果實在五月中 長到像手掌大小

Trees bear heavy crops of peaches that measure 2¼-2¾” in diameter.

The tree produces lots of fruit from a young age.

夏天收成

They are the size and shape of a donut,and ; They have white flesh that is soft and juicy, surrounding a non-clinging, easy to remove, pit.

蟠桃又稱扁桃、盤桃是薔薇科李屬植物,也是桃子的一種變種,果實形狀扁平核小、有深溝紋

The skin is light yellow with a red blush. The center is sunken with a small “stone” pit.

果皮呈深黃色,果肉為白色,頂部凹陷形成一個小窩,有一片紅暈,十分香甜且汁多,不但好看,而且好吃。

Self-fruitful. Low Chill. 200 hours. USDA Zone 5-10.

自己授粉,南加州的天氣也很適合栽種

The donut peach tree, also called the pan tao or peento peach, originated in China. Trees were imported to the U.S. and grown here in the 19th century.

原產中國大陸。

Disease-resistant to bacterial leafspot.

抗病力強;基本上 根本不太需要照顧。 蟠桃樹喜陽光和充沛的水分。 冬季修剪,春季疏果,夏季豐收。

below are those too crowded and small fruits that Miloh mom pick and throw away to decompost bin. so that will encourage more bigger and healthy fruits later to pick and eat.

疏果 ; 常常一個季節就要摘下這麼多 還很青澀的小果子。丟進 堆肥桶裡

Donut Peaches are low in acid with a candy-like sweetness and notes of almond.

蟠桃一般甜度雖然只有10-15度,沒有水蜜桃那麼高,但它酸度通常只有0.5%,所以相對來說蠻甜的。然後不論脆的、或是放軟都好吃,也很少吃到酸的。

Their tender skins have little to no fuzz, so there’s no need to peel them unless you want to

皮也很好吃 所以不需要剝皮吃; 看看 野生動物也·搶著吃!

Donut peaches are usually palm size and easy to polish off in a few drippy, delightful bites. Donut peaches are best suited for fresh eating when eaten raw.

拿來直接當水果吃是最適合的 因為甜又多汁

They can be sliced and tossed into green or fruit salads, chopped into salsas, served over cooked meats, or blended into smoothies.

也可以拿來做沙拉;佐料 和 飲料

Have you ever wondered why donut peach has the FLAT shape ?

The peach flat fruit trait is genetically controlled by a single gene at the S locus, but its genetic basis remains unclear. Here, we report a 1.7-Mb chromosomal inversion downstream of a candidate gene encoding OVATE Family Protein, designated PpOFP1, as the causal mutation for the peach flat fruit trait. 【2】

蟠桃之所以長的扁扁的是因為DNA倒位(inversion),造成上游一段與果型相關的基因PpOF2加強表現,這基因在其他的作物上有發現可能會抑制植物細胞的分裂和延長。然後科學家為了確定這個基因真的會造成果實變扁,將這個基因轉到番茄中,發現番茄也變扁了!【1】

在家動手做 Q彈好吃的麵條Homemade noodle

delicious springy noodle you will make it again and again ; 好吃的手擀麵

在家自己做手工麵,可以嘗試以冰水和麵 製成的手工麵條,Q彈有勁;成品可以煮也可以炒,天氣熱拌成涼麵也適合。

Homemade noodle for stir fry is delicious. Use ice cold water to make the dough will turn the noodle springy and chewy !

冷水和麵吸收的水分少,口感更勁道,韌性強、拉力大;很適合炒煮不易爛。

食材 Ingridients:

麵粉,冰水 和 一點點鹽巴。

Flour, ice cold water and little bit salt.

麵粉:水 的比例 = 5 : 2 杯

Ratio for Flour : Water = 5 : 2 Cup

Lovely Miloh take a nap 麥寶睡個午覺 zzz….

作法 instuction

大盆子裡 ,加入麵粉 冰水、鹽拌勻。

In a big bowl, add in all ingridient and mix well to form the dough.

慢慢將麵粉揉成麵糰,用保鮮膜封起來 大約擺半小時

let the dough rest for about half hour.

然後再分成幾個小麵糰;再等個10幾分鐘

split the dough into 6-8 smaller doughs. let them rest for another 10 mins.

切記揉好的麵團需要一定的時間鬆弛,讓麵團得以充分吸收水分,形成好的延展性跟彈性,有利於成型的操作。

接著開始做麵條。取擀麵棍,將麵糰從各個角度向外擀開

roll the dough flat.

將麵糰折三次,灑上少許麵粉;用菜刀開始切麵,根據自己喜歡的粗細度切出麵條。

Fold the dough three times and sprinkle with a little flour; start cutting with a kitchen knife and cut out noodles according to your preferred thickness.

最後撒上少許麵粉,將麵條抓散即可。

sprinkle a little flour and spread the noodles.

如果沒有立刻要煮,就可以放入保鮮袋裡冷藏。

If you don't want to cook it immediately, you can put it in a plastic bag and refrigerate it.

【手工麵的煮法】How you cook homemade noodle:

起一鍋滾水,擺入幾滴油 ;再將麵條稍微抓散開後下鍋。

Bring a pot of boiling water and add a few drops of oil; spread the noodles slightly before placing them in the pot.

再煮幾分鐘後,湯水會再次大滾,此時倒入1碗冷水續煮。

After cooking for a few more minutes, the soup will boil again. At this time, pour in 1 bowl of cold water and continue cooking.

Continue this for 2 times.

第二次再度煮滾後,再倒入1碗冷水續煮,總共加入2碗水,就像煮餃子一樣;這個過程可以讓湯水重複升溫,讓麵條表面與麵心均勻受熱,麵條有Q度。

最後湯水再滾,立刻將麵條撈起,泡入冷水中,瀝乾,即可拌醬或快炒。

At last , bring the soup to a boil again, immediately scoop out the noodles, soak them in cold water, drain, and then mix with sauce or stir-fry.

也很適合做涼麵 good for cold noodle dish too

古早味鹹蛋糕 /電鍋版 戚風蛋糕 Savory Chiffon Cake in Rice Cooker

用電鍋蒸蛋糕 Q彈~ Rice cooker cake is chewy

台式傳統的鹹口味蛋糕,戚風蛋糕鬆軟綿密加上油蔥酥 或肉燥的鹹香。用電鍋來做蒸蛋糕,Q彈又保濕!

savory chiffon cake is a Taiwan ancient taste cake ; Miloh mom try to make this cake in rice cooker , not bake it in the oven instead.

部落格 已經有好幾個 用烤箱做 戚風蛋糕的食譜;所以這個部落格 直接跳過做麵糊的步驟

Will skip how to make the batter since there are already quite a few recipe in Miloh’s blog.

Let’s start.

蛋糕模型內鋪上烘焙紙; 麥寶娘親這次把檸檬皮擺在模型底層。

Miloh mom decdied not to put the lemon zest inside the batter ; she put on the bottom of cook ware instead.

倒入一半麵糊後 ; pour half of batter

撒上適量蔥花、油蔥酥 或是 肉燥 ,肉鬆

put a layer of savory sauce such as oily scallion and meat or dry meat anything you like.

將剩餘的麵糊倒入,再撒上一層鹹口味的料

Pour the rest of batter on top of the meat

蛋糕上蓋上鋁箔紙,鋁箔紙上用牙籤刺幾個個小洞 (洞 不要太大)

wrap foil on top, polk some small holes

電鍋內倒 1.5 – 2杯水, 按下開關加熱,鍋蓋留一個小細縫不要全蓋緊(如果電鍋會一直把鍋蓋震動再蓋上 ;在鍋蓋插一支筷子,讓鍋蓋保留小縫隙),加熱約25 – 30分鐘,跳起後再悶個五分鐘,完成

put 1.5 – 2 cup water into the rice cook, puah cook . try to leave the cover untight by placing a chopstick

蒸好了,拿出來; take it out and set aside

稍微冷卻後再切 ; cut to pieces after cool down

用電鍋蒸的蛋糕,濕度高一點 ,沒有烤的香氣 ,但是比較Q彈一些。

Using rice cooker to make chiffon cake that will turn the cake more dense (less fluffy ) but chewy.

不加料,只用單純的麵糊來蒸就是 電鍋版的 戚風蛋糕~

If you decide not to add any savory sauce, it will be the chiffon cake using rice cooker to steam.

沒有烤箱也能做出好吃蛋糕,試試看電鍋蒸蛋糕吧!

小撇步 Tips:

一定要加上錫箔紙,不然蛋糕會太濕 ;但是戳洞不能太大,所以拿牙籤刺幾個洞即可。

you need to cover the cake by wrapping foil on top,othewise, the cake will be too dense or even not fluffy at all.

Try to use toothpaste to polk the small holes, the holes cannot be too big.

電鍋的鍋蓋也可以不需要留小縫隙,外鍋擺的水可以減少到1 – 1.5杯左右。這樣的口感稍微更濕一點,也不錯。可以自己決定 哪一種比較喜歡。

There is no need to leave a small gap in the lid of the rice cooker, if you do so, you can reduce the water amount you put into the rice cooker.  the cake may taste more dense . try which way you like the cake to turn out. 

鹹的料 也可以直接擺在全部麵糊的最上面;這樣蓬鬆度高一些。麥寶娘親覺得夾層的鹹蛋糕 ,看起來比較好吃的視覺效果:)

you can simply pour all the batter in the cookware, then put a layer of savory sauce on top. this will make the cake litte bit fluffier.

How to prepare the batter reference 做麵糊的過程 請參考如下:

Naan is characterized by its light and slightly fluffy texture and golden-brown spots from the baking process. Eat it plain or with curry / chutney.

饢餅的食譜很多;有用奶油的 橄欖油的;有加入牛奶的 還有優格的。到底那個好吃呢? 麥寶娘親 做了兩種不同的食譜

Miloh sit so well and cannot wait to taste the one with butter

很喜歡吃奶油的麥寶 已經迫不及待地 坐得好好的 ;等待吃個奶油食譜的烤餅

Instructions 作法
  • Bloom yeast: Mix yeast with warm water in a small bowl. leave for 10 minutes until foamy.

先把酵母粉 跟 溫開水 攪拌;等個 大約10分鐘 看到開始發泡 就可以加入食材裡

  • Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients to form the dough: Mix together by hand and bring it together into a ball. No kneading is required. (you can use stand mixer to knead but don’t over knead)

把濕的食材 加入乾的粉食材;手揉材料成麵糰 (也可以用機器攪拌 但不要攪拌太久)

  • Proof 1: Cover the bowl with a wrap, then leave the dough in a warm place until it doubles in size.

麵團擺進去大盆, 盆子上用保鮮膜或蓋子;然後靜置開始進行第一次發酵 直到大到一倍左右

  • Cut into 6 – 8 pieces: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into equal pieces, then shape into balls

拿出來 切成 6-8 等分;揉成小球狀

  • Proof 2: Place balls on a tray or plate. cover loosely with a lightweight tea towel or plastic wrap. Put in a warm place to rise until it increases in size by about half.

擺盆裡;第二次醒麵 直到漲大一半左右

  • Roll out: Place a ball on a lightly-floured work surface, flatten with your hand. Roll out into round flat shape

平面上灑一點麵粉;然後 手壓扁小麵團 再拿桿麵棍桿平

  • Heat skillet: Rub a cast iron skillet with a very light coat of oil using 1/2 tsp oil on a paper towl . turn to Medium heat. no need to add any oil later.

平底鍋塗上薄油(第一片需要,以後就不用再塗油),然後中火熱鍋。

  • Cook naan: Place a naan dough in the skillet and cook until the surface get bubbly. Flip then cook the other side until the bubbles become deep golden brown.

放到鍋上烙,表面開始出現大大小小的泡泡時,就可以翻面了; 泡泡烙成金黃/咖啡色 就好了。

先烙了幾個後 可以分一些給麥寶吃的;再烙幾個 加上蔥花 奶油香蒜的

  • Cook garlic/scallion naan: springkle the scallion and roll into the dough flat. If you like some garlic with butter, grind some garlic into butter then add on top of the roll bread before you cook it.

在桿好的麵皮上,灑上蔥花 再桿一次;然後把蒜泥和奶油混合好 刷在麵皮上 就可以入鍋烙了。 香~~

Serve hot 趁熱吃 好好吃

fluffy and chewy, so delicious even just eat it plain .

迷人的小麥香氣,就算是不沾上任何醬汁或配菜,夠好吃的了

小撇步 Tips:

這麵糰是濕度比較高的; 可以先把手弄溼 拿出發酵後的麵糰 才不會太黏手;然後在桿麵時 灑上一些麵粉 比較好桿麵平。

用高筋麵粉會比較好吃;Bread flour taste better than all purpose

奶油 牛奶的食譜 : 泡泡比較大,比較鬆軟綿密一點

Buter Milk recipe: the bubble is bigger and fluffy

優格的食譜:吃起來 比較紮實一點

如果沒有鐵鑄鍋 ;一般的平底鍋也可以。 火候自己做個幾片 應該就可以拿捏。 蔥餅 因為桿得比較薄, 所以用 中小火就可以 免得燒焦。
