稻米,小米作原材料稱為谷芽。。谷芽麥芽陳腎湯是我的童年回憶。穀物浸泡水中,瀝乾讓其在潮濕幽暗環境中發芽3-6天。在發芽過程產生酶。酶再分解穀物中的蛋白質,澱粉質使其糖化,成為麥芽糖(過程跟米麴製造相似)。然後迅速地加熱乾燥成為麥芽產品。
麥芽再浸泡於水中,麥芽糖溶解產生的溶液為“醪液”,主要應用釀造啤酒、威士忌酒等,並製造飴糖(主要成份是麥芽糖)、麥乳精等食品。那麥芽糖又是乜東東呢?記得細路時用雙筷子捲着拉起。。企高都不能整斷,一絲絲愈拉愈長...哈哈!麥芽糖的製造是麥芽跟含澱粉質的原材料,即白米,大麥,糯米等產生糖化而得出的雙糖。麥芽糖是水溶性,甜度比蔗糖低1/2。
麥芽含澱粉酶、轉化糖酶、維生素B、脂肪、磷脂、糊精、麥芽糖、葡萄糖等。麥芽因含消化酶及維生素B,有助消化作用。有健脾,治食積不消及腹脹。麥芽糖功用有潤肺,止咳化痰,提氣。
材料: 雞翼,半個洋蔥,麥芽啤酒一枝或黑啤,麥芽膏或麥芽糖2湯匙,月桂葉,八角,薑片,鹽和白胡椒粉
Ingredients: chicken wings, half onion, stout/dark beer, maltose 2 tablespoon, bay leaf, star anise, ginger, salt and groud white pepper
左上: 略炒洋蔥及香料-> 右上: 細火,略煎雞翼,加入白胡椒粉,鹽1.5茶匙-> 左下: 注入啤酒(保留少許)-> 右下: 加入一湯匙麥芽糖
ULt: saute onion and spices-> UR: low heat, saute chicken with 1.5 tea spoon salt and some ground pepper-> LLt: pour beer(reserve a bit)-> LR: add 1 table spoon of maltose
左上: 蓋上,入預熱焗爐75度1小時15分鐘-> 右上: 取出雞翼-> 左下: 開大火收汁並加入剩下的啤酒-> 右下: 之後1湯匙麥芽膏
ULt: preheat oven, place iron pot inside at 75Degree Celsius for 1hr 15mins-> take out chicken wings-> LLt: on high heat, pour the remaining beer into the pot while thickening the sauce-> LR: then 1 tablespoon of maltose
大火煮到起泡泡,開始焦糖及剩餘少量汁,可試味再加鹽-> 熄火
Keep high heat, cook the sauce until thickened and caramelized, add little bit salt after taste-> off heat
把雞翼放回煲中與汁混合
Bring back chicken wings and mix well
慢煮使雞翼很滑。味道特別,有點鹵水感覺又帶點啤酒氣味,甜甜地又帶少少酸...不防一試丫,令你感覺清新呀!
The chicken wings are tender under slow cook. They are very good in taste and refreshing. There is mild beer flavor and it tastes sweet and a bit sour. Yummy!
Tips:
1. 我選擇2年的台灣古法提煉麥芽膏。很純厚。如果麥芽糖帶酸味,質素則一般。
2. 不入焗爐慢煮,雞翼可用浸熟的方法使其嫩滑。加入啤酒後略煲,之後放雞翼5-7分鐘熄火焗住在煲內半至一小時。取出收汁。
3. 每個焗爐有異,雞翼在入焗爐1小時後可查看熟成情況才延長15分鐘或更長。約9成熟便可。
Tips:
1. I chose Taiwanese 2 years maltose. The quality of maltose is not good if it tastes sour before cooking.
2. If not cooking in the oven at low temperature, just boil the chicken wings on the stove for 5 to 7 mins. Off heat then keep the wings in the pot for half to 1hour with lid on.
3. As every oven is different, check the doneness of the chicken wings after 1hour, then continue 15mins or more.
