My mother never taught me how to make rice dumplings as a kid, but I always sat on the side and watched, and that's how I learned. Only one time did I ask my mom how to do it, just because of a tradition about getting into college. I am thankful for my mother teaching me as a kid to make homemade food, even if it wasn't directly.
我媽媽從來沒有教過我做粽子的過程,但是她每年做,所以看久了,就記起來了。只有一年,我要上大學,剛考完聯考,聽說包粽子,會包中。所以我請媽媽叫我怎麼用竹葉包粽子,就這麼一次,我再也沒做過粽子。直到當了媽媽,才開始做粽子,感謝我媽媽勤勞做很多食物給我們吃,現在我才能印象怎麼教小孩做食物。
Now every year for Dragon Boat festival, I will make rice dumplings with my kids. I always go to the traditional market to buy the supplies and always get shocked comments about me being able to make them myself. I guess they don't see many of my generation or age coming in very often. It is usually the old grandmas that come in to buy such things. It gave me the same feeling as when I go on the street and people count my children and gasp, "Are all 4 of them yours?"
現在每年端午節,我一定會包粽子,每次去市場,那些市場的人,都很驚訝看著我,然後說:妳會包粽子?!。我想應該是買粽子材料的人都是阿媽之類的人吧!(這跟走在路上,帶四個小孩,會被問:這四個都是你生的嗎?,這兩個問題都給我有異曲同工之妙的感覺。)
This year I only made one flavour. It was all vegan, containing hazel nuts, mushrooms, rice, and purple garlic. It tastes great, if I say so myself.
今年就只有一種口味,素粽。自己發明的,粽子裡面有用紅蔥頭炒香菇根杏鮑姑,加上栗子。我是南部人,所以做得是南部粽子,這次用乾竹葉、圓糯米。比去年多包一點,今年包三串,每串二十四顆。
感謝Amira幫我包粽子,她會自己放料,最後我才剝起來! I am thankful for Amira's helping! |
準備材料:
兩包生栗子
兩包乾香菇(一包一百元,先要用熱水泡軟)
三棵杏鮑姑
粽葉一包,內有兩捲(今年多買一包,葉子剩太多)
圓糯米一包(大約兩斤)
乾燥紅蔥頭約八顆
乾竹葉1包(用熱水泡半個小時,一片一片清洗洗)
做法:先將紅蔥頭剁碎爆香,加入香菇跟杏鮑姑拌炒,加上醬油、鹽巴、胡椒跟一點糖,口味要鹹一點。
生栗子洗淨即可,如果是乾的,要提前先泡軟。
接下來就把圓糯米洗一洗,拌入一些鹽巴跟胡椒,讓粽子口味可以更好吃一些。(我自己猜的,所以今年就加進來試試看)
最後包粽子,折粽葉,放三分之一的米,然後放香菇料跟栗子,最後用米再蓋上,包起來,綁在繩子上,以上包法,純粹是兒時印象。
煮上一大桶水,冷水開始就把粽子放進去,煮四十分鐘即可。
