The origin of Hakka potted dishes is one of the traditional dishes of Hakka people. It means the dishes of making money, harvest and celebration. It is mainly to use a large wooden basin to stack the vegetables layer by layer into the large basin. At the bottom of the basin is to put some vegetables that are easy to absorb the soup; eat them layer by layer. Everyone will enjoy the traditional dishes with strong taste and original taste together. The origin of potted vegetables is from the coastal area of Guangdong Province. It originated in the late Southern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than hundreds of years. Generally, Hakka people eat them during festivals, new houses, ancestral halls, lighting lights and new year's Eve. When holding a potherb banquet in the village, all the people in the village will be invited to eat the potherb together. Because of the wide way of making potted vegetables and the complex process of making them, modern potted vegetables have been simplified and some simple seasonal ingredients have been selected to make them. There are two ways to make potted vegetables. One is to boil all the ingredients and put them directly into it
Step1:Blanch the keel and add some water to the soup pot. Add the winter bamboo shoots and bring to a boil. Turn to a low heat for 2 hours.
Step2:Clean the live abalone I bought. I'll let the market handle it. I'll just brush the abalone with a little toothbrush if there are black impurities around it. Then scald it in boiling water for about 10 seconds; remember not to scald it for too long because it will be boiled in the casserole for a while. Otherwise, the meat will get old if it is scalded for too long. This step is mainly to clean up the surface mucus of abalone.
Step3:The chicken is also hot in the pot and can be taken out for standby.
Step4:Put a layer of corn on the bottom of the casserole.
Step5:After the corn is spread, put on the radish block. Put the blind knot around the radish on the side, so that when it is cooked, the blind knot will absorb the soup.
Step6:When vegetables are put in, they are egg dumplings. They are also placed around the edge.
Step7:Put the homemade fried meatballs in the lower left side of the egg dumplings.
Step8:Put tiger prawns in the middle of the egg dumplings. Ordinary prawns are OK, but you need bigger prawns.
Step9:Put the roast meat on the right side of the casserole.
Step10:Finally, put in the chicken and abalone.
Step11:At this time, the soup is ready. There is no need to put salt because the dishes will be very fresh after cooking.
Step12:Add the soup to the potted dish. It's only half full; if it's too full, it will overflow.
Step13:Turn the heat to low and cook slowly until the meat is done.
Step14:Another way is to use an induction cooker to heat. Heating while eating is like eating a hot pot; however, you need to choose a pot suitable for the induction cooker. Actually, the casserole is also very heat-resistant.
