引言:初见朴麟顺(In Sonn Park)女士,根本看不出她66岁的真实年龄,只见她皮肤紧致,脸上几乎没有皱纹。与其他妆容精致的韩国女士相比,朴女士不施粉黛。问及她有甚么保养秘方,朴女士说:「几十年来,我吃的都是健康营养的全天然食材。现在我想把这些健康美味跟更多的朋友们分享。」
曼哈顿韩国城的dadam餐厅,以提供健康、新鲜的韩国料理为主,老板朴麟顺女士有近20年的餐饮经验,熟谙各种食材的健康营养功效。她亲手制作的美味完全不用味精,而是选用天然食材调味与调色,店内主打的「手工三色面」就是用胡萝卜、薄荷、海带根等添加到面粉中制作而成。
谈及健康美食,朴老板如数家珍。原来,朴老板家族有癌症病史,母亲50多岁时因癌症病故,因此她对健康饮食尤为关注。朴老板介绍说:「以前身体不好,总是起水泡,后来经常吃海带根,渐渐不再起了,医生说已经产生抗体了。后来查询资料,发现海带根有很多好处,不仅可以快速清理身体,对皮肤也很有好处。所以我在很多菜肴里都用海带根做配料食材。」
薯仔三色面:手工制作 胡萝卜薄荷配色
dadam餐厅出品的汤面都是手工制作的,主要有三种口味:薯仔三色面、全麦牛蒡面和全麦海带根面。晶莹剔透的薯仔三色面一出锅,香气诱人,乳白色、橙色、淡绿色的面条搭配在一起赏心悦目,再配上薯仔粉调制的浓郁汤汁,色、香、味俱全。吃一口面,劲道有味,喝一口汤,满口余香。朴老板介绍说:「看起来普通的面,其实里面添加了很多健康成分,橙色的面是添加了胡萝卜汁,淡绿色的面是添加了薄荷汁。全麦牛蒡面和海带根面,则是将牛蒡和海带根磨碎后和面粉和在一起制作而成。」
独创菜肴:奶酪炒鱿鱼配三色水晶年糕
这道奶酪炒鱿鱼可是朴老板自创的一道美味。辣炒鱿鱼在其他韩餐厅很普遍,但是配上奶酪可谓独出心裁。辛辣的口感再添加一丝奶香,很是绝妙。再配上红、绿、白三色的水晶年糕,彰显了浓郁的韩国特色。一口年糕、一口鱿鱼,甜、香、辣好滋味,在口中融合交汇,这种美妙的体验绝对让你欲罢不能。
Healthy and Hand-made, A Unique and Natural Take on Korean Food
Dadam Restaurant in Manhattan’s Korea Town bills itself as a purveyor of healthy, fresh Korean dishes. With nearly 20 years of catering experience, owner Ms. In Sonn Park is an expert in preparing a variety of healthy ingredients. Her handmade delicacies employ natural ingredients for seasoning and color, with no trace of MSG to be found anywhere in her kitchen.
Ms. Park’s fascination with healthy food stems from necessity: her mother passed away at 50 years of age due to cancer, so she became particularly concerned about healthy eating. “I used to have a number of ailments. I would get these blisters. I started to eat kelp root. Gradually these blisters went away. My doctor told me that I had built up immunity. Eventually I learned that kelp root has many nutritional benefits. It could quickly cleanse the body of toxins; it is also good for the skin. So I use kelp as ingredient in many dishes.”
Indeed, by looking at Ms. Park, there is nary a wrinkle of her face. One can hardly tell she’s 66 years old! She attributes her youthful appearance to her healthy diet of natural ingredients.
Tri-color Potato Noodle
All of the noodle at dadam are made by hand. They offer three kinds of noodles: potato tri-color noodle, whole wheat burdock noodles and whole wheat kelp root noodle. The
translucent, orange, cream and green strands of potato noodle really attract attention, and they are served in an enticing, aromatic broth. In the mouth, the noodle is chewy and flavorful; and the rich broth lingers on your palate with its fragrance.
"This may appear to be an ordinary bowl of noodle, but it contains a lot of healthy ingredients,” Ms. Park points out. “The orange noodle is colored with carrot; the green noodle is colored with mint. As for burdock and kelp root noodles, we grind the roots of burdock and kelp roots to mix them with wheat flour.”
A dadam Creation: Cheese Sautéed Squid with Three Color Crystal Rice Cake
While spicy squid is a common Korea dish, Ms. Park added her unique twist with the addition of cheese. The taste of cheese moderates the spiciness. Putting the squid and the rice cake in your mouth, you get to simultaneously experience spicy, sweet and fragrance. It is quite a wonderful sensation.
