清甜滋味椰青雞火鍋
轉眼間已經來到年尾,這時候工作量往往遞增,周末放假實在需要好好放鬆一下!踏入立冬,是時候順應氣候變化,吃吃火鍋,與家人朋友好好聚一聚!近年不少餐廳都有售賣椰青雞火鍋湯底,吃起來味道清甜可口。椰香雞甜,其實材料和做法簡單,在家都能輕鬆做到。椰青性寒,正好減輕雞和火鍋的溫熱屬性。由於火鍋本身屬熱性食物,椰青雞與一般清湯火鍋一樣,整體屬性為微溫,加上沒有多加的調味和油分,是個相對養生健康的火鍋湯底選擇。
材料:椰青2-3個、新鮮雞1隻(切件,想更健康的可去雞皮)、水適量
做法:
1. 椰青切開頂部,倒出椰青水。
2. 將椰青水加入鍋中,再按個人喜好加入適量清水(可加至椰青水同等份量),用大火煮滾,然後加入雞件煮約30分鐘即成火鍋湯底。
素湯底版本:
材料:椰青2-3個、南瓜300克約半斤、去核紅棗4枚
做法:
1. 椰青切開頂部,倒出椰青水。
2. 材料洗淨,南瓜去皮,切塊,以白鍋炒香,將椰青水加入鍋中,再按個人喜好加入適量清水(可加至椰青水同等份量),用大火煮滾,然後加入南瓜及紅棗煮約30分鐘即可。
備註:
– 椰青可用現成包裝椰青水取代,但新鮮椰青更為清甜
– 可用鐵匙羹挖出椰肉加入湯底中
Tasty young coconut and chicken hot pot
With a blink of an eye, we’re nearing the end of the year already. Work tends to pile up so it is important to relax properly on the weekend. As we enter winter, it is the right time to hang out over hot pot with friends and family! A lot of restaurants have been promoting young coconut and chicken soup base as it is quite tasty. The ingredients are simple and can be easily created at home as well. Young coconut is cold in nature and can balance out the warm nature of chicken in hot pot. As hot pot is a generally already a warm-natured meal, this is a healthier option.
Ingredients: 2-3 young coconuts, 1 fresh chicken (cut into pieces, remove skin to be even healthier), water
Preparation:
1. Cut off the top of young coconuts and pour out juice.
2. Place coconut juice into pot and add in appropriate amounts of water based on personal preference (Or add in same proportion to coconut juice). Cook on high heat until boiling, add in chicken and cook for about 30 minutes and you have your soup base.
Vegetarian version:
Ingredients: 2-3 young coconuts, 400g pumpkin (about half catty), 4 pitted Chinese red dates
Preparation:
1. Cut off the top of young coconuts and pour out juice.
2. Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Peel pumpkin, cut into pieces and fry without oil. Place coconut juice into pot and add in appropriate amounts of water based on personal preference (Or add in same proportion to coconut juice). Cook on high heat until boiling, add in pumpkin and red dates and cook for 30 minutes and you have your soup base.
