🇭🇰 香港小食之夜|小食餐一啲都唔求其 🤣

放工返到屋企,得兩個鐘左右要完成成餐,
其實真係幾趕時間。😂

原本只係諗住整個香港小食餐,
但諗真啲,每一樣背後都好多功夫。

一返到屋企,第一件事先開好 pancake 麵糊,放入雪櫃 rest。
跟住準備 雞湯底,一陣用嚟煮碗仔翅。

煲緊湯嘅同時,就開始自己打蝦膠,準備煎釀三寶。
又因為想食雲吞,連雲吞皮都自己整埋 🤣
搓麵團、碌薄、切皮,再逐隻包好。

材料準備得七七八八,就開始煲碗仔翅。
趁住煲緊,又要打好忌廉、切香蕉,準備做 香蕉忌廉 pancake 嘅餡。🍌

去到最後就真係全面開工:
煲碗仔翅、煎 pancake、整煎釀三寶、包同炸雲吞……

所以話係「小食餐」,
其實一啲都唔係小工程。🤣
由 pancake 麵糊、雞湯、蝦膠、雲吞皮,到忌廉餡,幾乎樣樣都由零開始。

不過當全部上枱,見到一枱熟悉嘅香港味道,
就覺得趕得嚟都值得。❤️

有時最治癒嘅,唔一定係大餐。
放工返屋企,用兩個幾鐘整返一枱熟悉嘅香港味道,已經好滿足。

講起香港小食,你最掛住嘅又係邊一樣?🇭🇰

🇭🇰 Hong Kong Snack Night | Small bites, big effort 🤣

I got home from work with just a little over two hours to get everything on the table, so the timing was definitely tight. 😂

It might look like a simple Hong Kong snack night, but every dish actually came with quite a few steps.

First, I made the pancake batter and left it to rest in the fridge.
Then I started on the chicken broth, ready for the bowl of faux shark fin soup.

While the broth was simmering, I made the prawn paste from scratch for the stuffed three treasures.
And because I also wanted wontons, I ended up making the wonton wrappers from scratch too 🤣 — mixing the dough, rolling it thin, cutting the wrappers and wrapping each one.

Once most of the prep was done, I could finally start cooking the faux shark fin soup.
While that was bubbling away, I whipped the cream and sliced the bananas for the banana cream pancakes. 🍌

我只係想整個3Q餅……
點解最後連紅豆餡都自己炒?🤣

3Q餅生產線 EP.2|自家炒紅豆餡

上集為咗3Q餅自己整肉鬆,
今集輪到紅豆餡。

紅豆慢慢煮軟,再加糖炒走多餘水分,
由一粒粒紅豆,慢慢變成濃稠細滑嘅餡。

自己炒,唔單止係「由零開始」。
甜度、濕度、質感,都可以自己控制。
而我最鍾意嘅,就係呢啲慢慢做、慢慢調整嘅過程。

以為肉鬆+紅豆餡已經可以開工?

仲未🤣
下一條生產線:麻糬。

一個3Q餅,原來背後係一條又一條嘅小小生產線。
但可能就係因為每一樣都親手做,最後嗰一口先更加有意思。❤️

I only wanted to make a 3Q pastry…
so how did I end up making the red bean paste from scratch too? 🤣

3Q Pastry Production Line EP.2 | Homemade Red Bean Paste

Last time: homemade pork floss.
This time: red bean paste.

Slow-cooked beans, sugar, and plenty of stirring until the filling becomes thick and smooth.

Making it from scratch means I can control the sweetness, moisture and texture — all those little details that shape the final bite.

Think pork floss + red bean paste means we’re ready?

Not yet. 🤣
Next production line: mochi.

One 3Q pastry, and somehow it has turned into one little production line after another.

But perhaps that’s exactly what makes the final bite so special. ❤️

有時候,一餐飯唔需要好複雜。

打開雪櫃,見到有茄子、豆、蘑菇同洋蔥,就想起日式浸菜。
將蔬菜簡單煮熟,再趁暖放進高湯裡慢慢浸泡,原本好平常的材料,就變成一碟清爽又舒服的小菜。

煮好之後,為甚麼還要浸?

因為烹調停止了,味道的交換還在繼續。
蔬菜在放涼的過程中慢慢吸收高湯的鹹香和鮮味,所以這道菜不用很重的調味,也可以很有層次。

今次我沒有加醋。
想保留的是比較柔和的日式高湯味——清甜、鹹香,又帶一點點味醂的甜。

🥣 日式高湯浸汁
高湯 Dashi|200 ml
醬油 Soy sauce|2 tbsp
味醂 Mirin|2 tbsp
糖 Sugar|½–1 tsp

蔬菜其實很隨意。
除了茄子、豆、蘑菇和洋蔥,也可以用南瓜、翠玉瓜、甜椒、秋葵、蘆筍、蓮藕、白蘿蔔、西蘭花或椰菜花。

不同蔬菜,只要按質地調整烹調時間就可以。
硬身的煮耐一點,容易變軟的就輕輕煮熟——然後,把剩下的工作交給時間。🤍

我很喜歡這種料理。

不一定要很多材料,也不需要複雜技巧。
了解食材一點點,就可以將雪櫃裡幾樣平常的蔬菜,好好地變成今晚餐桌上的一道菜。

Sometimes, simple cooking is all about understanding when to stop cooking — and when to let time do the work.

Cook the vegetables gently, soak them in a light dashi broth while warm, and let the flavours slowly settle in as they cool.

Simple ingredients. A little understanding.
And something comforting for the table.

原來燻蹄係咁整㗎?👀
一隻豬手,由拆骨開始,最後竟然可以變成一片片晶瑩、爽口又彈牙嘅燻蹄。

第一次睇製作過程,可能最意外嘅係——
佢唔係啡色滷水,而係用白滷慢慢煮。

拆骨、調味、白滷慢煮,再趁暖捲實包好。
冷藏定型之後先剪繩、切薄片。

切開嗰一下真係最治癒 🤍
見到皮同肉緊緊捲埋一齊,之前每一步慢工都值得。

最後加青瓜,再配一碟酸酸香香嘅蒜蓉醋汁——
呢個就係我記憶中嘅港式燻蹄。🥢

而我最鍾意嘅其實係:
一道傳統菜式,背後原來都有好多 food science。

點解冇加魚膠粉,雪凍之後都可以自己定型?
下一條 WHY|Food Science 再拆俾你睇。🧪

Save低先,下次想整燻蹄就搵得返。

Wait… this is how Hong Kong-style chilled pork trotter is made? 👀

One whole pork trotter, carefully deboned and transformed into these beautifully thin, springy slices.

And the part that might surprise you most?
It isn’t braised in a dark soy-based master stock — it’s gently cooked in a clear aromatic brine.

Debone. Season. Gently poach.
Then roll it tightly while warm, wrap it well and chill until completely set.

Only after it has set do we remove the string and slice it thinly.

That first cut is probably my favourite moment 🤍
Seeing those neat layers of skin and meat makes all the preparation worth it.

Serve it chilled with cucumber and a punchy garlic vinegar dipping sauce — and you have a classic Hong Kong-style chilled pork trotter. 🥢

But there’s something else I love about this dish…

There’s a lot of food science hiding inside this traditional recipe.

No added gelatine — so how does the whole roll hold together after chilling? 🤔
That’s coming next in my WHY | Food Science Reel. 🧪

Save this for later if you’d love to try making it yourself.
