Grilled scallops with Peking white
There are many famous grilled vegetables in Beijing and Jiaodong, such as grilled shark fin, grilled sea cucumber, grilled fish maw, grilled swallow cabbage, grilled abalone, and so on. Of course, these are high-end dishes, and making them at home is not practical for most people!

There are many ways to grill vegetables, including pot steak, steaming steak and roasting steak. Although the methods are different, they are much the same. The requirements are, first of all, to use the soup well, and secondly, the dishes are beautiful and tidy. Because these dishes are all the big dishes or even the first dishes at the banquet, they must give people a feeling of pressing the table.

Among the grilled vegetables, there are also many mid-to-low-end dishes. For example, grilling white meat, grilling fish belly, grilling meat strips, grilling duck strips, grilling cabbage with chestnuts, etc. Today, what I am making for my friends is "Grilled Beijing White", which is also called Chinese cabbage, haha! Because in the past, Beijing's cabbage was very famous, with a green skin and a white and yellow heart on the inside. It tasted crisp, sweet and was quite nutritious. It was the main dish for Beijingers in winter. Only in the past two to three decades, due to the rapid development of Beijing's urban construction, 70% of vegetable farmers have long stopped growing vegetables. Most of the Chinese cabbage on the market is supplied by Hebei and Jiaodong.

Beijing cabbage is also known as "Beijing White". Today, this dish uses scallops, so it is called "Grilled Beijing White with scallops". The specific procedures are as follows;

  • Grilled scallops with Peking white Make Tips

    1. Choose a tender head of napa cabbage, remove three layers of outer stalks, and use the more tender parts. 2. Since this is a braised dish, it is best to cook the cabbage until it is slightly soft; it should be suitable for all ages. 3. This cooking method belongs to pot-braised dishes. You can also thicken the sauce before removing the cabbage from the pot; for presentation, you can remove the cabbage first, arrange it on a plate, and then pour the sauce over it. If making braised cabbage with rich broth, you can omit the dried scallops and simply scald the cabbage with chicken stock before thickening. 4. Sesame oil is not suitable for this dish; only the combination of scallion oil and dried scallops brings out a truly savory and fresh flavor.
