滷水食物如鵝片、鴨舌、雞腎,都是佐酒佳品,想為其加添清爽口感,不妨參考今天教大家炮製的青瓜五香牛「月展」,這道冷盤以青瓜片包裹滷水牛「月展」同吃,鹹香味道頓時添了幾分清新。

鹽醃瓜片 更易處理
爽脆的青瓜除了味道吸引,處理簡單亦是受歡迎的原因,最便捷的品嘗方法是預先將之冷藏,然後當水果般吃,味道清甜透心涼,用來做沙律、三文治餡料亦佳。中式做法則喜歡將青瓜炒熟,配以肉片提味。梁輝雄師傅說:「生青瓜配熟滷水牛「月展」,味道一濃一淡,同樣是絕配。別小覷那裹着牛「月展」的青瓜薄片,它已經足夠中和滷水的鹹味,惹味得來又帶清爽口感。」為了更容易包裹牛「月展」,青瓜切片後最好以鹽略醃,可令其稍為軟身。
當然滷水牛「月展」也要烹調得法,整道菜才會味美。首先要準備滷水汁,一般滷水材料包括八角、草果、甘草、桂皮、丁香等,超市有滷水材料包可供選購,買回家以清水煮開,再自行加入紹興酒、冰糖、豉油調味即可,或購買現成的滷水汁,不用自行調味,對於入廚新手來說更加方便。把滷水材料煮至合味後,即可以慢火把牛「月展」滷至入味熟透,由於需要長時間滷煮,故滷水汁份量不能太少。有人為省時,喜歡把牛「月展」先煮熟才放進滷水汁,但這製法的味道遠不及由生滷至熟。最後建議大家在滷水汁內加適量紅辣椒同煮,因為辣味更能帶出滷水材料的芳香。
