胡椒粉少许。

制法:
(1)干粉丝用清水浸软,切断,用热水焗软,放在碟上。
(2)青蚝洗净,用汆水料汆水。
(3)豆腐切粒、沥干水分,下热油锅煎香。
(4)锅烧热,加 1/2 汤匙生油,下干葱、蒜子、红椒和葱爆香,加入甜面酱,烹入白酒,再加入调味料和其他材料,煮2~3分钟(汁不宜太多),即成。

心得:
(1)可改用豉汁、豆瓣酱或镇江醋作调味料。
(2)粉丝分量不宜太多,以免把酱汁全吸干。

大厨小记:
选购青蚝时,不宜采用广东货,那处水质易受污染,其肉质带韧,烹熟后变小,外观较差。建议采用新西兰的冰鲜青蚝,效果比较理想,既卫生又干净。

**Stir-Fried Green Mussels with Vermicelli and Sweet Bean Sauce**

**Ingredients**:
- 160g New Zealand green mussels
- 1 block tofu (about 300g)
- 40g dried vermicelli noodles (soaked until soft)
- 2 shallots (coarsely chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (coarsely chopped)
- 1 red chili (coarsely chopped)
- 1 green onion (coarsely chopped)
- 1 tbsp sweet bean sauce (甜面酱)
- 1 tsp fried minced garlic (see Semi-finished Materials and Sauce Preparation)
- A splash of Chinese cooking wine
- Cooking oil (as needed)

**Blanching Liquid**:
- Ginger juice, cooking wine, and water (as needed)

**Seasonings**:
- ⅓ tsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup water
- A dash of sesame oil
- A dash of white pepper

**Instructions**:
1. **Prepare Vermicelli**:
- Soak dried vermicelli in water until soft. Cut into shorter strands, then steep in hot water until tender. Drain and spread on a serving plate.

2. **Blanch Mussels**:
- Clean green mussels thoroughly. Blanch in the ginger-wine-water mixture, then drain.

3. **Cook Tofu**:
- Cut tofu into cubes and pat dry. Pan-fry in hot oil until golden. Set aside.

4. **Stir-Fry**:
- Heat ½ tbsp oil in a wok. Sauté shallots, garlic, red chili, and green onion until fragrant.
- Add sweet bean sauce and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Deglaze with cooking wine.
- Add seasonings, blanched mussels, tofu, and vermicelli. Toss gently for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly (avoid excess liquid). Serve immediately.

**Tips**:
1. **Sauce Variations**: Substitute sweet bean sauce with fermented black bean sauce, spicy bean paste, or Zhenjiang vinegar.
2. **Noodle Note**: Use vermicelli sparingly to prevent it from absorbing all the sauce.
3. **Mussel Swap**: Replace green mussels with fresh U.S. oysters if preferred.
4. **Salt Caution**: Sweet bean sauce is salty—adjust seasoning carefully to avoid over-salting.

**Chef’s Notes**:
- **Mussel Quality**: Avoid mussels from Guangdong due to potential water pollution, which results in tough texture and shrinkage during cooking. Opt for fresh-frozen New Zealand green mussels for plump, clean, and flavorful results.

**Key Terms**:
- **Sweet Bean Sauce (甜面酱)**: A thick, savory-sweet condiment made from fermented wheat flour.
