培根炖甘蓝

 

来美国之后,第一次做甘蓝(大头菜)的时候,着实的很费了一点劲。美式甘蓝叶子很厚,平常炒菜那是根本就不用想。后来发现人家美国人不用炒的,人家是炖的!

材料:培根炖甘蓝

甘蓝半颗,洋葱半头,鸡汤/水,培根碎少许,盐、黑胡椒随意。

做法:

1、洋葱切小丁。

2、甘蓝切块,大概 2-3 公分见方的样子。

3、炒锅倒油烧热,中大火把洋葱炒软。

4、甘蓝倒进锅,翻炒几分钟,加盐和黑胡椒调味,继续翻炒到甘蓝开始略微出水。

5、等甘蓝开始有点缩水,倒入鸡汤/水,没过大半甘蓝即可。

我不是很喜欢汤汤水水的菜,所以一向都不加太多的汤汁在菜里。不介意的人,水可以没过甘蓝。

6、大火烧开之后,小火炖 10 分钟。

7、加入培根碎,翻拌均匀,继续炖 10 分钟。

8、翻一次锅,再炖 5-10 分钟即可出锅。

Steamed Cabbage with Bacon and Onion

 

Steamed Cabbage with Bacon and OnionAmerican cabbage is different from Chinese ones. Cabbage leaves in Chinese version are much thinner and are easier to stir fry. I had a hard time to cook cabbage when I first moved here. This is the first cabbage dish in American version I learned here.

Ingredients:Steamed Cabbage with Bacon and Onion

cabbage, onion, bacon, chicken broth/water, salt and pepper to taste

I cooked half of the cabbage, so I used half of the onion in the picture.

Method:

1. Chop onion to small pieces, set aside.Steamed Cabbage with Bacon and Onion

2. Chop cabbage to cubes, set aside.

3. Heat up skillet, add cooking oil, set to medium high heat, cook onion for several minutes until tender.

4. Add cabbage to skillet, cook for about 3 minutes, add salt and pepper, keep stirring until cabbage start sweating.Steamed Cabbage with Bacon and Onion

5. Cook cabbage until it start shrinking, add chicken broth/water until halfway cover cabbage. Bring broth to boil on high heat, then simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.

I don’t like to have too much juice in dish, so I don’t really pour too much broth. If you like to have more juice, you can add water/broth until cabbage are fully covered.Steamed Cabbage with Bacon and Onion

6. Add bacon, stir, simmer for another 10 minutes.

7. Stir well, simmer for another 10 minutes.

8. Serve hot.
