[食譜] 麻油雞 black sesame oil chicken soup

麻油雞(或稱燒酒雞、雞酒),簡單來說就是使用胡麻油(和老薑)提香的雞湯,主要是用來冬令進補、或是婦女坐月子(胡麻油可幫助子宮收縮)。
Black seasame oil chicken soup is a famous, traditional Chinese cuisine, very popular in Winter days (to warm up body).  It is also recommended for women after menstruation or childbirth.

我一樣是寫比較道地口味的作法,然後會在後面FAQ補充可調整的部份。
In this post, I will make it more authentic, you can also make some changes to fit your preference, I will put some suggestions in the FAQ section.
I strongly recommend you to read the FAQ before start if you have no idea about this dish (do not waste food).

食材Ingredients

2013-10-19 19.25.03
雞肉
Chicken
老薑
Ginger
胡麻油(胡麻油大多是黑芝麻,香油大多是白芝麻,為了怕有人搞混,所以我特別寫胡麻油而不是簡稱麻油)
Black sesame oil
米酒
Rice wine(widely used in many Chinese cuisines)
其他的油,如沙拉油或橄欖油(不要用胡麻或初榨橄欖油)
another kind of oil e.g. oliver oil (never use "Extra virgin", it is for cool dishes)
糖,可有可無
Sugar(optional)


步驟Steps

1. 把老薑外皮刷洗乾淨,切薄片;或是把它拍碎(越薄會越入味)
Clean and slice (or squash) the ginger (the thiner ginger, then stronger flavor of it)


2. 熱鍋以後,單下雞皮逼出雞油,或是直接下沙拉油(如果你雞皮的量不夠或懶得皮肉分離的話)
Fry the chicken skin to get some oil from it. Or just use your oliver oil

7. 放點糖據說可以讓口味溫和一點,不要放鹽!
Add some sugar, NO SALT!

8. 單吃太燥或太無趣的話也可以加點高麗菜、菇類、麵線、枸杞之類的(推薦可加麵線、因為裡面有內建鹽巴)
You can also add other ingredients such as mushrooms, vegetables, etc.

FAQ

Q1:
我不喜歡這麼辣的味道耶?不加水不加鹽?你是喝醉了嗎??
Excuse me, I think it is bland and too hot.  Did I make it wrong? Can I add some salt or spice, or water?

Ans:
傳統補品是沒在加鹽的,而且正統麻油雞如果加水的話應該會被我們這種酒鬼大聲問候喔。不過呢!料理當然是吃的高興最重要,不夠味的話就在起鍋前加鹽,太辣或不喜歡酒味就加點水也是很ok的!
Yes! It is hot! Because it is the authentic one (remember? we eat it to warm up body).  However, you are more than welcome to add salt, reduce the wine, add some water etc.  Just make it tasty and enjoy it!

Q2:
為什麼不是直接用麻油去炒?要用另一種油?
Why you use two kinds of oil?

Ans:
胡麻油不耐高溫,所以要換一種油去炒,不然會苦
Black sesame oil will become bitter in high temperature (as well as the extra virgin oliver oil).
