土豆伯府城花生糖




我原本是個不太喜歡吃花生或花生糖的人，上星期去赤崁樓拍片經過永福路武廟時，看到了一個好眼熟的花生糖攤位，因為女兒喜歡吃花生糖，我們決定嘗試看看。就花生糖麼？走過去攤位看到攤位凳子上的阿伯，說他兒子是老闆，現在去隔壁拜拜，回來再給我「輾」。喔，原來他們的花生糖是用輾的！


等老闆拜拜的時候，阿伯熱心請我們吃了之前輾好多出來的花生糖片，好香喔！他們家的花生糖是花生跟麥芽糖壓制而成的，它是為什麼這麼香咧？


沒想到花生糖一入口老闆就回來啦，可以馬上表演他的「輾花生」給我們看：


1. 將花生/麥芽糖酥糖塊放到炭火爐上加熱稍微軟化
2. 將熱過的花生酥糖塊上面撒點兒花生粉，用類似手工壓麵機輾一遍
3. 取出輾過一遍的花生糖，折疊整齊，再輾一次
（輾了兩次，這花生糖已經整個軟化了）
4. 把輾了兩次的花生糖邊緣修整齊，捲起來就是原味花生糖了*
*也可以包香菜喔！


我和女兒偏好裡面包香菜的花生糖，不那麼甜，又有個特別的「古早味」。原本以為一盒花生糖能吃上兩天，怎麼還沒走到家就掃光了。


隔天，我和表弟又回去跟他買了兩盒打算回家孝敬阿嬤，結果老闆正在趕工旁邊廟寺的訂單。看著老闆將花生糖一塊一塊小心翼翼地輾著，就像呵護著傳統文化一樣，深怕它一轉眼也在這工業化時代消失無蹤。

最後，我們買了一盒原味跟一盒包香菜的花生糖，回家阿嬤果然愛不釋口，還說現在花生糖都沒這麼香，好久沒吃到這種味道了。九十出頭的阿嬤是我們道地的台南人，熱愛甜食。近幾年來，太硬的東西已經咬不動了，沒有香氣的東西也已經失去吸引力了，所以我們都得挑選夠軟但有口感，還要甜裡帶香的小吃來促進老人家的食慾。可以想見那天找到了阿嬤喜愛的甜食是多麼令我們開心的事啊！

記得阿伯還一直提醒我們說花生糖沒吃完就給它冰起來，可以放三天，冰冰的會更好吃。呵呵，我們家的花生糖一天不到就吃光光嘍～

Tainan's Pot Burn Noodles

Image
What is "pot burn noodles"? It's a noodle soup cooked in a pot with deep-fried noodles and all kinds other goodies.  Everyone makes it with different goodies, different flavored broths.  But having had these noodles outside of Tainan, I knew I had to come back for the real thing!  My friend Emily thinks I prefer everything Tainan because of my nostalgia for my home, but, come on, food in Tainan is objectively better.  Many Taiwanese people from other cities would take a day trip to Tainan just to eat!  Anyway, the two places I recommend highly are some of my childhood favorites (so long ago): Xiǎo Dòudòu's big bowl of noodles is packed with goodies 小豆豆 (Xiǎo Dòudòu) is directly across the street from 南門公園 (Nánmén Gōngyuán). The interior looks exactly the way it did 30 years ago.  The owner and his wife look more or less the same, too.  And that bowl of noodles did not change at all in taste.  When my kids ordered their noodles, the sigh they gave....

Shandong Scallion Pancake

Image
What is a scallion pancake?  They come in different thicknesses, sizes, tastes, densities...  In short, scallion pancakes are dough kneaded with chopped scallions, and sometimes salt and oil, and then shallow-fried in oil.  In my mind, a perfect scallion pancake is one that is fluffy, flavorful, and slightly crispy on the outside.   Since coming back to Taiwan, I did not want to try them, since I was worried that I may end up with one that is dry, hard, dense, flavorless...  A few weeks ago, though, as I was leaving home to go to the Zhishan MRT station, I came across a scallion pancakery with a line out the door.  Well, if this is not a sign! I later heard from a friend that this place is called "Shandong Scallion Pancake," nick-named "If the light is on there is cake."  I was so distracted by the crowd outside I didn't even notice the light! How is the scallion pancake? Golden crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just the way I like i...
