IMG_6346.JPG

This is Cantonese Congee, Cantonese like their congee to cook until you can’t see the grain any more, usually takes hours. I found it online how to cook congee fast but still delicious. And I tried it this morning and it turned out good.  The secret is to freeze the rice in the freezer over night.

Short grain rice 1 cup

Thin sliced pork 1/2 cup

Preserved egg 2

Ginger 2-3 slices(thin strips)

water 8 cups

Wash the rice and soak in water for 30 minutes, then put the rice in the freezer overnight. Marinate the pork with salt, cooking wine, white pepper and 1 tbsp of corn starch and mix well.

The next day, add the rice and ginger to the water and cook until the whole thing is boiling, then continue to cook with medium heat for 10-15 minutes.

Add preserved egg (cut into small pieces) and thin sliced pork to the congee and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and add some salt and white pepper to the taste. You can garnish it with some peanuts and scallion.

Tips:

This is the basic way of cooking it, if you want it to be fancier, you can use broth instead of water. You can adjust the water amount according to your own preferences. Cooking time is also adjustable, some people do not want the congee to be too mushy.

這是粵式粥,廣東人喜歡他們的粥煮到你再也看不到飯粒了爲止,通常需要幾個小時。我在網上看到如何煮粥快但仍然美味。今天早上我試了試結果還不錯。 秘密是把大米冷凍在冰箱裡過夜。

短粒米 1 杯

薄豬肉片 1/2 杯

皮蛋2個

生薑 2-3 片(切絲)

水 8 杯

洗米后在水中浸泡30分鐘,然後將大米放入冰箱的冷凍過夜。用鹽、白酒、白胡椒粉和1湯匙玉米澱粉醃制豬肉攪拌均勻。

第二天將米和生薑加入水中煮沸騰,然後繼續用中火煮10-15分鐘。

將皮蛋(切成小塊)和薄片豬肉加入粥中繼續煮2分鐘。把火關掉,加入一些鹽和白胡椒調味道, 可以加點花生碎和葱。

 

這是烹飪它的基本方法, 如果你想它更好吃, 你可以用高湯代替水。您可以根據自己的喜好調整水量。烹飪時間也是可調的有些人不希望粥太軟爛。

IMG_6164

Preserved Chinese mustard leaves 75g

Skate fish wing 2 lbs

Light soy sauce 2 tbsps

Vegetarian oyster sauce 1 tbsp

Sugar 1.5 tsps

Cooking wine 1 tbsp

Chicken bouillon 1/3 tsp

Ginger 4 slices

Scallion 1

Cut Skate fish wing into big chunks, blanch the fish in boiling water for 30 seconds.

Add 1tbsp oil to a skillet, heat it up a little then add white part of scallion, mustard leaves and ginger to the oil and saute for a minute.

Add 2/3 cup water and cooking wine to the skillet, then the fish. (don’t stir too hard because this fish is easily break apart). Cook with high heat and a lid on for 2 minutes, then turn the heat to medium low and continue to cook for about 9 minutes.

Add the chicken bouillon and green part of scallion to the fish.

Notes:

This fish’s meat is really tender and firm and best of all it is not fishy at all; its bones/cartilage are big and brittle, very safe to eat. The price of it is unbelievably good, I had once got it for $0.99 per pound. Make sure you ask the people work in the fish market to peel the skin off for you.

糟菜 75g

2 磅

生抽 2 湯匙

素蠔油 1 湯匙

糖 1.5 茶匙

料酒 1 茶匙

雞粉 1/3 茶匙

生薑 4 片

葱 1條

把魚切成大塊,在沸水中煮30秒。

加入1 湯匙油到一個個鍋裏,加熱一點,然後加入蔥白,糟菜和薑到油裏炒一分鐘。

加入2/3杯水和料酒到鍋裏然後加入魚。(小心攪拌,因為這種魚很容易碎)。用大火加蓋煮2分鐘,然後將火調低,繼續煮約9分鐘。

在魚中加入雞肉和蔥綠部分。

注意事項:

這種魚的肉很嫩,一點也不腥;它的軟骨又大又脆,吃起來很安全。它的價格又難以置信的便宜,我曾經買過每磅0.99美元。最好在買的時候叫他們幫忙去皮,那個皮很難剝。
