傳統南瓜餅軟糯香甜,但多吃略嫌太膩,對於不嗜甜食的人,更無緣品味其清甜。南瓜餅除可用蓮蓉作餡料外,配鹹味的蝦膠和馬蹄粒同樣出色,能令整道菜變得鮮味清爽,但仍可啖到南瓜的甜味,是一道口感豐富的美食。
蝦膠馬蹄 鮮爽滋味
海景軒總廚梁輝雄師傅今次教大學烹調的南瓜肉蹄香,靈感來自甜品南瓜餅,為了更適合悶熱沒胃口的天時品嘗,才構思改配其他餡料。他曾經試過改用蓮藕粒,可惜蓮藕煮後會變得腍身,影響整道菜的口感。又試過用沙葛粒,雖然沙葛爽口,但味道太過清淡,給南瓜甜味搶盡風頭。最後發現馬蹄才是不二之選,只因馬蹄耐煮,烹調後仍能保持爽脆質感,其清甜的味道更是人吃人愛,與南瓜味道非常匹配。除了馬蹄,梁師傅加入蝦膠作餡料,令南瓜餅外層軟綿綿,內層則爽口彈牙兼備,而且有啖啖蝦鮮味,口感較甜的南瓜餅更勝一籌。
餡料準備好了,便將南瓜蒸熟,攪拌成綿滑南瓜汁,以便加進麵粉內添色、添味。南瓜頗難蒸腍,梁師傅建議先將已去皮的南瓜切小件才蒸,可以加快蒸煮速度。然後把南瓜汁,加進麵粉內搓成麵糰,謹記南瓜汁要逐少加入,過多或過少都會影響麵糰質感,最後可壓成餅皮,包入蝦膠馬蹄餡。為令賣相更吸引,他又在南瓜餅的其中一面,蘸上黑芝麻才落鑊炸,效果就像麵包糠一樣,可以令南瓜餅更乾身易炸,同時令其更香脆惹味。
