The characteristics of pot-stewed vegetables are like the frank, straightforward and friendly temperament of hometown people. So I often think that there is also a philosophy of being a man in this pot-stewed dish. So many dishes are stewed in one pot, each with its own taste, color and shape. Although they are all mixed together, you will never treat Chinese cabbage as radish and pork as tofu, but they have indeed changed a lot, because in the process of stewing, they absorbed each other's essence and updated their respective tastes, which can be said to be complementary in color and taste. Therefore, braised dishes also have a good visual effect. They are not inseparable but coexist hand in hand, not erotic but colorful. Although not avant-garde, but very honest.
Cooking pot-stewed vegetables also requires some attention and art, such as using fire, some using fire, some using slow fire, and some using charcoal fire. Let's take this pot for example. Some use woks, aluminum pot, and some use casseroles. Let's take this ingredient as an example. Even onions, garlic and ginger are cut into what shapes and when to put them in, there are many rules and the order is different. Therefore, this pot-stewed dish also has high and low thickness. But no matter how it is cooked, it is a stew without losing its rich flavor. It's just that some people like to make it exquisite, while others are used to making it simple. I like simplicity, which is related to my personality. I think braised dishes pay attention to the blending and reconciliation of tastes, so you don't have to work hard.
