做法
- 把猪肩肉与五香粉、酱油、鱼露、蜂蜜、绍兴酒、大蒜和红葱头腌4小时。五香腌料是会安受中国影响的标志。
- 把腌过的猪肉在厚锅中以中高火煎6分钟至金黄。加高汤、冰糖和剩余腌料。盖盖炖50分钟至猪肉软嫩。
- 把猪肉捞出静置10分钟;切薄片。把烹饪汁开盖收5分钟至糖浆——这是cao lau的釉。
- 炸米皮粒:把米皮切成4厘米方块,在180°C油炸10秒至膨胀变浅金。在沥油架上沥干——这是脆配料,不是可选的。
- 在不加盐的水中煮cao lau面90秒(新鲜)或4分钟(替代品)。沥干分到深碗中。淋2大勺收浓的烹饪汁裹住面——cao lau是上釉,而非汤底面。
- 每碗顶上加切片猪肉、一把豆芽、香草叶和大量炸米皮粒。配青柠角和切片辣椒上桌。食客在吃前彻底拌匀;面应被釉裹得油亮。

文化背景
Cao lau是会安独有的——当地人坚持面只能用旧城古井Ba Le的水和特定当地树的碱水做。无论化学是否经得起科学检验,会安外做的面就是不一样。这道菜以追溯会安港口城市历史的方式叠加中式(五香猪肉)、日式(可能源自16世纪日本商人的耐嚼面条质地)和越南影响。
