Braised Chinese Cabbage with Chestnuts

Introduction:

"Grilled cabbage with chestnuts" is a traditional dish in Beijing. For some particular Beijingers, it is also an indispensable dish for new year's day. The implication of "cabbage" is to be pure and innocent, while "chestnut" is a symbol of many children, many blessings and good luck. This dish is usually made from chicken soup. The so-called "grill" is to make good soup. In this process, do not stir back and forth with a spoon, so that the dishes always maintain the complete shape when they are put into the pot. In the middle of cooking, you can turn the spoon twice, but you can't turn the dishes loose. Cook the vegetables thoroughly and thicken them. Shake the frying spoon and pour in the starch to make them solidify and gelatinize. Although it seems simple to pick vegetables, it is all about the coordination of hand movements and the accuracy of turning the spoon. Only when you are proficient in using the frying pan or spoon, can you try to make the dish. If you practice the action of turning the spoon well, it is quite quick and easy to make the dish.

The color of cooked chestnuts is not as beautiful as raw chestnuts, but the taste is very good, soft and sweet. The practice of "grilling cabbage with chestnuts" is as follows
