不含穀膠咖喱餃子製作 Making gluten free dumplings using Orgran pasta flour

這一次是利用 Orgran 不含穀膠餃子皮麵粉 及 日本咖喱粉(甜) 來製作 不含穀膠、不含牛奶、不含雞蛋等的咖喱蔬菜餃子。

We'll make use of Orgran pasta flour, which is gluten free/ dairy free/ egg free/ yeast free/ nut free as well as Mild curry roux for kids from Japan to make the dumplings.

這是這一次的材料 - (餡料)

日本咖喱粉(甜) 一包
美國焗薯 兩個
洋蔥 一個
甘荀 兩條
有機蜜糖 適量

鹽 適量

(餃子皮)

Orgran 不含穀膠餃子皮麵粉 一盒
水約210ml
油一湯匙
雞蛋一隻/ Orgran 代蛋粉(Orgran egg replacer )
白米粉 或 不含穀膠粟粉 (有些粟粉含穀膠,我們要挑選不含穀膠的粟粉)

首先 先把甘荀 , 洋蔥 ,焗薯 都切成小粒
(選用焗薯會最好 如果用新薯會太爽身不太適合用來包餃子)
再把甘荀先下滾水中出一出水

(湯)

有機菜湯精華 x 1 -2 湯匙

Ingredients as below - (fillings)

Mild curry roux for kids x 1 packet

Large baking potatoes x 2 (we chose baking potatoes for it's softer, more gluey texture)

Onion x 1

Carrot x 2

Organic honey & salt

(pastry)

Orgran pasta flour x 1 packet

Water 210ml
Oil 1 tbsp
Egg x 1 (or equivalent amount of Orgran egg replacer for egg allergy sufferers)
Rice flour or gluten free corn flour

(soup)

Organic vegetable bouillon x 1-2 tbsp

First of all, finely dice onion, potato and carrots. Parboil the carrot.

之後 開火 鍋熱了下油 油的溫度可以了 就下焗薯
看到焗薯開始變色微金黃了 先下甘荀及一半洋蔥

On medium heat, heat up the saucepan. Add oil. Stir fry the potato till it turns golden brown.

Add carrot and half of the onion.

中火不停的搞動材料大約等三分鐘,就可以加入 日本咖喱粉(甜) 了。

Keep stir frying for 3 minutes. Add the Mild curry roux for kids .

搞動材料令咖哩粉平均的和其他材料混合就可以加入大約300ml的水了
以不超過材料的高度為原則
把煲蓋蓋上等大約5-7分鐘 就可以加 鹽 及 蜜糖 調味了
蜜糖 我是加了大約1.5 茶匙的
煮日本咖哩加入 蜜糖 可以令它的甜味更香
如果發現 材料太大顆 這個時候可以順道用鏟把它們壓碎一點。

Mix the roux well with other ingredients. Add 300ml water. Put on the lid for 5-7 minutes.

Add honey (about 1.5 tsp) & salt. Honey goes really well with Japanese curry.

Press the ingredients slightly if you find them too lumpy.



大約再等咖哩沸騰大約3分鐘,就可以倒出來了
倒出來後等溫度冷卻就包好放到雪櫃內備用

Cook for a further 3 minutes and switch off heat.

Cool down, wrap it and put into the fridge.

這個時候我們就要準備開餃子皮的粉了
先用 Orgran egg replacer 開大約一隻蛋的份量

To prepare the dumpling pastry, prepare egg replacer equivalent to that of one egg.

開好之後就放入雪櫃冷藏一會
現在把粉都倒出來 可以倒在平面或者鐵盆內
先把粉中間開一小洞 倒入油之後混合
再加入Orgran egg replacer 再混合。

Chill the replacer.

Pour the pasta flour onto a working space. Create a well in the centre of the flour.

Add oil. Mix. Add egg replacer.

之後慢慢加入水 再可以正式開始猜粉團了

Start kneading. Add water gradually while kneading the dough.

把粉團猜到水份平均 就可以慢慢加入 白米粉 或 粟粉。
到粉團不太粘手 就可以拿出來 捲成一條 以方便做皮了

Knead well. Add rice/ corn flour gradually till the dough is not sticky to the touch.

Roll into a roll.

先在桌上放一點白米粉 再從粉團撕一小部份出來
壓平 再用圓型的模切出一個餃子皮出來 再在剛壓好的餃子皮上放上 白米粉
會令他們不會粘在一起
一包 Orgran pasta flour 大約可以做20多隻餃子
視乎你做的厚度而定
把餃子皮都壓好就可以把餃子餡拿出來包了

Dust worktop with rice flour. Tear a small cube of dough. Press flat. Cut out the dumpling pastry using a round cutter. Dust the pastry. A packet of Orgran pasta flour makes about 2 dozens.



在包的時候在手上 及 放包好餃子的容器 上先放上 白米粉
會令整個過程變得容易很多
把所有餃子都包好後 就可以開始煮的了
先煲好適量的水 水中要加入大約一湯匙的油 鹽 並加入一湯匙有機菜湯精華。

水滾後把餃子放下去 大約煮10分鐘

Dust your hands and a container with white rice flour or gluten free corn flour.

Fill in the dumplings. When you are done with the wrapping, boil a pot of water. Add salt, oil and organic vegetable bouillon to the water. Pour in dumplings and cook for about 10 minutes.


這樣就完成了我們的 Gluten free 日式咖哩餃子了~

Done. Yum!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
由於沒加雞蛋 所以皮沒那麼香 想要好吃一點 可把湯煮得濃味一點
例如可以加入肉類或2湯匙有機菜湯精華於湯中 (不要加雞粉或外面的調味粉。過動或缺乏專注力或有特殊需要的小朋友最容易對人造調味或色素起反應)。

Since I did not add eggs to the pastry, you might want to spice up the dumplings and the soup by adding other ingredients such as meat or 2 tbsp of organic vegetable bouillon (do not add chicken powder or other MSG containing condiments. Kids with special needs/ ADHD/ ADD will mostly likely respond to artificial flavoring or coloring).

蒜茸腐乳炒通菜 Fried water spinach with garlic and preserved bean curd

這一次為大家介紹一款中式調味料 有機腐乳
可以用來炒菜 煮肉 送飯來吃也可以 豆味很香 帶丁點甜

We are using this organic preserved bean curd this time. It's a very versatile condiment and is commonly used in Chinese dishes to go with veggies & meat (e.g. chicken and pork).

It is so good that some people even enjoy it with plain rice.

You'll notice that it's very flavorful with a tint of sweetness.

我們這次用這個 有機腐乳 來炒通菜
材料 蒜頭大約4-6粒 切成粒
通菜一斤
糖 鹽 適量
先開中火 等鍋熱了下油 油也熱了先下蒜茸 火不要太猛 不是很容易會濃了
看到蒜茸變金黃色 就下通菜 不停的炒
炒至開始變深綠色就可以加入 有機腐乳 份量大約是一磚
快速的混合 待 有機腐乳 都和菜混合後 就加入糖 鹽
再炒多一會就完成了

Ingredients: 4-6 cloves garlic

1 catty (about 600g) water spinach

Pinch of sugar & salt

1 cube of organic preserved bean curd

On medium heat, add oil and then garlic.

Fry until the garlic turns golden in color. Add water spinach and fry until it darkens in color.

Add bean curd and fry till it mixes well with the veggie. Add sugar & salt. Done!



日本小米麵鼓蒸魚 Steamed fish with gluten free soya free millet

麵鼓不只可以用來蒸魚,也可以用來炒米粉,炒麵,炒菜,放湯,醃肉 等等
白米麵鼓 及 小米麵鼓 的味道溫和,帶甜,不太鹹 (很多人以為麵鼓很鹹,其實不然,這款麵鼓挺有特色
就算像我那樣就這樣放上魚上蒸也不是問題
還可以去除魚的腥味 又不會蓋過魚本身的味道

Miso is not only for steaming fish. It is also a great condiment for stir frying vermicelli, noodles, veggies. Great also as a soup base and a meat marinade!

It is not as salty as most people would think. Rather, it's more on the sweet side and it's a mild, mellowy condiment (NO SUGAR ADDED)!

Add it to steamed fish to remove that 'fishy odor' and keep the original taste of fish.

材料如下
黃腳立一條 去內臟
鹽 適量
白米麵鼓 適量,約2至3湯匙(可以平均塗在魚身內 及魚的表面就夠)

Ingredients -

Yellowfin seabream x 1 (offal removed)

Salt pinch

Millet miso 2-3 tbsp

蒸大約15-25分鐘(視乎魚的大小)就可以
-----------------------------------------------------------
簡單方便 喜歡吃魚又希望吃到由Gluten free的調味蒸出來的魚
一定要試試這個方法

Rub the miso inside and on the surface of the fish.

Steam for 15-25 minutes depending on the size of fish.

Easy and simple. Give it a try!






Gluten free Vietnamese shrimp /vegan springrolls 越式炸鮮蝦卷 及 炸素春卷

為大家介紹好味又方便的小吃
由 Blue Dragon Spring Roll Wrappers(越南春卷皮) 製成的春卷

We are making springrolls in seafood and vegan versions.


這一次我做了兩款春卷 分別有 炸鮮蝦卷 及 素春卷
炸鮮蝦卷的材料很簡單
新鮮海蝦
海鹽 或 岩鹽 適量
Blue Dragon Spring Roll Wrappers(越南春卷皮)
(一片春卷皮如果是包鮮蝦可以切開4份 包4份春卷)

炸油。我們選用有機的葵花籽油

而素春卷的材料如下
鮮冬菇1包 約7-8朵
秀珍菇1包 約200克
有機黑豆壺底蔭油 1湯匙
糖 約1.5茶匙
鹽 適量
Blue Dragon Spring Roll Wrappers(越南春卷皮) 4片

首先把鮮蝦去殼 洗淨 再用吸水紙把蝦身弄乾 再下適量的鹽 醃數分鐘
之後就可以把 春卷皮 圓型一片 切開成四份
每一角用來包一隻蝦
把春卷皮放進熟水中 浸軟後 就可以用來包蝦卷的了

Shrimp rolls Ingredients -

Frying oil. We use organic sunflower oil.

Fresh shrimps (or frozen shrimps with tails)

Salt pinch

Blue Dragon Spring Roll Wrappers x 1 (One piece of wrapper cut into four portions for four servings)

Vegan rolls ingredients -

Fresh shitake mushroom 7-8pcs

Oyster mushroom ~200g

Organic black soy bean paste

Sugar 1.5tsp

Salt pinch

Blue Dragon Spring Roll Wrappers x 4 (One piece of wrapper cut into four portions for four servings)

To prepare shrimp rolls, first of all remove shrimp shells. Wash thoroughly and absorb excess moisture with kitchen towels. Add salt. Cut a springroll wrapper into 4 quarters.1 quarter for 1 shrimp.

Put a wrapper into water to soften before wrapping.


之後我們就可以準備素春卷的材料了

Then we move to vegan rolls.



把冬菇 秀珍菇都切粒 出水
出水後 再下鍋炒香 (油要滾)
炒到一半時就加入 有機黑豆壺底蔭油 , 糖 及鹽
(其實這個有機黑豆壺底蔭油 是可以代替蠔油來使用的,只是它本身沒蠔油那麼甜,
可能使用的時候你要再加入丁點糖來提升它的味道)
炒至水份收乾一半後先放入碗中放涼大約3-4分鐘

Dice and parboil the mushrooms.

In heated pan, fry the mushroom on medium-high heat.

Halfway through the frying, add organic soy bean paste, sugar and salt.

The organic soy bean paste replaces oyster sauce. You just need a pinch of sugar to enhance the flavor.

Fry the mushrooms until half the water is evaporated. Cool down in a bowl for 3-4 minutes.

同樣地把一整片春卷皮放進熟水中浸軟(大約浸 40秒就會變軟的了)
之後把皮放在平整的碟上(或者像我放在一個膠盒的蓋上也可以)
先放把碎菇粒放到皮的中下方 再把左右摺向中間
之後把後方的皮再覆上去, 會剛剛包住材料

Immerse an entire piece of wrapper in water for about 40 seconds to soften it up.

Place the wrapper on a flat surface.

Place mushrooms on the middle-lower part of the wrapper.Fold the excess of the left and right sides toward the centre.

最後把下方的部份小心的往上卷就可以了

Roll it up.

最後就先下油 油滾了就轉小火把春卷放下去
看到皮開始硬和就泡泡就可以把春卷反一反轉
再把火轉中火 看到春卷有微微的轉黃就可以夾上來了

用廚房紙擱在碟上吸一吸油

Heat up the wok. Heat up the oil till it's very hot. Turn on low heat.

Fry the springroll in oil. When the surface of the roll starts to turn crispy, flip over the roll and turn on medium heat. When the roll turns golden, move the roll to a plate lined with kitchen towels (to absorb oil).

這樣就完成了這一次的菜單
越南鮮蝦春卷 及 越南素春卷
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
除了蝦 鮮菇 還可以包菜蔬或其他肉類
但要注意包的時候饀料不要放太多 因為在炸的時候皮會變很脆
饀料很容易會流了出來
除了炸 這春卷皮 也可以用來蒸 變化可以有很多的

另外炸的時候火不要用太猛 因為這個春卷皮很容易會濃

如果沾上有機甜辣汁 (不太辣)會更好吃~

Tips: do not add too much fillings to each roll, because the wrapper is quite thin and it's easy for the fillings to overflow.

Dip it in organic sweet chili sauce (it's not too hot) to enhance the flavor.
