On a cold winter day, there's nothing quite like a hot, fragrant bowl of pork vermicelli stewed with cabbage. Not only is this home-cooked dish delicious, but it's also nutritious, making it a must-have on the winter table for many families.
First, we need to prepare some basic ingredients: pork, vermicelli, Chinese cabbage, ginger, garlic, and a moderate amount of seasoning. Pork can be made with pork belly or lean meat, depending on personal taste. It is best to choose sweet potato flour for vermicelli, which has a more elastic taste. Chinese cabbage should choose fresh and tender green leaves, so that the stewed dishes will be more delicious.
Next, cut the pork belly into small pieces and blanch it in hot water to remove the blood and impurities. In the meantime, soak the vermicelli in warm water to soften and set aside. Wash the cabbage and cut it into small pieces. Finely chop the ginger and garlic and set aside.
Then, add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to the pot, add the pork belly pieces after heating, and stir-fry over low heat until the surface of the meat is slightly golden and the fat oozes out. Then add minced ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add an appropriate amount of cooking wine and light soy sauce, and stir-fry evenly.
Next, put the chopped Chinese cabbage into the pot and stir-fry evenly with a spatula to allow the cabbage to fully absorb the fat and aroma of the pork belly. When the cabbage is soft, add an appropriate amount of water, add the soaked vermicelli, and then add an appropriate amount of salt, pepper and chicken essence to taste.
Finally, cover the pot and simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing all the ingredients to fully combine, and simmer until the soup is thick.
A bowl of fragrant pork vermicelli stewed cabbage is ready. This dish is not only rich in taste but also nutritionally balanced. The fat and protein of pork belly complement the carbohydrates of vermicelli and the vitamins of cabbage, making people feel the warmth and deliciousness of home in the cold winter. Whether it's served with a bowl of rice or as a side dish to a hot pot, it's an excellent choice. This winter, let's enjoy this home-cooked delicacy together!
