Chicken, tofu and cabbage stew

Chicken, tofu and cabbage stew

Overview

I like to eat hot dishes when the weather is cold. I put a few ingredients into the pot and add stock to stew. It is both a soup and a dish. It is simple and comfortable. In our local area, the traditional winter stew is pork stew with vermicelli. Henan stew with pork vermicelli is not the same way as Northeastern sauerkraut and cabbage. Henan stew is a hodgepodge. Cabbage, tofu, pork, vermicelli, meatballs, crispy meat, etc. can all be thrown into the pot. It is both rice and vegetable. It is very comfortable to eat a bowl of stew and a steamed bun. Big pot stew is easy to make, and it is also suitable for making big pot rice. My daughter often eats it at school, so she naturally eats enough. Sister Crab has made more variations of the stew at home. Today's dish is chicken, cabbage and tofu stewed. The ingredients are very simple and the preparation is very delicious. The chicken is made from chicken breast. Many people think that chicken breast is not delicious without oil. Sister Crab used this method to make it today. It is not sticky at all. After stewing, the soup becomes more delicious. Let’s see how to do it together.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. After cutting, pat the meat pieces flatly with a knife to make the meat pieces softer.

  4. This is to paste the chicken. Sister Crab is too lazy to do it directly in the basin. You can also mix the paste first and pour it into the meat.

  5. After preheating the wok, pour in the oil. Next, you need to fry the meat. The amount of oil should be larger. Sister Crab just needs to "cook" the rapeseed oil, so don't pour too much. Pay attention to the oil in the pot. When it is stirred slightly and there is a slight smoke, put a small piece of food or use a dry chopstick to try it. There will be a strong reaction after the food is put into the pot, and bubbles will appear around the food. Then you can remove the food. Throw them away piece by piece when adding to the pot to avoid sticking together. Don't put too much into one pot, use a colander to push the pot around later. Wait until the food turns brown and hard before taking it out of the pan, take it out and drain the oil and set aside.

  8. Cut the cabbage with a knife. When the vegetables are almost ready to stew, add the cabbage and cook together. Season with salt, white pepper, light soy sauce, and sesame oil. Turn off the heat and add chopped coriander and garlic sprouts.

  9. Serve it with the pot on the table. This kind of pot has a better thermal insulation effect and can prevent the stew from getting cold.
