潮州香蔥蜆仔肉 Chiu Chau baby clams with scallion


勁愛潮州打冷。鹵水大墨魚, 鹵鵝, 大眼雞和凍蟹。潮州蜆仔肉跟潮州粥是必選菜式。要在家中烹調蜆仔, 會選擇冬天才購買。因海產類易受感染, 而且冬天蜆肉較肥美。蠔以沙井出產多, 亦特別肥。當中金蠔和蠔䜴很有名。入冬至新年前是當造。論蜆, 蜆仔, 獅蚶以潮州產量最多亦較好。炒蜆仔肉用韮菜, 鹹菜, 韮菜花很普遍。不喜歡以上, 可跟食譜只用蔥頭, 蔥白部份。一樣惹味。


要食得安心, 必須把蜆仔肉好好清潔。雖然蜆仔肉本身已熟(方便去殻), 買回家一定要再煮透才安全食用。

材料:
1. 潮州蜆仔肉 (在淡水魚檔有售) 1包
2. 半碗蔥白, 另半碗青蔥分開 全部切幼粒
3. 新鮮紫天椒 3隻 (小辣, 可再加減)
4. 紫蔥或乾蔥頭 4粒切幼
5. 薑 磨蓉 半湯匙
6. 蠔油 1湯匙
7. 糖 1.5茶匙
8. 紹興酒 半瓶蓋
9. 白胡椒粉 適量
10. 鹽 少量


買回家後先聞一聞有没有臭味(有, 必須棄掉)。 去除雜質, 如海草, 蜆殼, 蝦仔蟹仔等等


放入籂中, 下面加盆。長開水喉, 一手不停攪動蜆仔, 另一手把篩子上下搖晃,  讓蜆中的沙泥濾出, 倒走盆中泥水。


直至水清晰為止。要2-30次, 視乎蜆肉清潔情度。隔走水份, 放在篩中15分鐘濾走多餘水份


用細火白鑊烘乾蜆仔肉至没有水份流出。此時可試一粒以了解蜆肉的鹹度。以加減之後糖份。


轉中大火, 落油爆香薑蓉, 蔥白和已切開的辣椒, 灑少許鹽


加入蜆仔肉, 糖, 白胡椒粉, 炒數分鐘。之後酒, 立即蓋上, 30秒打開蓋, 炒均加入蠔油, 攪拌後熄火。加入剩下青蔥部份, 用餘温炒勻。


一㸃沙也沒有。準備功夫多了但吃得放心。拌潮州粥食簡直絶配, 用蔥代替韮菜也非常惹味。
