乾葱头 8 粒
黑胡椒、盐少许

Ingredients:(4 person portion)

Beef shin (or beef) 500 g
Garlic 2 heads
Ginger 6 slices
Shallot 8 large pieces
Black pepper and salt

 

做法:

  1. 将牛腱切成小块,汆水。
  2. 蒜头和乾葱头剥掉外皮。
  3. 将牛腱、蒜头、乾葱头、薑片等放进汤煲之内,注入清水直至覆盖所有材料。用大火煲滚,然後转至文火,煲大约1小时左右。
  4. 如水份已经大部分蒸发,可加入滚水,继续用文火煲1小时左右或直至牛腱够「腍身」为止。
  5. 加入适量黑胡椒及盐调味。

Method:

  1. Cut the beef shin into small chunks. Blanch in boiling water and drain.
  2. Remove the skin of the garlic and shallots.
  3. Put the beef chunks, garlic, shallots and ginger slices in a pot and fill up with cold water until all the ingredients are covered. Put to boil on high heat and once boiling, reduce to low heat and leave to boil for an hour or so.
  4. If the liquid has noticeably evaporated, add some boiling water into the pot and leave to boil in low heat for another hour or so, until the beef is tender enough.
  5. Add a dash of black pepper and salt to taste before serving.

烹饪心得:

  • 牛腱可以点酱油吃,如果太多则可放进雪柜,第二天做咖喱薯仔牛腱、或蕃茄薯仔牛腱,均非常美味。
  • 蒜头和乾葱的分量可随个人喜好,亦可加入其他配料,例如杞子或无花果。

Cooking tips

  • The beef shin can be served together with soya sauce. If there is left over, put it in the fridge and cook on the following day : both curry beef shin with potatoes or beef shin with tomatoes and potatoes are very tasty.
  • The amount of garlic and shallots can be adjusted according to personal preference. One can also add other ingredients as preferred, such as wolfberries or figs.

 

营养学角度分析:

  1. 一般而言,汤料的营养成分都不容易溶入汤中,所以饮汤时也要吃汤渣。
