青蒜炒大章魚腳
季節一到,市場上常常會出現一些奇奇怪怪的食材。其實也不能說是奇怪,應該說比較少見,所以會多怪。以往這種大章魚腳只能在像基隆廟口那種夜市吃到,不然就是要到觀光魚市才有得買,不過我們家附近的超市有時候會鋪貨,剛好看到就給他帶回家試做看看。
這種大章魚其實味道比較腥一點,所以如果單純汆燙來吃可能會讓人食不下嚥,因此,比較重口味的燒法有其必要性。烹調過程中加入大量的香辛料如蒜苗、辣椒、薑絲及醬油加酸菜一起燒,最後再加入少許白醋提味其實就會很好吃了。

When the season arrives, bizarre ingredients often appear in the market. Well, not exactly bizarre, but rather uncommon, which makes them seem strange. In the past, you could only eat this kind of giant octopus tentacle at night markets like Keelung Miaokou or buy it at tourist fish markets. However, the supermarket near our house occasionally stocks it. I happened to see it, so I brought it home to try cooking it.
This giant octopus actually has a stronger fishy smell, so simply blanching it might be hard to swallow. Therefore, a heavier flavored cooking method is necessary. Adding a large amount of spices like garlic sprouts, chili peppers, shredded ginger, soy sauce, and pickled mustard greens during the cooking process, and finally adding a little white vinegar to enhance the flavor, will actually make it very delicious.
準備材料 (Ingredients)
🛒 準備材料
- 大章魚腳切片 (Sliced Giant Octopus Tentacle): 約 200g
- 蒜苗 (Garlic Sprouts / Leeks): 1 根
- 薑絲 (Shredded Ginger): 少許
- 辣椒片 (Chili Slices): 少許
- 酸菜 (Pickled Mustard Greens): 1/2 碗
- 味醂 (Mirin): 2 大匙
- 醬油 (Soy Sauce): 2 大匙
- 白醋 (White Vinegar): 2 大匙
- 現磨白胡椒 (Ground White Pepper): 少許
作法步驟 (Instructions)
-
爆香薑絲:起油鍋,先將薑絲下鍋爆香。
(Heat a pan with oil, and sauté the shredded ginger until fragrant.)
-
拌炒章魚:加入大章魚片拌炒。
(Add the sliced giant octopus and stir-fry.)
-
加入辛香料:將蒜苗片、辣椒片下鍋拌炒。
(Add the sliced garlic sprouts and chili slices into the pan and stir-fry.) -
調味與煨煮:加入酸菜絲續炒,然後加入醬油及味醂炒勻之後,灑上一點白胡椒粉,起鍋之前淋上白醋,稍微煨煮 3 分鐘之後即可上桌。
(Add the shredded pickled mustard greens and continue to stir-fry. Then add soy sauce and mirin, mixing well. Sprinkle some white pepper. Right before plating, drizzle with white vinegar and let it simmer for about 3 minutes, then it's ready to serve.)
成果與心得分享 (Conclusion)
吃起來酸酸甜甜,帶點酸菜及蒜苗香味的感覺。雖然章魚的口感會比較偏韌,但是因為是切薄片,所以反而有另一種充滿嚼勁的感受。同樣的配方也可以應用在其他類似食材,如花枝或小卷,一樣好吃喔。

It tastes sweet and sour, with the aroma of pickled mustard greens and garlic sprouts. Although the texture of the octopus is a bit tough, because it's sliced thinly, it actually provides a wonderfully chewy sensation. This same recipe can also be applied to similar ingredients like cuttlefish or small squid, and it will be just as delicious!

懶人輕鬆做-花枝炒意麵
來到台南,除了有名的鱔魚意麵之外,我想花枝意麵的地位
緊追在後的美味。只是在台南這邊稱做"花枝"的東西,比較常
看到的應該是中卷或小卷,我們一班印象中叫做墨魚的花枝反
而不常看到,這是我這幾年在台南活動的心得。拿來炒花枝或
鱔魚的意麵,因為早期為了保存方便是先有炸過去除水分,要
吃之前先用水煮過再料理,其實有感覺點像我們吃的泡麵。
因為麵身先炸過,所以這種意麵吃起來有一股很特殊的香味,我
想吃過的都知道我說的是什麼?之前因為遠在菲律賓的小冰箱堂
叔跟我說他想吃台南的意麵,於是利用回台南的機會就請小冰箱
外婆去幫我買了幾大包。一大包有10片麵,售價50元,平均一片
麵5元,也算是便宜囉。這些麵帶回家除了部分帶過去國外吃,
家裡也留下幾片當戰備糧。之前去台中港閒晃有買到不錯的小
卷,在沒有鱔魚的情況之下,心想改用小卷來做花枝意麵也不
錯,於是這一道就生出來了。
