黑豆豉炒蟹(本文發表於野趣生活家雜誌第110期食在好時光)
螃蟹跟豆豉搭配,我想一般人的反應應該都會是:那能吃嗎?
其實這樣料理不但能吃,還很好吃說。不管活蟹還是手工黑豆豉醬都是最天然的食材,新鮮就是最好的調味料。只是處理活紅蟳時要小心,因為這種熱帶蟹比較兇猛,別被螃蟹夾到手喔!
紅蟳這種熱帶蟹一定要先殺再下鍋,不然很有可能煮完螃蟹也斷手斷腳了,因為他們有一種斷腳求生的生理機制的關係。處理好的蟹肉先下油鍋高溫油炸,把甜度先鎖起來,之後再加料快炒,料理起來相當方便唷。

Combining crab with black bean sauce might make people wonder: "Is that edible?" Actually, not only is it edible, but it's also incredibly delicious! Fresh live crabs and handmade black bean sauce are the most natural ingredients—freshness is the best seasoning.
Just be careful when handling live mud crabs, as these tropical crabs are quite aggressive. Don't let them pinch your hands! Mud crabs must be killed before cooking; otherwise, they might drop their legs during cooking due to a physiological survival mechanism (autotomy). The cleaned crab pieces are deep-fried at a high temperature first to lock in the sweetness, then stir-fried with seasonings. It's quite convenient to cook!

黑豆豉炒苦瓜
苦瓜清涼退火,我想這是眾所皆知的事情。只是喔,由於特殊風味「苦」,許多人在餐桌上都「自動」把它跳過,高三之前的冰箱也是這樣的。我還記得小的時候,家裡常常會出現苦瓜料理,不管是炒苦瓜、滷苦瓜還有苦瓜小魚湯都是家人的最愛,每每餐桌上出現這些,我都恨懷疑我是不是我媽生的?@@
後來敢吃苦瓜是高中的時候無意間喝了一杯很好喝的果汁,其中就有加入苦瓜。其實到那時候我才明白,我不是不敢吃苦瓜,心理因素占了比較大的原因。那次之後,這個苦瓜的「苦」對我就不再造成任何威脅了,黑辣,我轉性了!XD
隨著台灣農業越來越進步,新品種的苦瓜也一直在市面上出現。這天是到市場閒晃時發現之前行腳節目介紹過的「蘋果苦瓜」,基於好奇心就帶了一顆回家。聽人家說蘋果苦瓜很適合做沙拉,因為不像一般苦瓜苦味那麼豐富。本來是想做沙拉的,結果後來因為趕著出國就把處理好的苦瓜肉放在冰箱裡,直到一周後我回來發現苦瓜大致上依然完好,除去有點爛的部分,心想就拿來紅燒看看吧!

It is a well-known fact that bitter gourd is cooling and relieves internal heat. However, due to its unique bitter flavor, many people "automatically" skip it at the dining table. I was exactly like that until my senior year of high school. I remember my family loved bitter gourd dishes—whether stir-fried, braised, or in soup. Every time these dishes appeared, I seriously doubted if I was my mother's biological child! @@
I finally dared to eat it after accidentally drinking a delicious juice in high school that contained bitter gourd. I realized my fear was mostly psychological. Since then, the "bitterness" no longer threatened me. Recently, I found an "Apple Bitter Gourd" at the market. It's said to be less bitter and great for salads. I originally planned to make a salad but had to travel abroad. A week later, it was still mostly intact in the fridge, so I decided to braise it!
準備材料 (Ingredients)
🛒 準備材料
- 白玉苦瓜 (蘋果苦瓜) (Apple Bitter Gourd): 1 條
- 丁香小魚乾 (Dried Anchovies): 1 小把
- 黑豆豉 (Black Fermented Beans): 1 匙
- 醬油 (Soy Sauce): 1 匙
- 辣椒片 (Chili Slices): 少許
作法步驟 (Instructions)
-
爆香配料:小魚乾泡過水後下鍋爆香,接著加入黑豆豉拌炒。
(Briefly soak the dried anchovies in water, then sauté them in a pan until fragrant. Add the black fermented beans and stir-fry.) -
下鍋悶煮:放入切好的苦瓜片拌炒後,加入半杯水煮開。
(Add the sliced bitter gourd and stir-fry. Pour in half a cup of water and bring it to a boil.) -
收汁起鍋:煮到汁收乾之後,放入辣椒片,即可盛盤上桌。
(Cook until the sauce is reduced. Add the chili slices, mix well, and it's ready to be plated and served.)
成果與心得分享 (Conclusion)
因為蘋果苦瓜本身就不會很苦,這道菜吃起來還滿下飯的唷!

Because the Apple Bitter Gourd itself isn't very bitter, this dish is incredibly appetizing and goes perfectly with a bowl of steamed rice!
