以前,我总是喜欢嫩豆腐,看见Costco这款firm的豆腐时,没动过心,脑子就觉得硬硬的豆腐不好吃。五月,女儿回家的一天,兴致勃勃地跟我说起她在学校附近的餐馆吃的一款豆腐,她依稀记得那道豆腐的英文(拼音), 我俩就上网查啊查,才知道那叫“锅塌豆腐”,一道山东菜。看了看网上的做法,好像觉得嫩豆腐做不了,这才挖掘了Costco这款有机硬豆腐(硬度4,不算硬)。
上图,上做法(简易版的锅塌豆腐)。
Costco的有机豆腐一大盒$5.59, 里面有四小盒。
1. 将豆腐切片,水沥干。这么大一块,可以切成7片。Cut the tofu to 6-7 slices evenly, and let the water drain.
2. 水沥干后,洒点细盐和胡椒粉(这一步可以省略)。Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on both sides. ( This step can be skipped.)
3. 碗里打散一个鸡蛋,放入少量面粉或芡粉,加很少量盐,搅匀, 成糊状。Scramble an egg in a bowl and mix well with a little salt, a few spoonful of flour or sweet potato powder.
4. 将切好的豆腐放入盛有蛋液的碗了,两边都挂上糊糊。Dip the tofu in the bowl to wrap both sides with the egg mixture.
5.锅子热后,放油(我用的是葡萄籽油), 油热后,将豆腐放进去两边煎,稍稍泛黄即可。Heat the oil in a wok, and stir fry the tofu until it turns brownish.
5. 将煎好的豆腐重新放入锅中,如果还有蛋液剩下,全部倒入豆腐上,然后放点肉丝, 如果想更鲜的话,放入虾仁(我是买有头的虾,去头,剥壳,在虾背上切一刀,去肠泥)翻两下,加酱油,盐, 一点点糖(这个视个人喜欢), 菇类 (增加鲜度) 或大白菜的菜心,然后加水 (加水之前一定要等所有剩余的蛋液凝固之后,否则卖相不好)。如果怕虾煮久了变老,可以稍微晚点放。 煮上15到20分钟,味道进去后,加葱,最后起锅。
Add the fried tofu back to the wok at the very end once stir-frying is almost done. If there is any remaining egg mixture left, pull onto the tofu. Then add some sliced pork meat, shrimps, soysauce, a little salt, and mushroom (or cabbage heart) to the wok. Add 2-3 cups of water, depending on how much soup you want. Cook another 15-20 minutes. Add green onions, and a dish of tender and delicious tofu shall be ready.
裹了蛋后的豆腐,虽然是老豆腐,还是比较滑嫩,既有蛋的香味,又有有机豆腐的鲜味。天冷了,吃一锅热腾腾的豆腐煲,暖到脚心,哈哈。
We often have the same tofu from Costco and make mapo tofu with it. That's almost the only Chinese dish I cook these days ;-)
