客家人吃客家菜

homemade

我是客家人,家裡的菜自然滲透著客家食客做菜的手法和味道。今年農曆新年時我隨爹娘回鄉探親,舅舅準備了「咸雞」和「豬網油蠔豉」招呼大家。咸雞是醃咸了的白切雞,用大量粗鹽(外婆乾脆把雞放進大鹽缸內)醃白切雞兩、三天而成,但切記不能超過三日,過份醃製的雞肉會失去水份,難食極。醃好的咸雞只要番熱便可,最好配白飯,也可用來煲粥。客家人為何要把雞醃咸?這是個謎,大概是古時沒有冰箱,醃肉較容易保存吧!
豬網油在不少廣東菜中出現,是一種很奇妙的食物,能夠滲出動物油香,滋潤食物,實在是一種提升味道的媒界。蠔豉香味十足,但要以較長的時間炆製,也要依靠其他食物帶出它的味道,豬網油正好扮演這個角色。
