紫蓝色梦幻蝶豆花茶 Butterfly Pea Flower Tea | 部落格四周年庆&抽奖活动 4th Blog Anniversary & Giveaway

转眼又到了部落格周年庆,今年已经是第四年了。往年的周年庆都以可食用的花卉为主题,今年也不例外,今年我选了蝶豆花(蓝花)为主题。自从做了蓝花龙眼燕菜后,就被那天然的蓝色给吸引住,之后看了网上的一些资料,原来蝶豆花汁遇酸就会变成紫色,只需在蝶豆花汁里加入少许柠檬汁就会变成梦幻紫色,实验了几次后终于成功了,可以做到紫蓝色梦幻蝶豆花茶。


之前曾提到家里有一盆蝶豆花,没想到上了蓝花龙眼燕菜的帖子不久后就开始开花了,一朵朵蓝色的花朵真的好迷人。一般看到的蝶豆花都是单瓣的,不过我却没想到家里的那盆蝶豆花原来是重瓣蝶豆,网上的资料提到这种重瓣蝶豆是园艺栽培种,现在蝶豆花已经开花了,希望很快会有豆荚。最近几天家里那盆蝶豆花每天都会开不少花,每次看到的都是重瓣的蝶豆花,不过偶然发现有一两朵单瓣的蝶豆花,真的很特别。单瓣的蝶豆长得像蝴蝶一样,而重瓣的蝶豆像玫瑰,无论是单瓣或重瓣的蝶豆花都有各自的美态。


早前姐姐给了我很多单瓣蝶豆花的豆荚及种子,不过数量太多了,我也不需要用到这么多种子,所以想趁着部落格周年庆,将这些单瓣蝶豆花的豆荚送给大家,详情请往下看。献上紫蓝色梦幻蝶豆花茶给大家,感谢大家的支持,感谢这一路上都有你们的陪伴!






Happy Blog Anniversary!



























单瓣蝶豆花


重瓣蝶豆花


这些照片是以手机拍的,拍出来的蝶豆花看起来颜色偏紫。
其实种蝶豆花并不需要有很大的地方,放在中型花盆里栽种也行。

最近我和小宝贝种了一盆单瓣蝶豆花,由小宝贝负责撒种子,

香橙迷迭香三文鱼 Orange-Rosemary Glazed Salmon

蜜汁三文鱼后,昨天我又再尝试煮新口味的三文鱼,香橙迷迭香三文鱼。以香橙和迷迭香煮的酱汁吃起来酸酸甜甜的,蛮开胃的,味道也和三文鱼很搭配。昨天的晚餐除了香橙迷迭香三文鱼外,我还准备了炒菠菜及糙米饭。最近每个星期至少煮一次糙米饭,晚餐时的蔬菜也多煮些,希望家人可以吃得健康点。我家里最喜欢吃糙米饭的就是小宝贝了,每次都吵着我要煮糙米饭,可是我不敢煮这么多次,怕家婆接受不到。我家小宝贝一看到三文鱼就很开心了,可惜她却不喜欢这个新煮法,吃晚餐时看到我把额外的酱汁淋在鱼上就一直告诉我说不要酱汁,过后我只好拨开外面的那层,取里面的鱼肉给她。和之前的蜜汁三文鱼相比,小宝贝会比较喜欢之前的蜜汁三文鱼,加上当天我煮了藜麦饭,她一口接一口地吃个不停。看来我还得花些功夫,多煮些不同的食物让她尝试和接受。






























香橙迷迭香三文鱼 

(食谱参考Cooking Classy,作少许更改)

材料:
橄榄油 2汤匙
三文鱼 3块,厚约1寸(静置在室温下10分钟)
盐和现磨黑胡椒 适量
蒜头 2瓣(切碎)
新鲜迷迭香2 1/2茶匙(切碎)
鸡汤 1/4杯 + 1汤匙
橙皮茸 1/2茶匙
新鲜橙汁 2/3杯
柠檬汁 1汤匙
蜂蜜 3汤匙
粟粉 2 1/2茶匙

做法:
1. 以中高火烧热平底不沾锅。把盐和黑胡椒涂抹在三文鱼的两面。把橄榄油加入锅中烧热,然后加入三文鱼,煎至两面都呈金黄色,每面煎大约2分钟,盛出备用。

2. 在同一个平底不沾锅里加入蒜头和迷迭香,炒大约20秒,然后加入1/4杯鸡汤煨煮,直到大部份鸡汤蒸发了。拌入橙皮茸、橙汁、柠檬汁和蜂蜜。在一个小碗里加入1汤匙的鸡汤及粟粉,搅拌至均匀。将粟粉水倒入锅里,加入适量的盐和胡椒调味,煮至酱汁滚后继续小火煨煮1分钟,期间要不断搅拌。将三文鱼放回平地锅里用汤匙勺香橙迷迭香酱汁淋在三文鱼上

3. 将三文鱼盛碟,以香橙片及迷迭香装饰,伴与炒菠菜及糙米饭一起享用。


备注:
*烹煮的时间视鱼的厚度而定,请自行调整。

蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱 Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

记得几年前老公介绍了我吃卡疆炸鸡沙拉,这炸鸡沙拉令我一试难忘,过后每次到那间餐厅都会点这道沙拉。卡疆炸鸡沙拉的沙拉酱是以蜂蜜芥末调成的,味道酸酸甜甜的,与炸鸡沙拉一起吃非常搭配及清新,而且不会油腻。上星期的其中一个晚上,我准备了卡疆炸鸡沙拉配搭蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱当二人晚餐。虽然自制的卡疆炸鸡沙拉和餐厅的味道有点不同,不过老公说味道不错,不一定要和餐厅的做的一模一样,听到他那么说真的令我很开心,因为平常如果问他食物味道如何,他的答案永远都是一样,只有“OK”。


从网上找到蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱的做法都很不同,有些有加美乃滋,有些加入植物油,而另一些则加入酸奶油。最后我参考了一些有加入美乃滋的食谱,不过材料的份量方面我就自己调整,慢慢调至适合自己的口味。这蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱味道酸酸甜甜的,除了当沙拉酱外也适合当炸鸡块的蘸酱。































蜂蜜芥末沙拉酱

材料:
美乃滋 4汤匙
狄戎芥末酱 2汤匙
蜂蜜 2汤匙
柠檬汁 1汤匙

做法:
1. 
在一个中碗里混合所有材料,放入冰箱冷藏30分钟后即可食用。


份量:2人份




Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

Ingredients:
4 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice

Method:
1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.


Serving: 2

海底椰马蹄竹蔗糖水 Sea Coconut, Water Chestnut and Bamboo Cane Drinks

上星期日趁小宝贝不用上课,我们一家就带着小宝贝去巴刹参观,没想到小宝贝可以六点多就起身和我们一起去。其实家里的鸡肉、鱼肉等食材的供应都还足够到下个星期,所以去巴刹只是纯碎让小宝贝见识不一样的东西。反正不需要买晚餐的食材,我就买些海底椰、马蹄和竹蔗来煮糖水。之前曾经煮过海底椰马蹄糖水竹蔗马蹄水,不过一次用三种材料海底椰、马蹄和竹蔗来煮就没有试过。除了这三种材料,我还再加入红萝卜、蜜枣和石蜂糖,煮出来的糖水非常清甜,冷热饮用皆适合。现在的天气热得令人受不了,最好是喝些糖水来解热消暑。

年糕卷 Spring Roll Nian Gao (空气炸锅版 / Air Fryer Version)

早前回娘家时妈妈给了我些年糕,我收在冰箱都几个星期了,直到现在才得空用这些年糕做糕点。我很喜欢吃炸番薯芋头年糕,不过传统的方式是裹上面糊用来油炸,虽然好吃,不过却很油腻。之前bookmark了Peng's Kitchen的年糕卷食谱,一看到照片时就被那一深一浅的紫色给吸引着。年糕卷是以春卷皮包着淡紫色的芋头和深紫色的紫薯,而最中间那一层就是年糕。我将包好的年糕卷涂上一层椰子油才放入用空气炸锅里炸,炸好的年糕卷非常香,而且不会油腻。年糕卷的外皮炸金黄香脆,芋头泥和紫薯泥的内馅香甜软绵,而年糕则香滑软Q,吃起来的口感丰富。这年糕卷可以准备多一些收入冰箱里冷冻,想吃时拿出来解冻,然后放入空气炸锅里炸就可以了,非常方便。

蜜汁鸡 Honey Chicken

早前找食谱时发现了The Art of Cooking的蜜汁鸡,这蜜汁鸡看起来很美味,我马上就将这食谱bookmark起来,列为必煮的食谱之一。果然这食谱没让我失望,鸡块外脆内软多汁,加上酸酸甜甜的蜜汁和芝麻,令人吃了一块接一块,停步不了口。不过这蜜汁鸡必须趁热吃,因为一旦冷了外皮就开始软,美味程度会大大下降。
