雪耳燉雪梨 Stewed Pear with White Fungus

近日的天氣開始變得乾燥,喉嚨時常都會變得很乾很痛。聽到一個中醫朋友提到一個簡單的滋潤的方法:這個就是雪耳燉雪梨。雪耳有滋潤的功效,而雪梨就有清熱的作用,兩者加起來的確是一個便宜又有效的補品。聽說如果想消脂的話,更可用苦瓜代替雪梨。

材料:

  • 1 個雪梨
  • 1 小塊雪耳
  • 南北杏少許
  • 1 茶題冰糖

做法:

  1. 從梨頂部 3/4 吋處切開當蓋,以去核刀將梨心取出。
  2. 將梨肉挖出待用,做成梨杯。
  3. 將梨肉、南北杏、雪耳及冰糖加入梨中,並注入滾水至八分滿。
  4. 用牙簽將梨頂部與梨杯固定。
  5. 將濕毛巾置於燉盅底部,放入梨。
  6. 以大火隔水燉約八分鐘即可趁熱食用。

Ingredients:

  • 1 Pear
  • 1 small piece white fungus
  • A few apricot & almond kernels
  • 1 tsp rock sugar

Method:

  1. Cut away the pear top (about 3/4 inch), use the core knife to remove core.
  2. Remove the pear meat, make it like a cup.
  3. Put the pear meat, apricot & almond kernels and rock sugar in the pear cup, add in boiling water until 80% full.
  4. Cover with the pear top & fix with tooth picks.
  5. Put the wet towel on the steambowl & put the pear in.
  6. Steam over high heat for 8 mins. Serve with hot.
