隨着春寒漸褪,四月的暖意也開始隨風而至,滋養着大地萬物。今期Veggie Labo 為大家帶來一款富含豐富鐵質及鈣質的美味「常備菜」——大根乾絲煮物!

實際上,白蘿蔔之所以在日語裏被形象地稱為「大根」,是寓意白蘿蔔是日本人飲食的重要之根。白蘿蔔含有大量葡萄糖、果糖、多種維生素和礦物質,其中維生素C的含量比梨和蘋果高出八至十倍;而它的葉子則含有豐富的礦物質及鈣質,渾身都是寶。擔心買不到好的大根食材?別擔心,這道料理只須大根乾絲便可,只要另外加入甘筍、油揚(日本腐皮)、荷蘭豆、薑,再搭配昆布高湯一起煮,包你吃得滋味又暖心!

Simmered Dried Daikon Strips

Ingredients (serves 3-4):

1 piece of abura-age (shredded)

A knob of approx. 3cm long ginger (shredded)

A handful of snow peas

150ml kombu dashi

 

Seasonings:

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp mirin

Steps:

  1. Rinse the dried daikon strips. Soak in room temperature water for 10 minutes. After soaking, the dried daikon strips will expand 3 times. Keep the soaking water and set aside.
  2. Blanch the snow peas until done and shredded.
  3. In a frying pan, lightly broil the soaked dried daikon strips without oil. Then add a drizzle of oil. Stir fry the shredded carrot and ginger. Add the shredded abura-age (Japanese deep-fried tofu). Stir fry briefly.
  4. Pour in the kombu dashi and the water that used for soaking the dried daikon strips in step 1 (approx. 100ml). Add the seasonings. Give it a good mix. Cover with the lid and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
  5. After 15 minutes, season with soy sauce or sugar to taste. Then turn to high heat and simmer until the sauce reduces. Toss in the shredded snow peas to finish up. Dish up and ready to serve.
