Cauldron is a famous dish of Han nationality, which is full of color, flavor and taste. It is one of the common dishes in northern China and is very popular in northern China. The ingredients are diverse, nutritious and rich in soup. The origin of the name of this dish, first of all, is that it has a variety of flavors, and secondly, in the early years, everyone ate and worked together, so it was called cauldron dish. The main ingredients are pork, cabbage, tofu, vermicelli and so on.
Second, the common practices of cauldron dishes
1, braised pork and cabbage vermicelli
Chinese cabbage is the most common vegetable in northern winter. Basically, just a little cabbage in winter. When the weather is cold, stew it with pork and vermicelli. Stewed meat is still relatively simple, that is, all the ingredients are processed and then fried in the pot. As long as the lard in the pork is fried, the flavor of this dish is basically there.
Then go into the water and stew with cabbage. When the stew is almost done, you can add tofu and vermicelli. Tofu can be fried or ordinary. The vermicelli should use potato powder or sweet potato powder, which is delicious enough. After it is done, add chopped green onion or coriander, and it is basically done.
2. Stewed pork and white gourd vermicelli
Another common practice is to stew with wax gourd. Winter melon is relatively cheap in summer, and the quantity is relatively large. Half a wax gourd is enough for a group of people. The method is basically the same, and the taste is not worse than that of cabbage. However, wax gourd is different from Chinese cabbage. It belongs to the kind that the more stewed, the more fragrant and spicy. After stewing, sip the hot vermicelli with a mouthful of wax gourd, which can be said to be delicious on earth.
The most important thing is that wax gourd has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, which is suitable for eating in winter. In the north, wax gourd is usually used for stewing in summer, and cabbage is used for stewing in winter.
Step 3 stew chicken
In fact, in addition to pork, you can also consider putting chicken in a large pot, which is equally delicious when stewed. But there is relatively little oil and water, so it is better to put more cooking oil. In addition to cabbage and wax gourd, other dishes can also be put into the cauldron, such as mushrooms, potatoes, beans and so on. , mainly for taste and atmosphere. Generally, when there are many relatives at home, the food is not prepared enough, and other cauldrons will be cooked.
