When I was a kid, most of the winter vegetables at home were cabbage, which made me tired of eating them.
In order to satisfy our taste, my mother will make cabbage into various kinds.
Generally speaking, it is divided into three types: vinegar cabbage for stir-frying, cabbage and tofu soup for stew, and cabbage buns for steaming.
1. Vinegar cabbage in vinegar is a common method for stir-frying. You can either vinegar cabbage or vinegar shredded potatoes. The taste is still very refreshing.
The method is actually very simple. Separate the prepared cabbage sticks and cabbage leaves. This dish mainly uses the cabbage sticks.
You can choose the shape according to your own preferences. Some people like thin slices, while others like long and thin strips. It has no impact on the taste of the dish.
The other is to adjust the vinegar sauce. Generally, I will add a spoonful of white vinegar, a spoonful of sugar, and a spoonful of salt. You can choose according to your taste.
When the oil is 50% hot, add chili peppers and chopped green onions and saute until fragrant, then add cabbage and stir-fry.
After one minute, pour in the prepared sauce, and the cabbage is ready to serve.
2. Cabbage and Tofu Soup: Cabbage contains a lot of vitamins, and tofu contains a lot of protein. When these two foods are paired together, the nutrition is definitely enough.
It is recommended to cut the tofu into slices first and then soak it in salt water for a while to prevent the tofu from falling apart.
Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, add onions, ginger and other seasonings and bring to a boil, then add the tofu.
It is recommended to simmer the tofu for two minutes before adding the cabbage, because the longer the tofu is stewed, the better it tastes.
Then garnish with pepper, chopped green onion and other seasonings, and that’s it.
Families with the conditions can buy a fish head, which will taste more delicious.
3. Steamed cabbage buns Steamed cabbage buns taste better and can be regarded as a kind of pickle.
The simpler way is to cook the cabbage first and then eat it directly with the sauce or sauce.
A more complicated way is to wrap the steamed cabbage leaves with tofu (dried beans, ham, carrots) and lean meat, steam them and eat them with seasonings.
The preparation of the sauce is also very simple, just mix and stir with light soy sauce and sesame oil.
