玉簪明蝦球是流行於上世紀七、八十年代的巧手菜,主要用菜心穿起大海蝦、金華火腿和筍絲,賣相猶如古代女子的髮簪,白綠相配,典雅華美,以這道菜宴客,色香味俱全,想必人吃人讚。
大隻海蝦 口感彈牙
玉簪明蝦球賣相精緻,色彩清新亮麗,一上桌便惹人好感,只見菜心像玉簪般,貫穿大海蝦頭尾兩端,中間再夾一點金華火腿絲和筍絲,味道更添層次。帝苑廳主廚黃文杰師傅說烹調此菜實不難,只要在已去殼的蝦肉頭和尾,輕輕弄開一個小洞,然後把菜心穿過兩端即成。最重要是選用新鮮大海蝦,每隻最好有二至三両重,蝦身夠大,才能嘗到彈牙的口感,也更易把菜心穿過蝦肉。怕菜心太軟身,改用芥蘭亦可,由於芥蘭烹調時間較長,最好先用水輕灼至三成熟,以便最後能與蝦球同步煮熟。玉簪明蝦球炒前宜先用滾水灼至半熟,再以蒜蓉爆至熟透,可大大縮短烹調時間,保持蝦身脆嫩。
為了吃到大海蝦、菜心、金華火腿、冬筍的原汁原味,調味料就只有簡單的糖、鹽,可說是一道老幼咸宜的健康菜式。由於炒蝦肉時會有出水情況,所以黃師傅建議大家熄火前,加入生粉水同煮至蝦肉完全吸收。如想更鮮香,可於上碟前加一茶匙蟹黃同爆香。雖然此菜也可改用其他材料如鮑魚、帶子,但還是配搭大蝦最具視覺效果。
