奔跑的五花肉 炎炎夏日 The Running Pork Bellies Hot, hot Summer days!

奔跑的五花肉  佚名

炎炎夏日,躺在床上,红烧!

铺张凉席,铁板烧!
下了床后,清蒸!
出去一趟,爆炒!
游了个泳,水煮!
回来路上,生煎!
进了家门,回锅!


親們天,39度,明天40度,
大家出门注意要翻边,注意火候,
带上孜然 (1),辣椒粉,千万莫烤糊了。

我们是奔跑的五花肉,我们为自己带盐! 



The Running Pork Bellies
-- by Anon

Hot, hot Summer days!

Lying in bed, 
We are grilled (this way)!

Roll out a cool mat,

Teppanyaki that's! 

Get out of bed,

We are steamed (like that)!

Going outside,

Stir fried!

Swimming about,

We are poached!

Returning home,

We are grilled!

Back through the door,
We are fried once more!

My friends (numerous),

Today is 39 degrees Celsius;
Tomorrow, forty will be.
When you are out -- you see --
Remember to turn o'er the side,
Don't overcook,  do keep in mind.
Your spice, pepper -- don't forget;
Ne'er burn your food, important that's.

We are pork bellies running,

Our own liquid salt we're bringing.

 (1) from wikipedia:

孜然(學名:Cuminum cyminum),为伞形科孜然芹属(Cuminum cyminum)1年生或2年生草本植物枯茗的果实。“孜然”音譯自维吾尔语(维吾尔语:زىرە Zire),中国是孜然的主要產地。孜然并不是小茴香。

孜然 是除了胡椒以外的世界第二大调味品,不仅历史悠久,还有很高的药用价值。它主要用于调味、提取香料等,是烧、烤食品常用的上等佐料,口感风味极为独特,富有油性,气味芳香而浓烈。
