红烧鳊鱼
一条八两重的鳊鱼,姜、葱、蒜
清洗干净鱼的腹腔, 在鱼的两侧刈上花刀(斜片3刀就可以了)
在鱼的两侧均匀抹上一些盐,甚至腹腔内也可以弄一点
调制好的鱼放在盘里,配上姜丝,拍扁的蒜,干辣椒丝,后又加了一些大葱!
油烧冒蓝烟后,下入配料煸香,火不能太大,主要是炒出香味, 葱蒜发黄的时候把配料捞出待用,红辣椒注意不能炸黑了
剩下的油用来煎鱼, 油温6分; 两面微黄就可以了,也可以稍微煎老点!
放一小碗水(家庭没有高汤)开始煮
水开后加入最重要的黄酒+酱油,去腥调味染色的步骤
放入先前的配料一起烧,汤中放入少许盐,不停的把汁浇在鱼上,保证均匀受热!
加入一大勺豆瓣酱(红辣椒糊), 烧一小会,鱼就熟了,时间久了就容易破坏外形
把鱼盛盘,洒上葱叶
锅里还有一些汤, 加入少许糖和醋,味素,调好一碗底的水淀粉,下锅,大火烧开,迅速搅拌均匀,有一点粘稠的时候就起锅.最后工序——浇上汤汁!汁的多少自己把握,少了太干,多了没味

烤排骨
一.干料制作及用途:
比例为七份红糖( Brown Sugar ) 两份干辣椒面( Chili Powder 我用的是CaliforniaChiliPowder ) 一份精盐.(如喜欢蒜味重的,这时也可撒上点蒜粉)三样混拌均匀,排骨分切成两半, 撕下一大块锡箔纸垫底,把排骨放在上面,用混合的干料均匀的揉抹在排骨两面,密封锡箔纸,留下一面的口,放冰箱冷藏室腌卤一小时以上( 最好时两小时左右)
二.湿料制作及用途:
六至八勺淡酱油,三勺蜂蜜,两勺料酒,半头蒜剁碎,以大勺醋,二至三勺水, 混拌均匀成汁待用.腌卤两小时左右的排骨拿出来,把湿料汁顺着敞开的口,排骨的底部一勺一勺的灌进区(湿料汁平均灌两包的排骨),再密封好这个口,不要露汽是很重要的一个步骤.
三.烤排骨.
烤箱定位375度,烤大约1小时至1小时30 分钟,肉脱骨就好了.切成一跟一根的就可上桌了.(如口重的话,可再将剩下的汁浇到排骨上)
注:如拷大排骨时,切下软骨那边,用纯排骨那边, 秘封锡箔纸前排骨下面要加两根不用了的筷子,这样排骨下能有空间,利于灌汁,利于蒸烤.
