Every winter, hot pot and casserole restaurants in old Beijing are particularly popular, especially old restaurants such as Casserole House and Donglaishun, which generally have to queue up for meals on weekends. <br />Casserole dishes, like hot pot, are the first choice for nourishing and warming the body in winter. I feel that casserole is more affordable in comparison. In the cold winter, a pot of casserole is paired with a bowl of rice. Even soup and vegetables are available, and it is very comfortable to eat. <br />The famous "Casserole House" dishes in old Beijing are divided into dozens of types. For example, casserole meatballs, casserole chicken nuggets, casserole white meat, casserole assorted and three delicacies are all very popular. The one I made today is also very popular, called "Casserole Tofu". <br />No matter which casserole dish it is, it is mostly a mixture of meat and vegetables, and it cannot be separated from Chinese cabbage or pickled cabbage. When paired with some vermicelli and the main ingredients, it is nutritious and delicious. <br />Casseroles are generally made with bone soup or chicken soup. They don't require much seasoning. They just use salt, pepper and a little rice wine. It's very simple. If you don't have bone soup or chicken soup at home, it's okay to season it with water, but the more vegetarian casseroles will taste much worse without bone soup! Today's "casserole tofu" is made from bone soup. The method is as follows;
A few days ago, my mother-in-law came to my house and bought me a big piece of Chinese cabbage. Maybe it was because my mother-in-law had been making spicy cabbage for more than 20 years and had a special liking for cabbage. After buying such a big piece, I felt like a three-year-old child squatting there. At that time, I was very doubtful how such a big cabbage tree could be sold. I have been in South Korea for a whole year. I don't know anything else, but I know a lot about mixing vegetables. Today, I'll make you a spicy cabbage that we can't leave every day. When the spicy cabbage is fermented, eat some every day. It's good for us. The intestines are very good. <br />This time I only have one cabbage. I am not going to pickle the whole tree, but I will break it into large pieces. I will only cook the whole tree when there are a lot of cabbages. This time, I can eat it as soon as it is cooked. When it is freshly cooked, it will taste delicious. When it is fermented for a long time, the taste will turn sour again. It will be very refreshing to eat at that time, especially when it is accompanied by tofu that has a cold spot. You can also make soup, pancakes, fried rice, and stir-fried vegetables. In general, spicy cabbage has many advantages.
