Artificial meat [hereinafter referred to as artificial meat] is made of soybeans. Strictly speaking, it should be that soybeans are heated and extruded to make a bean cake. Also known as soybean protein meat, there are two kinds of finished products: soybean and black bean. It is not the kind of' synthetic meat' that looks like real meat and makes us feel uncomfortable after reading it. In fact, it is glued with starch and bean products.
Today, the turtle also changed its taste, and made a simple home-cooked stew with artificial meat, which was stewed with Chinese cabbage and vermicelli. If you want to eat, let's try it together!
Ingredients: artificial meat, Chinese cabbage, vermicelli, chopped green onion, ginger slices, garlic slices, star anise, braised soy sauce, soy sauce and salt.
Production method:
Step 1: soak the vermicelli in warm water for later use;
[Note in this step: After the vermicelli is soaked, cut it twice in the middle with scissors, so that it is delicious when eating. ]
Step 2: sit in a pot on the fire, pour water into the pot to boil, then cook the artificial meat in exothermic water for one minute, take it out after it softens, take a bath and cut it into strips for later use;
[Note in this step: The artificial meat itself is cooked. We should cook in hot water for a while. First of all, we should boil it soft. Second, remove the dust and impurities that may be on it. In addition, artificial meat made of soybeans tastes very similar to artificial meat made of black beans. So I chose two kinds of cooking today, which not only look good, but also stimulate my appetite. ]
Step 3: wash the cabbage and tear it into pieces by hand for later use; It is best to tear cabbage by hand. The thicker part of Chinese cabbage can be torn into two layers, which is easy to cook.
Step 4: sit on the fire, put cold oil in the hot pot, add onion, ginger, garlic and star anise, and stir-fry until fragrant;
[Note in this step: Usually, when stewing meat, there are more star anise, which can stimulate the flavor of meat. In this stew, artificial meat can taste more like meat through the volatile flavor of star anise. ]
Step 5: add Chinese cabbage, stir fry evenly, add braised soy sauce and soy sauce, stir fry evenly;
Step 6: add vermicelli, then pour a small amount of water along the edge of the pot, then turn the vermicelli under the cabbage to help absorb the soup and stew for 3 minutes;
[Note in this step: You can add a little more water, because vermicelli and artificial meat will absorb water. ]
Step 7: Add artificial meat, add a little salt at the same time, stir evenly with a shovel, then cover and stew for 5 minutes;
[Note in this step: It is best to stir once or twice in the middle to ensure that vermicelli and artificial meat can absorb the soup and prevent sticking to the pot. ]
Step 8: See the vermicelli become transparent, the artificial meat is shiny, and the soup is almost collected. After stirring evenly, take out the pan and put it on the plate.
The characteristics of stewed vermicelli with artificial meat and cabbage are: artificial meat is strong, and there is a feeling of "vegetarian dishes imitating meat". The more you chew the fragrant vermicelli Q, the Chinese cabbage is refreshing and juicy. The taste and taste of the three ingredients complement each other and are very delicious.
① Artificial (protein) meat, yuba and vegetarian chicken.
→ The similarity is that they are all bean products made of soybeans;
→ The difference is:
Artificial (protein) meat is a bean cake after soybean oil is squeezed out. It is dried in the sun, boiled in hot water before eating, and can be cold or stewed with vegetables.
Tofu is made by processing soybean milk, picking out the film formed on the surface and drying it. Soak it before eating, then blanch it with hot water, and then stew it cold or with vegetables and meat.
Vegetarian chicken is cooked with tofu skin (thousands of pieces) tied into rolls, sliced and fried, and cooked with seasoning. It can be cold salad or stewed with meat and mushrooms.
② Choice of vermicelli
Artificial meat is thin and easy to cook, and it is best to choose fine powder for vermicelli, so that the taste of both will be better.
Artificial meat is low in fat and high in protein, which is a green and healthy food. It can also help lower blood pressure and blood lipids. If you like it, you might as well have a try!
