香煎金不換豬扒 Pan fried pork chops with Indonesia basil

羅勒的品種非常多。最常見常用有歐洲的sweet basil, 葉形大片較濶。常作拌沙律意粉, 煮青醬。味道較淡, 不會太刺激。東南亞, 越南, 中國的有Thai basil, Lemon basil/Indonesia basil。葉形較尖長, 氣味芳香偏濃。用作炒海鮮, 拌湯粉。一般稱金不換。台灣人稱之為九層塔, 外形尖長葉細, 氣味很濃。煮湯, 炒蛋或菜式拌料。

煮西式餸菜多使用sweet basil, 在超市有售, 新鮮不便宜, 可選用乾葉。 家常便飯, 泰菜越菜則使用金不換或九層塔。相對價錢便一㸃。在泰國印尼小店有售。所有羅勒葉的特性是容易花(bruise), 除影響外觀, 也不耐存放。把剩餘浸水至出根, 便可種植了。
