端午節就快到,當然要包些粽子應節一番。但是傳統的糯米粽熱量不低,在夏天吃難免有些膩,所以今次食譜整輕型又消暑的西米水晶粽。西米粽成品晶瑩剔透,口感彈Q,加上香甜粉糯的紫薯泥,讓人不知不覺吃了好幾隻。如果想口味更豐富,可在放涼或冰後加些椰漿一起吃,立刻像置身於東南亞的海邊一樣。現在一起試試做吧!以下是我媽媽整的食譜。
⭐️小貼士:
1) 如選用乾粽葉,需用溫水浸1小時甚至一晚,讓粽葉吸足水分有一定韌性,煮時才不會輕易破裂。若選用新鮮粽葉就不需浸泡,只需清洗乾淨後放入水中烹煮消毒即可。
2) 西米不易煮熟,包之前要加入水分讓西米吸收,但西米遇水容易化掉,所以要先加入油包住西米,才能防止西米化掉又能慢慢吸水。
3) 加入西米的水量要因應不同牌子,因不同牌子西米的吸水量都不同,把水慢慢加入至西米完全吸收沒有剩餘即可。
4) 包西米水晶粽時不要包太緊,因西米煮熟會膨脹。另外,煮粽的水量要完全覆蓋粽子,才能把粽子平均煮熟。
5) 煮好的西米水晶粽可熱食或冷食,如果冷食可在吃之前稍微冰鎮,或放入雪櫃冷藏一小時,但不要超過兩小時,因西米冷掉過久會變硬。若吃剩,可把粽子待涼後放入雪櫃儲存2-3日,吃時把粽子放入沸水蒸5分鍾即可把粽子回軟。
西米水晶粽 食譜 Recipe
材料 Ingredients:
- 水晶皮 Crystal wrapper:
- 西米 300克 / 300g Tapioca pearl/ Sago
- 冰糖粉 15克 / 15g Crystal sugar powder
- 油 10克 / 10g Oil
- 水 120克 / 120g Water
- 粽葉 / Bamboo leaves/ Reed leaves
- 棉繩或咸水草 / Cotton rope
- 紫薯餡 Purple sweet potato Fillings:
- 紫薯 250克 / 250g Purple sweet potato
- 冰糖粉 25克 / 25g Crystal sugar powder
- 油 5克 / 5g Oil
- 椰汁 60克 / 60g coconut milk
- 粟粉 5克 / 5g Corn starch
做法 Step:
1) 把乾粽葉用溫水浸1小時,然後用抹布清洗乾淨,把它放入水中煮15分鐘,再把粽葉的頭部和尾部剪掉備用。 Soak dried bamboo leaves in warm water for 1 hour, then clean them with a cloth, boil them in water for 15 minutes, and then cut off the head and tail of the bamboo leaves for later use.
2) 把紫薯清洗乾淨去皮,然後切粒,放入沸水中用大火蒸15分鍾,再把蒸熟的紫薯放入攪拌機打成蓉。 Wash and peel the purple sweet potatoes, then cut them into pieces. Steam them in boiling water over high heat for 15 minutes. Then put the steamed purple sweet potatoes into a blender and mash them into puree.
3) 在鍋中加入椰汁和小許鹽用小火煮熱,加入紫薯蓉,讓紫薯完全吸收椰汁,加入冰糖粉和油拌勻,再加入粟粉水把紫薯蓉煮稠,待涼後把紫薯餡揑成小買圓球備用。 Put coconut milk and a pinch of salt to a pot and heat over low heat, then add mashed purple sweet potato, crystal sugar powder, oil and mix well. Then add corn starch solution and cook until the mashed purple sweet potato texture becomes thick. After cooling, shape the filling into small round balls shape for later use.
4) 把西米加入油和冰糖粉拌勻,再分數次加入水拌勻,讓西米慢慢吸收水份,煮時才能熟透。 Mix the sago pearls with oil and crystal sugar powder, then add water in several batches, mixing well after each addition. This allows the sago pearls to slowly absorb the water.
5) 在粽葉上光滑的一面掃上一層油,防止西米黏在粽葉上。 Brush a layer of oil on the smooth side of the bamboo leaves to prevent the sago from sticking on the leaves.
6) 在粽葉的中央位置窩出一個三角形,在底部放入一層西米,然後加入紫薯餡,再在上面鋪滿一層西米。 Fold a triangle in the center of the bamboo leaf, put a layer of sago at the bottom, then add purple sweet potato filling, and then cover it with another layer of sago.
7) 把上邊兩端葉子向下折蓋着頂部,成為密封的三角形,把棉繩的一邊固定,另一邊把粽子纏繞3-4圈綁緊。 Fold the top two leaves downwards to cover the top, forming a sealed triangle. Secure one side of the cotton rope and wrap the other side around the dumpling 3-4 times to tie it tightly.
8) 把包好的西米水晶粽放入冷水中,用中小火煮25分鐘,然後關火燜5分鐘即可。 Put the wrapped dumplings in cold water and cook over medium-low heat for 25 minutes. Then turn off the heat and wait for 5 minutes.
