Ingredients: cabbage, vermicelli, onions, ginger, dried chili peppers, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, light soy sauce, pepper, bean paste.

Methods and steps

1. Prepare a small handful of sweet potato vermicelli, then add an appropriate amount of hot water to the vermicelli, soak the sweet potato vermicelli in hot water for half an hour, and then Soak completely.

When soaking vermicelli, some people say to use cold water, while others say to use hot water. The best way is to use hot water to soak the vermicelli. The temperature should not be too high, around 80°C.

2. When the vermicelli is soaked, cut off the roots of the cabbage we bought and then break it into slices. Then wash the cabbage with clean water. After washing the cabbage, separate the cabbage stems and leaves with a knife. Because cabbage leaves are more difficult to cook than cabbage leaves, they should be stir-fried separately so that the texture will be consistent.

After preparing the cabbage sticks, first pat them with a knife to facilitate the flavor, and then slice them at an angle. This way, the cabbage sticks will have the best taste. Then cut the cabbage leaves into pieces in the way you like, and set them aside for later use.

3. Prepare some garlic, dice the garlic, and prepare a small piece of ginger, cut the ginger into thin slices and set aside. Finally prepare a few dried chilies and cut them into chili rings. Stir-fried cabbage, green onions, ginger, and dried chilies are essential condiments. Then prepare a small piece of lean meat and slice the meat for later use. Meat is too expensive these days, so you don’t need to prepare too much.

After the vermicelli is soaked, cut it into smaller pieces with scissors, then dry it and set aside. At the same time, heat the oil in a pan, add a little cooking oil to the pan, and heat the oil to 40% hot.

4. Add the prepared meat slices to the pot first, stir-fry over low heat, stir-fry the meat slices until the surface is slightly yellow, add onions, ginger, and dried chili peppers, stir-fry out the aroma, and then Add a spoonful of bean paste and stir-fry the red oil.

Then we need to put the prepared cabbage into the pot, first stir-fry the cabbage over medium heat until soft, and then season it. Add a spoonful of salt, a little light soy sauce, half a spoonful of dark soy sauce, a spoonful of oyster sauce to the pot, and finally add some pepper and stir-fry evenly. Then put the soaked vermicelli into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water to level with the vermicelli, cover the pot and simmer for three minutes.

5. When the stewing time is up, open the lid and put the cabbage leaves into the pot, stir and stir-fry evenly, cover the lid again and simmer for two minutes. When the cabbage leaves are completely stewed, the food is ready. Ready to serve.

Finally, when taking it out of the pot, remember to add an appropriate amount of sesame oil to enhance the flavor. After cooking, the delicious food will be more attractive. Then put the delicious food on a plate and it is ready to eat.

Tips:

1. When stewing vermicelli with cabbage, remember to soak the vermicelli in hot water, and then separate the cabbage leaves and cabbage into the pot.

2. When making cabbage stewed vermicelli, the oil used is best to use lard, which will taste more fragrant. This is my experience gained from many years of making it.
