年年有得算~ 算盘子 Hakka Yam Abacus

 “算盤子”是大埔客的传统家乡小吃,
虽然准备功夫繁多,但是过年过节,
这带有好预头的菜肴还是挺受欢迎的,尤其是客家人。

The Yam Abacus is a traditional dish of the Hakka people from the Tai Po district. Despite being tedious to prepare, this dish, which symbolizes unity and prosperity, is well loved, especially by the Hakka.

  





算盘子带圆的外貌象征诸事圆满;一家团圆,
所以对讲究凡事都求好的华族,当然喜欢乘新春期间,
把它选为桌上肴,以讨个好吉利。
The round shape of the abacus symbolizes unity. Thus, the Chinese find joy in serving this dish, in the hope that the new year will be a prosperous one.

      2。  面团揉好后,揉成小圆球,用拇指轻轻的按一下,做好后犹如一个算盘。
      2.    Roll the dough into small balls, use the thumb press the center of the ball   to form an abacus-like shape.

      3。  烧热一锅水,水滚后,放入算盘子煮至浮在水面上,捞起,过一过冷水,让煮熟的算盘子不会粘在一起。
      3.    Cook the "abacus" in boiling water until it floats, scoop it out and immerse in cold water so that the abacus won't stick together.



      4。  热油锅,放入切碎的小葱头炒,再加入蒜头碎爆香,加入虾米碎炒香,再加入冬菇丝和木耳丝炒香,加入少许绍兴酒,最后加入猪肉碎把所有材料炒熟,倒入算盘子略炒,加入胡椒粉,酱青和盐调味,最后撒上芹菜和青葱即可。
      4.   Heat up oil, saute the shallot, garlic and dry shrimp until fragrant. Add in mushroom julienne and black fungus julienne, continue to saute until soft. Add in Shao Xing wine, then add in minced meat and saute until all ingredients are cooked.  Add in the "abacus", give it a quick stir fry, then add in pepper, soya sauce and salt to taste. Finally, sprinkle spring onion and Chinese celery before serving.




      另外,也有人相信吃了“算盘子”
      人就变得精打細算”,
      同时又年年有余有钱算!
      On the other hand, there are others who believe that eating the Hakka Yam Abacus brings both thriftiness and wealth.

         简单说,口感独特,味道丰富的一道佳肴。
      The delicious Hakka Yam Abacus is chewy in texture and fills the mouth with the sweet taste of yam. Add to that the fragrant combination of sauted garlic, minced meat, black fungus and shrimp......mmm! In short, this is a mouth-watering dish with a unique texture and rich flavors.

      9. 可以预先把芋头圆先做好吗?做过多可放入freezer冷藏吗?解冻需要前一天放入冰箱还是直接可从freezer拿出来滚烫?

        1. 坦白说, 我没试过。
          不过我想因该可以,如果你可以个别间隔,不让它们粘成一团,收藏于冰格。然候要煮时,提前解冻。
