Seafood Porridge

Seafood Porridge海鲜绵粥

白米前一天处理:
1)白米洗净,再剪几片的香兰叶用水盖过白米,浸一个小时。
2)之后沥干水份,再把白米放进搅拌机内稍微搅碎
3)再装进纸袋,放在冰箱冷藏处隔夜
4)隔天要煮的前一个小时从冰箱拿出来解冻即可





鱼片 : 用适量胡椒粉、盐和玉米粉腌制


青葱碎: 让粥的颜色不会那么的单调
姜丝: 可以劈腥                        
青葱丝: 装饰用                               



主要材料~膏蟹

备注

一定要用膏蟹,煮的过程蟹膏融进粥里,美味鲜甜极了



材料之一:明虾
剪掉虾须,再用适量的昭兴花雕酒腌制


不可缺少的蒜头酥~让粥吃起来香香滑滑的


两块鸡骨熬成的高汤。再加入少许的鸡精粉和盐(少许即可


煮绵白粥过程:
准备一个中型砂煲,放入白米,再筛入高汤,用中火煮沸,煮沸之后,再关小火慢慢熬。



汤汁越来越少,可是粥还没完全绵软。又再加入适量的高汤,再开大火煮沸~之后再慢火熬
重覆的动作,煮至粥的口感软绵即可


煮的过程若怕粘底,就加入适量的麻油和蒜头酥油。这样不但不容易粘底而且吃起来口感很顺滑滴


粥熬至软绵之后,就先加入膏蟹。螃蟹比起其他材料来得难熟所以一定要先加入


之后再加入腌制好的鱼片和虾


 虾转为红色就可加入青葱碎拌均


要好的一分钟前再加入鲍鱼片即可
