食譜: 涼瓜肉環 (Minced pork in the bitter melon)

奧運期間真係辛苦我呀, 晚晚睇到好夜, 昨日又睇游泳比賽同埋體操睇到1點呀, 今日好眼瞓呀, 救命呀

不過賽事真係好緊湊呀, 美國游泳phels 真係好犀利呀, 22歲已經囉左11面奧運金牌呀, 女子體操又好好睇呀, 美國同中國鬥得好緊張呀, 最後中國贏到金牌,

我都覺得好開心呀, 好感人呀

今日哩個靚餸, 其實都有少少難度呀, 最難當然就係填滿個苦瓜, 但又唔好比佢甩出嚟喎, 秘訣就係每個苦瓜都要填滿少少, 同埋要灑好粟粉, 煎好就小心啲, 唔好反得太大力就無咩問題啦

我知有唔少人怕苦, 所以我今次出左水, 我覺得真係無咁苦呀, 所以你怕苦的話, 不況先出水, 如果唔怕的話, 唔出都得喎

先煎後炆令味道更加香濃呀,

大家有無見我碟中有啲肉呀? 無錯, 如果你填晒啲苦瓜仲有淨啲肉, 可以扼成肉球, 同苦瓜環一齊煮, 雖然無苦瓜, 但都好好味呀

大家不況試吓啦,

我覺得填苦瓜其實都幾好玩呀, 哈哈哈

正所謂: 涼瓜肉環夠得意, 一於整嚟試吓先

1- 填苦瓜時, 要填滿一點, 因為肉煮熟會收縮
