Hello, everyone. The weather is getting colder. Hurry up and get it for your family.
This steaming cabbage and tofu bun. Okay, now follow my video to learn how I make it.
First, we prepare a piece of fresh tofu and a small cabbage. I'm using an older type of tofu today.
First, we cut the old tofu into large thick slices, then cut them into long strips.
Finally, we cut it into small square pieces, into small square pieces. After cutting,
we first put the tofu in a plate for later use. First, cut off a little of the root of the cabbage,
then take out an appropriate amount of fresh cabbage leaves. Next, we will wash the cabbage.
Wash the cabbage. Next, we will make a knife cut. We can directly cut it into small sections.
After all are cut, first put them in a plate for later use. We prepare a frying pan.
Add a little oil to the pan. Heat the oil and then put the tofu blocks into the pot.
Fry it over low heat. When we are frying the tofu, we must turn down the heat and fry it slowly.
Don't rush it. Cook it over low heat for a while. During the frying process, gently shake the iron
pan to let each piece of tofu can evenly contact the bottom fire. To heat it evenly, we can fry it
slowly over low heat for two or three minutes. When the bottom is golden brown, turn it over
with chopsticks and fry the other side as well. After flipping it and fry the bottom until slightly
golden brown, then we first take out the fried tofu. Okay, next we'll start a new pot. Add minced
garlic and stir fry over low heat. Stir fry the spices until fragrant. After stir frying the spices
until fragrant, we add the cleaned cabbage. Stir fry it quickly over high heat and stir fry it
quickly. Stir fry the cabbage until it becomes soft. After stir frying the cabbage until fragrant,
then put the fried tofu back into the pot. Then add an appropriate amount of soup. Okay,
let's start seasoning. Add an appropriate amount of salt and a little chicken essence
and a little sugar to enhance the freshness. Then add some oyster sauce, a little soy sauce.
After seasoning, we use a spatula to gently stir it to fully dissolve the seasonings to make the
tofu more flavorful and delicious. Here we need to simmer it for a while to let the flavors of
all the ingredients and the flavor of the seasonings fully blend together. Dear family,

Thank you here. Thank you for your long-term support and encouragement. We will cook the
tofu for about three minutes. Add a little water starch to it to make a thin sauce. This sauce
doesn't need to be too thick, just a thin layer. After adding the water starch to the pot,
quickly push and disperse it with a spatula to fully dissolve it. After thickening,
we add a little sesame oil to it and then continue to stir it and stir it evenly. The little sesame
oil added at this time can play a role in enhancing the color and brightness. Next,
put it in a clay pot. The weather is getting colder and colder. It's best to use a clay pot
to keep it warm. Then we add a little scallion on top and red peppers for decoration. Wow,
it smells so good. It smells very appetizing. Okay, that's all for today's video. If you like it,
