Torn cabbage alongside ruby fermented beancurd 腐乳手撕包菜

Welcome To RecipesHitz.blogspot.com | I stimulate got no fourth dimension to post whatever recipes lately, life was hectic I was working vi - seven days a week.  This spider web log has been neglected hopefully you lot did non immature adult woman me much :).

Today's recipe is vegetarian, a inexpensive together with cheerful stir fried cabbage amongst a rather odd sauce. The surreptitious element is fermented cherry beancurd or hong fu ru 红腐乳. This recipe looks Sichuanese merely I am quite certain it is from Beijing.

Fermented beancurd is Chinese cheese. There are diverse types. All quite salty.
  • Red type, the deep color is natural from cherry rice yeast. Another cite for 'hong fu ru' is 'mei gui fu ru 玫瑰腐乳' or rose fu ru. Cantonese usually called hong fu ru equally 'nam yue' 南乳. Red fermented beancurd or hong fu ru is usually used for cooking similar meat stews or hong shao rou. 
  • The white fu ru is creamier roughly stimulate got added minced chilli and/or sesame oil. Normally eaten equally a condiment amongst rice or patently rice congee or juk. Cantonese similar to purpose it equally a sauce amongst chilli together with garlic to stir nipper kangkong or spinach. 
  • Another type of fermented beancurd is the stinky blue light-green 1 which smells actually truly bad. I can't stand upwards the smell.
This is the hong fu ru I usually used.
Using hong fu ru for cabbage is rather odd merely it works. This recipe is similar to Chinese foliage amongst vinegar sauce, alone less abrupt together with to a greater extent than savoury (umami) amongst the hong fu ru. The cabbage is usually non cutting yesteryear knife merely intermission or torn into modest pieces. I was told vehement the cabbage instead of cutting volition gustatory modality better, I am non also convinced merely practise equally I was told it's upwards to you lot if you lot prefer to cutting it.  Cabbage is quite patently merely it absorbs all the squeamish fragrance from the spices together with the hong fu ru gives it a lovely flavour. I similar this recipe promise you lot volition endeavour together with similar it too.
