Our Fast Food - 家常快餐

今天气温零下15度，湿度85%。加上风速感觉像是零下25度。傍晚6点街上已没人影了。7点半车行也冷清下来。Victor决定收拾一下回家了。车上的暖气不好，Victor也没时间修，坐在车里感觉像是坐在冰窟里，手脚冻得发麻，连头都开始疼了。又冷又饥。一路上想着今晚这餐该咋办。9点一刻到家。换了衣服，洗完手，打开冰箱开始搜索。 一个小时不到，我们的家常快餐就准备好了。窗外，又开始下雪了。

蒜香骨

肋排骨                 2磅

蒜蓉                    1杯

生粉                     2 汤勺

盐                       1个半茶匙

菜油                     12 杯

将肋排骨洗净，用纸巾擦干水。把肋排骨，蒜蓉，生粉和盐一起倒入一个大的保鲜袋，将保鲜袋内的所有材料搅匀，将保鲜袋内的空气挤压干净，封口。放入冰箱腌24小时。

预热油：在一个中型锅里倒入菜油。为了安全起见，锅要深一些，这样炸排骨时，油不会渐到外面。高火，将油烧热到华氏400度(大概5-6分钟)。取出排骨，去掉蒜蓉，慢慢的将排骨放入油锅。炸3分钟后，调到中低火，继续炸7分钟。捞起，沥干油。开吃。

蒜香蚝油芥兰苗

水                           一锅

芥兰苗                    1磅

蚝油                       2汤勺

蒜蓉                       半茶匙

油                           2汤勺

盐                           1茶匙

将一锅水烧开，放盐，放入洗净的芥兰苗。煮开后，继续煮2分钟，捞起，上碟。

高火将炒锅预热，倒入油，将油烧滚，关火。放入蒜蓉，蒜蓉炸至金黄，将油和蒜蓉一起倒在芥兰苗上。淋上蚝油。

煲仔丝苗

丝苗米            2杯

水                   2杯半

将丝苗米洗干净，倒入煲仔，加入2杯水。大火烧开，用勺子将煲仔底部粘锅的米刮起。将火调到最小。焖15分钟。(小提示：时常听朋友说，做煲仔饭时老是焦底。要想不焦底，当煲仔饭烧开时，用勺子将煲仔底部粘锅的米刮起。这样底就不会焦了。如果想吃饭焦，再继续焖10分钟。)
