周末请老公大学好友夫妇来家中小聚,做了一顿高棉菜。Austin没有柬埔寨餐馆,我们只在温哥华和巴黎吃过高棉菜,味道像越南菜和泰国菜的混血儿,再加上一些中国元素,和其他东南亚料理一样善用香料,味道丰富,很喜欢。
天气热得好似夏天,凉拌了两个沙拉--青芒果、青木瓜来PK一下。
青木瓜沙拉
1 green papaya, shredded carrots, 1 garlic, 2 chilies, 1 t shrimp paste, 5 cherry tomatoes, 1T palm sugar, 1T fish sauce, 1T lime juice, handful of mint and basil, roasted peanuts
做了两盘,一盘比较辣,用烤杏仁碎代替花生,香香脆脆的也很对味。
青芒果沙拉
1 green mango, 2T shallots, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 Thai chili, 1T dried-shrimp, 5 cherry tomatoes, 1T lime sauce, 1T fish sauce, 1T palm sugar, 1/4cup of cilantro, roasted peanuts
跟上面青木瓜沙拉差不多,把红葱头,大蒜,辣椒,虾米捣成泥。我没有捣钵,用擀面杖也凑合。接着加入番茄,再加棕榈糖,青柠汁,鱼露,充分混合。最后加入青芒果丝,搅拌均匀,用香菜,花生或者烤杏仁点缀。
两道沙拉都酸辣清爽开胃。青木瓜更爽脆,但我偏好青芒果的鲜甜果香多一点点,两道凉拌菜都是夏天的好选择。

2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
牛肉切小丁加腌料,用大火来爆炒,浇下甜酸酱汁,烧到牛肉面面俱焦香。上桌时再蘸青柠酸汁。这调味只是基本的甜咸酱油味,但是牛肉实在好香。不过我家的炉头不够大,如果是餐馆猛火,一定更香气四溢。
