Ingredients
Steps
-
Chop the tomatoes into small slices or small pieces. No knife skills are required at all, but they must be small.
-
Cut the green pepper into short shreds, actually for color matching, you can skip it. If you like spicy food, you can also use hot pepper. It’s totally a personal preference!
-
Bring the water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
-
After the water boils, put the chopped cauliflower in and blanch it. Generally speaking, blanching for 3 minutes is enough. If there are elderly people or babies at home and you want it to be softer, you can extend it to 4-5 minutes, but it should be at least 2 minutes wide, otherwise the cauliflower will not be cooked!
-
While the cauliflower is blanching, let's make a bowl of sauce - mince the onion and garlic, add oil, tomato sauce, five-spice powder, light soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar and set aside.
-
Heat the pot on the fire. It doesn't need to be so hot as to smoke. When it's a little hot, pour the meat filling in. (You read that right, the meat filling is indeed put directly, without adding fats such as peanut oil. As for the meat filling, any meat can be used. I used chopped mutton slices leftover from the hot pot yesterday ~ Beef, mutton, pork belly... It is best not to use chicken, because the taste is not good!)
-
After the meat stuffing is fried until it changes color and the fat oozes out, add a little five-spice powder to remove the smell.
-
Then add the chopped tomatoes, turn the heat to medium and stir-fry slowly.
-
The tomatoes need to be fried for a while. When frying, use a spatula to keep pressing. Finally, the tomatoes will be fried like fruit juice.
-
After the tomatoes are fried into tomato puree, add the bowl of juice you just prepared, and then reduce the heat to a low level to allow them to fully blend in with the flavor.
-
Add salt to the tomato juice, then add shredded green peppers and blanched cauliflower.
-
Because the cauliflower is already cooked, coat the cauliflower with the rich sauce and mix all the ingredients evenly before serving.
