The appetite of the elderly is really very different from that of young people, after entering the cold winter, my children's appetite is getting better and better, every day I want to eat some braised pork, plum cabbage button meat, tomato brisket or something to satisfy hunger, some fried food is also very popular with us, after all, the weather is cold, people also need some high calories to resist the cold, but the old couple in my family is not like this.
Cabbage, radish, tofu, potatoes and other cheap ingredients that are common all year round are still their favorite foods, according to their words: "fish produces phlegm, meat makes fire, radish and cabbage keep safe", almost a meal of cabbage and radish radish is not boring, not tired of eating. When the weather is hot, fry cabbage and fried tofu, during this time when the weather is cold, I began to stew cabbage and tofu in a casserole, I feel a little vegetarian and add some pork belly slices, which are hot and stewed in a pot, and the old couple are very happy to eat, and they really look more fragrant than I eat big fish and meat.
In fact, it is very suitable to eat stew in cold weather, eat warm and easy to digest, balanced nutrition, the tofu and pork in this stew can provide rich protein for the body, and the cabbage is rich in vitamins, fiber and water, the three are matched together to let the body get balanced nutrition, although this home-cooked cabbage stewed tofu is not valuable, but it is comfortable to eat smoothly, and the practice is shared with everyone.
Chinese cabbage tofu
Ingredients: Chinese cabbage, tofu, pork belly, green onion, star anise, ginger, dried chilies, sugar, light soy sauce, soy sauce, salt and chicken essence.
1. Cut the cabbage in half, as long as the part of the cabbage leaves, tear it into large pieces by hand, and the remaining cabbage can be kept to make vinegar cabbage, which is also very delicious, wash the pork belly and cut it into thin slices, cut the tofu into pieces, and prepare ginger slices, green onions, star anise, peppercorns and dried chilies.
2. Pour in the pork belly slices in the hot pan with cold oil, stir-fry until the pork belly is slightly yellow, and the fat is precipitated, pour in the ginger slices, star anise, Sichuan pepper, green onion segments and dried chili peppers and pour them into the boiling pot. Because this casserole dish has a short stewing time, remember that when stir-frying the meat slices, it is best to fry them until browned, so that the fat comes out and you won't get tired of eating.
3. Pour in the cabbage, stir-fry continuously until the cabbage becomes slightly soft, add 2 spoons of light soy sauce, a small amount of dark soy sauce, and a little sugar to enhance the freshness, stir-fry evenly.
4. Add hot water that can just submerge the cabbage, here it is noted that the cabbage and tofu will come out of the water after heating, so it is not recommended to add too much water here, otherwise it will be unpalatable if it becomes a soup dish, and boil over high heat.
5. After the water in the casserole is boiled, pour in the tofu cubes, add an appropriate amount of salt, simmer for about 8 minutes, add an appropriate amount of chicken essence to get out of the pot, cover the pot and simmer for two or three minutes.
- Lao Jing said -
This home-cooked cabbage stewed tofu is simple, and the ingredients required are also relatively casual, and you can also add some shrimp skin, vermicelli and other ingredients according to your preferences when stewing, so that the ingredients in the pot are richer and the taste will be better. In winter, the temperature is low, so remember to prepare a small casserole to hold the dishes for a long time, after all, the stew will not taste good when it is cold.
