廈門花生湯 Sweet Peanut Soup (Xiamen Peanut Soup)

 

 

多年前回老家廈門探親，和幾個弟弟蹲在旅館門口的一個小攤子喝這個花生湯，香甜好喝，後來的幾天每天都到小攤子報到。那個味道許多年不忘。

 

花生蛋白質豐富，擁有好幾種對人體有益的氨基酸，煮湯更是下火美容。天涼的時候來一碗熱熱甜甜的花生湯既可以飽肚，又可以養生喔！

 

Many years back when we first visited our native village back in China, my brothers and I discovered a small stall near the hotel selling local dishes and snacks.

This sweet peanut soup was one of them, I remembered going back for more everyday during our stay. It was just incredibly delicious, unforgettable taste even after so many years...

 

材料：

2 cups/300 克 去皮白肉花生 

100-150克 冰糖 （或適量）

10 杯清水

 

Ingredients：
2 cups/300 gm of white long peanuts
100-150 gm rock sugar（or to taste）
10 cups of water
 

 

 

 

1. 先煮滾一鍋水，倒到盆裏和花生一起泡上1-2個小時。如果買的花生是還沒去紅衣的，熱水泡過後搓搓，就很容易把紅衣搓下。

 

2. 把花生洗幹淨後加10杯清水大火煮滾轉中小火加蓋燉3-5個小時。吃之前加入冰糖根據口味調味即可。

 

注：如果有高壓鍋，可以先用高壓鍋把花生和2杯清水壓8分鍾（汽笛響之後）。再倒入一般的鍋裏加熱水燉煮1-2小時。

 

注二：高壓時間不可太長，時間太長花生會開始泛油，花生湯就會浮著過多的油花，口感和味道都會變差。

 

 

1. Bring a big pot of water to boil, soaked the peanuts in hot water for 1-2 hours, if the peanuts you bought is with skins, the skins could be easily removed after soaking.

2. Wash the peanuts and place it in a heavy bottom cookware with 10 cups of water, bring to boil and turn heat to medium low, simmer for 3-5 hours or until peanuts become soft. Sweeten with rock sugar before serving.

Note：To save time, use a pressure cooker to cook the soaked peanut for 8 minutes after first whistle. And pour it into heavy bottom cookware with HOT WATER to continue cooking for 1-2 hours. 

DO NOT over cook it in pressure cooker as the soup may become greasy.
