日式腐皮包飯

這是蛋包飯的純素版，就是用一張大腐皮代替奄列，是日新品！

腐皮包飯怎可少了茄汁呢？大蕃薯本想買現成的Ｈ牌茄汁，在超級市場幾經爭扎後還是決定自己煮。
腐皮可於豆品店或雜貨店購入，順道支持一下小店也不錯。

材料：
腐皮（直徑約半米）一張
隔夜飯　　　　　　一碗
粟米粒　　　　　　半碗
紅椒（切粒）　　　半隻
蕃茄（中、切粒）　兩個

調味料：
糖　　　　　　　　一茶匙半
鹽　　　　　　　　適量
黑椒粉　　　　　　適量
麻油　　　　　　　隨意

（一人份量）

做法：
１。急凍粟米粒要先出水，新鮮粟米條就先蒸熟再切下粟米粒。
２。起鍋下油，用中大火炒蕃茄粒。
３。蕃茄開始出水時下糖、鹽，拌勻。用中火煮十五分鐘即成茄汁。
４。起鍋下油，用大火將紅椒粒爆香。
５。倒入隔夜飯和粟米粒兜炒，直至粒粒分明。
６。下鹽、黑椒粉、麻油，拌勻。
７。腐皮略沖水洗淨，將炒飯放在一角，摺疊包好。
８。用大火蒸腐皮包飯約五分鐘，再用少許油煎香兩面至金黃色。
９。淋上茄汁，畫個笑臉～

PS1　自製茄汁的蕃茄味比市面賣的濃多了，千萬別慳功夫隨便買噢。
PS2　茄汁要比其他蕃茄菜式稍多放糖。
PS3　炒飯可隨意配搭材料和調味料，但要避免太濃太嗆的配搭，別忘了要配合茄汁味。

My birthday... with all the food and veggie and cooking thinggie plus @ Alley Cafe

I haven't written on this blog for a while... Cooking and tasting food run as usual; however, getting a bit lazy to write.

My friends surprised me a lot during my birth week! All the presents are about food and cooking! I received a cupcake salt and pepper set, a vegan bibibam, a vegan apple cinnamon cake, a maple candy, a 100 vegetarian recipe book and... a pasta machine!! Love them all so much!

There was a little celebration in Alley Cafe. It's a vegetarian cafe and I've been there a few times before. The food taste so homemade~ The full English breakfast, sandwiches, and CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE are my favourites! The large full English breakfast can really makes you full. There's also a half one if the stomach is not that empty. The vegan version would give us a scramble tofu instead of scramble eggs. The scramble tofu on the toast is the highlight of this breakfast.

There are so many different combination of sandwich bread and fillings and sauce, suitable for people with different dietary needs like gluten free/ vegan, etc. Just create our own sandwich! I tried the sesame bagel with cream cheese and spinach. It came with side salad with sesame sauce, my favourite as well!

This time I tried the daily special - Chilli on a baked sweet potato^^ How can I not love sweet potato? Such a nice seasonal ingredient to enjoy.

I ordered the CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE everytime if I'm having dessert. It's digestive biscuits wrapped with chocolate and served with a scope of vanilla ice-cream and chocolate sauce. And it's all VEGAN!

When we almost finished the meal, I introducing this cake to my friends excitingly. Then a waiter brought out a CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE from the bar, and I was so excited and shouted "Look! Look! Look!" Strange thing was, the waiter use a plane to cover half of the cake...!? It was my birthday cake! There's a candle on it!

That's the most surprise birthday for the last few years, thank you all my dear =]

Vegetarian Cookery School - Vegan pudding and desserts

終於上了期待已久的純素甜品課程，同類課程即使在本地亦很少見，聖誕大餐特別班早已爆滿，大蕃薯想報名都沒機會了><"


課堂上共製作了五款甜品和一款主菜，即場吃了兩款甜品：pancake和rice pudding，其餘三款（toffee pudding, dark coca muffin, cinnamon roll）就帶回家慢慢品嚐～最最最驚喜的是肉桂卷（cinnamon roll），味道根本是港式麵包呀！！師傅教我們用大豆乳酪和豆奶等做出鬆軟的質感，還有用糖加豆奶掃面，做出反光的靚靚包面。











另外pancake亦很不錯，只不過我組煎pancake時火候沒調校好，沒能做出像師傅的pancake鬆軟。原來除了楓糖漿外，現在市面上有好幾款糖漿供我們選擇，有海棗、龍舌蘭等，我喜歡黑龍舌蘭糖漿，就買了一支放在家裡。

Rice Pudding是很適合初學者的甜品，以椰漿和豆奶代替牛奶就可以了。這亦是大蕃薯第一次接觸Saffron這種香料，有種水果的淸甜，一小撮就能為整鍋布甸畫龍點睛！跟雲尼拿、橙香、提子乾等配合來煮飯亦很不錯。

師傅替我們弄了肉桂香橙布霖做Rice pudding的佐料，因為這步驟稍為麻煩，大蕃薯在家都懶很預備了......留待特別節日才加這佐料吧。



主菜是蔬菜批和兩款沙律，沙律的水準極高。要做出美味的生菜很有難度，將什麼生菜配在一起亦甚有學問。主角是甜品，蔬菜批和兩款沙律表過不詳。

這次大蕃薯學了好多純素甜品的基本功，以後焗糕點會很有用喔。
