[美國偽中式料理]
我和C去年帶樹寶自助西北華盛頓州的時候,C當時忽然想喝中式熱湯。於是我們在荒山野嶺之地,吃了一個完全不道地的偽中式料理。純到連我請他不加味精時(因為樹寶過敏),一半以上的菜全都不能點囧。
美國人的中式料理口味和亞洲的其實差十萬八千里遠,甚至很多菜色在亞洲完全不會碰到。如何知道這間中式餐廳是開給美國人而不是給海外遊子思鄉用的?以下是我個人發現的幾個小小指標:春捲的餅皮比餡厚、味道上面死甜死鹹二選一、所有東西都要加味精,吃完之後會讓你喝一個下午的水,跑一個晚上的廁所。
除此之外,一定要有這幾道菜:
🥢甜酸類Orange Chicken、Sweet & Sour Chicken、General Tso Chicken:甜酸的酸字完全是裝飾用,炸過的雞肉淋上各種濃的化不開的黃澄紅醬汁,假掰一點還有Mango Chicken(芒果雞到底是甚麼鬼?對我來說台灣的愛文芒果光單吃就是最棒的甜點,切塊搭配鹹的料理根本是褻瀆它)。
🥢木須雞豬牛類Moo Shu:將肉類、美式高麗菜和胡蘿蔔一同和甜麵醬拌炒,再加上多餘的甜麵醬配薄餅吃。
🥢亞洲式或中式沙拉Asian/Chinese Salad:普通沙拉(生菜加番茄)加上橘子罐頭、香蔥和香菜、一定要灑炸麵條或是炸餛飩條,外加少數沒有起司的沙拉醬。
🥢幸運餅乾Fortune Cookie:在微甜的餅乾裡包一個幸運條,裡面會講一些正(唬)能(爛)量(的)廢話,比如你離你的財富不遠了、你將在不久的將來得到更多的掌聲、找一個安靜的地方思索未來… 等等。
🥢雜碎Chop Suey:我光是聽到名字就不想點,基本上就是把木須料理拿掉甜麵醬來乾炒便是。
🥢不是炒麵的炒麵Chow Mein:又鹹又甜的麵,麵條通常偏乾又沒啥嚼勁,每次我只要吃一口就會想念台灣巷口的任何一家炒麵。
想要體驗美國的不道地中式料理,可以考慮知名連鎖店家包括PF Chang(高級)或Panda Express(外帶)。但我承認我被洛杉磯多元的亞洲美食給寵壞了,除非有人給我禮卷又不能轉送,不然絕對不碰這兩家。
你在美國吃過偽中式料理嗎?有沒有覺得特別恐怖或是特別驚艷?留言來跟我分享一下吧!
PS…圖為那家華盛頓中式料理店家的菜餚,人家去Forks都是衝著暮光之城去吃貝拉三明治貝拉漢堡貝拉沙拉,只有我們去吃沒有味精的偽中式料理(菸)。
PPS...感謝各位的支持和響應,我的新書《美國女子學》不但上了博客來新書榜24名,也連帶進了暢銷榜的62名!同時也提醒有買書的各位,寫書評抽帆布包的活動還在進行,歡迎有興趣的朋友共襄盛舉:bit.ly/2FX65MV!

最近在看一本很好看的書《雜碎:美國中餐文化史》("Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States"),作者是美國的飲食歷史學家Andrew Coe,寫過《Foie Gras: A Passion》(1999)、《A Square Meal: A Culinary History of the Great Depression》(2016)等書。此外,他也出現在之前寫《湘菜之兵法》時的美食記錄片《尋找左宗棠》(”Search for general Tso”,因為這道菜不是湖南菜)。
這本《雜碎:美國中餐文化史》則是出版於2009年,進入了美國飲食專業獎The James Beard Foundation Awards的決選名單中,並被美國金融時報選為年度最佳飲食書。
在這本書中有一段提到了李鴻章在1896年春天訪問美國的故事,並引用當時的《布魯克林鷹報》的報導:「女人如果想嚐嚐新奇的餐點,可以參考本報的建議:李鴻章的廚師的拿手好菜是道地的中國菜,中國的偉大政治家造訪紐約期間,住在華爾道夫飯店,華爾道夫飯店幫他準備的都是道地的中國菜,華爾道夫飯店提供最道地的中國菜。」
李鴻章是安徽合肥人,而他所宴請美國人的這道菜就是我之前在《徽菜之兵法》中的最後一部份介紹過的「李鴻章大雜燴」。當時因為他是奉旨先到俄國參加皇尼古拉二世的加冕典禮,然後再順道訪問歐美。一路上吃了兩個多月的西餐後胃口都沒了,於是一到美國就叫使館的廚師用中國徽菜宴請美國賓客。但因為太好吃了,受邀的賓客洋人吃到欲罷不能,吃到料都快沒了。這時廚師只好用所剩海鮮等剩下來的材料混合下鍋煮,結果洋人吃了之後也都讚賞有佳,而問道菜的菜名時,李鴻章用合肥話說「好吃多吃」,竟被誤為「Hotchpotch」,從而風靡美國。後來便被稱作「李鴻章大雜燴」 (LiHongzhang Assorted Dish)。但這其實應該是李鴻章吩咐隨行廚師將在當地購來的蔬菜、肉食等,按照中國菜餚的烹製方法所做的「一鍋煮」。
除此之外,《徽菜之兵法》中,還介紹了另外一道安徽名菜「肥西老母雞湯」和一則關於李鴻章的趣事:「肥西老母雞湯」雖然只是用當地土雞小火慢燉而成的湯,但因為原料非常地好,因此不需要加入任何其它材料就湯鮮肉嫩,所以當地就有方言說,「從肥東到肥西,買了一隻老母雞。」而由於小火慢燉的老母雞湯的其中雞的油全部都被熬了出來,凝結在湯的表層,因此有一個和李鴻章有關的冰淇淋與老母雞湯的故事。話說當年李鴻章第一次出國訪問,外國友人請他吃冰淇淋,他看到冰淇淋冒著白煙以為很燙,便用嘴吹了吹,結果外國人看著就忍不住哄堂大笑。李鴻章心裡雖然生氣,可是又不能發怒。後來他請隨行的廚師烹煮了一鍋老母雞湯請外國人喝。經過細火慢燉老母雞湯,正如前言,雞的油分全都熬出來在湯的表面凝為厚厚一層。外國人一看,以為是冷湯,便一次喝了一大口,結果被燙得吱哇怪叫,也就算是報了冰淇淋之仇。

The first 1000 people to click the link will get a free trial of Skillshare’s Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/xiaomanyc11201 So this week I tipped $5,000 at some of my absolute favorite Chinese takeout spots in New York City. The whole restaurant industry in New York City has been devastated by COVID and Chinese restaurants have been particularly hard-hit. So I wanted to give them a nice tip to show them how much we love and support them here at Xiaomanyc! Especially because it's Chinese New Year and it's a perfect time to give these restaurants some nice red envelopes. If you would like to get out there and support these NYC restaurants yourself, here are links to their pages on Yelp. Most are located in NYC’s Manhattan Chinatown. They are all awesome and highly recommended!

Who is General Tso?? Beats me but when I was in the U.S., his style of sweet & sour chicken was widely available everywhere. I kinda miss it so asked Roland to cook this at home.
