南洋风味(年菜)--传统年糕制作

我的童年是在马来西亚南部的一个小镇度过的。小地方的“年味”是很浓厚的,浓浓的年味里少不了的就是蒸年糕的甜香味。我们家族在小镇里算是大族,亲戚们住得近,来往得也很密。所以蒸年糕这个工作一般是由家里的长辈一次蒸上几十盆,再分给大家过节的。在我家,这项工作是由我阿嬤(奶奶)来担任的,传统的年糕制作是个大工程,每个步骤老人都很慎重很小心,年糕入蒸笼前还有许多的禁忌,尤其是对小孩子,会加以禁止靠近,也不让我们多说话。说是怕小孩子的童言无忌,会让蒸出来的年糕不光滑,或不会有漂亮的琥珀色(不焦化)。

年糕的主要功能是年除夕时祭祖和祭神时用的,一般会在年前好几周就提前制作好,制作的工序严谨繁琐,从铺垫器具,泡糯米,磨米浆,脱水,拌糖到蒸制全都需要人工制作,处理好入蒸笼之后还要在后院用大大的蒸笼蒸上12-16个小时,蒸年糕的过程需要有人不断的添材火,加热水,所以每年蒸年糕的时候,我阿嬤就会有两晚都没法睡觉,实在是一个爱意满满的糕点哦!现在虽然有了很多简易的年糕方子,但我仍觉得,阿嬤亲手做出来的糯米年糕才是最Q弹,最甜糯好吃的!

古法制作的年糕不容易变质,即使在没有冰箱的年代,年糕在室温下都能收藏半年,甚至一年之久。一般都是年后才会把年糕取来切块蒸软或裹上面糊炸了吃。

人在国外我没有条件石磨米浆和材火蒸煮,但在慢炖锅和电动搅拌机的协助下,相当大程度地复制了阿嬤制作的年糕味道。

带着我家乡的传统年糕,向私房的姐姐妹妹们祝贺,希望大家在新的一年里阖家安康,欢乐无限。

 Nian Gao is normally used for prayers in Chinese New Year, a well steamed Nian Gao can be stored for months without being refrigerated.

Even though there are many short cut recipes of Nian Gao circulating around the net nowadays.

I still find it imperative to preserve the traditional way of making it.

Though I can't stone grind my glutinous rice and steam cook using firewoods, I do manage to replicate the process as closely to the origin as I can with the aids of blender and slow cooker.

I have to say that I cannot be more pleased with the result!

Here I am, together with my family heritage -- Nian Gao, wishing everybody a prosperous and healthy year of Monkey!


材料:(制作 2 只 直径 5-6寸的年糕)

2 大片的 新鲜或冷冻 芭蕉叶

300 克 长糯米

300 克 白糖

1/3 杯 水

两个 直径6 寸的深碗或烤模

 

Ingredients :(Make two 5-6 inch diameter cake)
2 large pieces of fresh or frozen banana leaves
300 gm of glutinous rice
300 gm of sugar
1/3 cup of water

Two 6-inch diameter bowls


南洋风味(年菜)--传统年糕制作


1. 糯米洗净后泡水至少4个小时,沥干后加入1/3杯水(水不能多),倒入搅拌机里和白糖一起磨成糊。如果搅拌机马力不是很大的话,可以预先把糖和米粒拌匀再倒入搅拌,糖在搅拌的过程会液化,会很容易搅拌顺滑。

2. 把新鲜的芭蕉叶用滚水烫软(如果用冷冻的就不需要这个步骤),擦洗干净后剪去硬梗部分,撕成4-5寸宽,围着圆碗或烤模交叠铺上,尽量紧密地交叠,底部再铺上一块圆形的芭蕉叶。用个橡胶圈或棉绳把芭蕉叶圈起稳定。这样做可以避免芭蕉叶在蒸煮的时候卷起变形进而造成年糕变形。

3. 把慢炖锅/蒸笼开启后,把磨好的米浆倒入铺有芭蕉叶的模具里,7-8分满。

 1. Wash and soaked glutinous rice for at least 4 hours. Grind the rice together with sugar with 1/3 cup of water (no more than that).

Note: If your mixer is not so powerful, you can mix the rice and sugar before grinding, the sugar will liquefy during the grinding process, which will aid in grinding.

2. Softened the fresh banana leaves by soaking/blanching it briefly in boiling water (if frozen ones are used, not need to blanch). Remove hard stems and wiped clean. cut the banana leaves into 4-5 inches in width,

3. Line banana leaves around steaming bowls by overlapping the pieces and place a round shape of banana leaves at the bottom to further secured the leaves.

4. Use a rubber band or cotton rope to secure the leave around bowls to avoid deformation/shrunken of the leaves during steaming process, which could then resulting in out of shape cakes.

4. 在慢炖锅里倒扣一个比较大的碗,再把装有米浆的蒸碗摆在上头,慢炖锅里加入滚水,至7-8分满。在锅上盖上一块干净的布或厨房纸,加盖慢炖锅用高火/蒸笼用中小火蒸煮13-16个小时(我蒸了15个小时)。直至年糕变琥珀色(糖已焦化), 表面平滑即可。

5. 取出蒸碗年糕冷却定型(大约12个小时)后才脱模。

3. Heat up the slow cooker / steamer, pour rice mixture into steaming bowls lined with banana leaves, leave around 1 inch of space for the cake to expand during steaming.

 4. Place a bigger bowl upside down in the slow cooker to raise the height so that we could add more water for long hours of steaming. Place the steaming bowl on top and add boiling water to the crockpot up to about 80% full.

5. Lightly place a clean towel or kitchen towel over the cooker before putting the lid on to prevent water dripping on the cake.

6. Steam the cake at high (On crockpot) and medium low on steamer for 13-16 hours (I steamed mine for 15 hours) until the cakes become amber in color (Caramelized) and the surface become smooth.

7. Remove the cakes from cooker and let cooled for about 12 hours before removing from steaming bowls. 

古法制作的年糕,浓浓的年味是不是马上就出来啦?
