The vegetables I like to eat the most are cabbage. There are many ways to make cabbage, such as stir-fried cabbage with meat stuffing, cabbage with bean sauce, or simply stir-fried cabbage. These are all common and my favorite ways to eat cabbage. Cabbage is delicious and nutritious, and it can also dispel dampness, especially in hot summer, eating cabbage is the best.
Recipe Name: Cabbage with Tomato Sauce
Ingredients: 1 head of cabbage, 1 tomato, 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 tablespoon of salt
Cooking Process:
1Cut the purchased cabbage into pieces by hand or knife, remove the rootstock and cut it into pieces, and put it together. If you don't like the rootstock, you can skip it. For me, I like the rootstock of cabbage because it's crunchy and sweet.
2After cutting the cabbage, put it in a basin, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and soak it for 10-20 minutes, then gently rub the cabbage with your hands, don't use too much force, or else the cabbage will be mashed. When soaking the cabbage, we need to tell you a little trick: it's to wash the dust off the cabbage and disinfect it. This is my little secret.
3Cut the purchased tomatoes with a knife to make a cross shape at the top, then don't just stand there, put half a bowl of water in the pot, boil the water, pour the boiling water into the basin to blanch the tomatoes for 1-2 minutes. At this time, the skin of the tomatoes will be removed.
4Now it's time to process the tomatoes, it's very simple, cut the prepared tomatoes into small pieces, here I need to remind you again, the tomatoes should be cut into smaller pieces, so that it's easier to absorb the flavor. The shape doesn't matter, diced or mashed is fine, just for convenience.
5Prepare the pot, heat it up, evaporate the moisture, add oil, continue to heat up, when the oil is hot, add the prepared tomato dices and stir-fry, here we need to pay attention to the stir-frying process, keep a large fire, so that it's easier to bring out the tomato juice, and the flavor will be more concentrated.
6Slowly, the tomatoes in the pot are releasing juice, add the prepared cabbage at this time, constantly stir-fry while stirring, so that the cabbage can absorb the flavor better. Don't leave the pot or just play with your phone, or else the juice in the pot will dry up or burn the pot.
7When stir-frying, you'll find that the water in the pot is not enough, at this time you can add a little water, adding too much water will lose the original flavor, just cover the lid and steam for 2-3 minutes, which will make it easier to absorb the flavor.
8Now you can smell the aroma in the pot, add chicken broth, taste it, if it's not right, you can adjust it yourself, and then it's ready to be plated and served.
Cooking Tips:
1The cabbage I used has no special requirements, ordinary cabbage or organic cabbage can be used.
2Don't pre-boil the cabbage when making it, or it will easily affect the shape of the cabbage.
3After cutting the cabbage, you need to soak it in salt water for a while, which can remove stains and disinfect.
4Tomatoes need to be blanched in boiling water to remove the skin.
5After cutting the tomatoes into pieces, put them in hot oil and stir-fry for a while to make tomato juice. Pay attention to the pot and don't let it dry out or burn the pot.
