Hello everyone, I'm Amanda
Today's video will be a little different than usual,
because in today's video, I'm not using my own recipe,
but a fan's recipe
her id is @MonkeyAndMrPipi
Because she participated in the last competition of Amanda's cooking class representative
the theme of that competition is tasty healthy meal
@MonkeyAndMrPipi was given the "most tempting" award
so, I'm going to choose one among her recipes to replicate
The weibo she posted at that time looks like this
All nine pictures look rather tasty
and I'm going to choose one among them
that I want to replicate
I'm choosing this cabbage roll
because I think,
firstly, it has a good presentation
also, by looking at her description
I feel that the ingredients and the tastes will be very pretty rich
but to be honest, I have never tried to cook this
so I... am not sure whether I can produce something delicious today
let's see how it goes
first put yam into the steam oven to cook it thoroughly
it needs about 15 to 20 minutes
I'm using iron yam because it is has a fine texture
boil some water
cut away some of the cabagge's stem
remove the leaves
it's best to lay them out neatly
when you blanch them, put the stem in first
they require longer time to cook than the leaves
blanch it for half a minute
them put the leaves in
cook for another half a minute
then they can be scooped up
you can immerse it in cold water briefly
to avoid overcooking the leaves
Now the tomatoes. Pour hot water over them
soak them for a while, then remove the skin
then dice them
wring the water out of the prepared cabbage leaves, put them aside
Then the shrimps
this is my usual way of preparing the shimp
first squash them using a knife (Dual-vector foil knife)
then chop them up slightly
100g of shrip, a little white pepper
add a pinch of salt
a spoonful of rice wine
mix it even, and marinate it for a while
Now that the yam is ready, take it out
remove the skin
crush it with a fork
let it cool down
then take a frying pan, put a large spoonful of vegetable oil into it
a clove of garlic, grated it into a paste
into the pan, fry till you can smell the aroma
put the tomatoes that we just dice into the pan
add a pinch of salt
Since it's a healthy meal,
this dish only requires a little salt.
Then add a bit of water, cook on low heat for a while
up till now, the salt that I have added is very little
because I think during the weight and fat loosing stage
eating less salt helps.
Then the yam paste
I used approximately 75 grams of yam
and 25 grams of corn
around 100 grams of shrimp.
Use half of a small spoon of sesame oil, mix
actually, the fan who uploaded this recipe did not post a very detailed method of cooking this dish
so whether the yam we put in is cooked first
or is placed in raw
is not very clear to me.
But to my own understanding
I think it might taste better if the yam is cooked first.
Mix it evenly in this way,
take the cabbage leaves that we just prepared,
and put in a large scoop of filling into it.
Place fillings on the lower part of the stem
and slowly roll it up
finally cover it with the top of the leaf part.
The sealing part is on the bottom
Slightly stretch the two ends of the leaf to seal it tight.
Although it's still half raw
but I have a feeling that it would turn out great
because the cabbage and the yam has been emitting
a very savory and aromatic smell,
it smells really nice to me.
So I think it will taste delicious once it's cooked.
It's easy to roll it into a pretty shape.
Placed them onto a plate.
The amount of ingredients I gave in the recipe could create 8 rolls.
But for a good plating, I only used 6 here.
I cooked the other two separately (*^▽^*)
Again, put it into the steam oven,
I steamed it for around 15 minutes.
The tomatoes that have been cooking on the side is now soft enough to my taste
if it gets dry in the middle of cooking, add water anytime
The cooked cabbage rolls would taste more flavorful
if cooked a little longer with the tomato soup before serving.
But again, for pretty platings,
I'm going to take them out now
don't discard the juice that came out during the steaming process
pour it into the tomatoe soup.
Reduce the stock
then pour the tomato soup around the cabbage rolls
like this.
This simple dish of shrimp cabbage rolls is now ready.
I have not tasted it till now, I don't know how it'll taste,
but it looks rather nice.
I'm gonna try one now,
it tastes much better than I imagined. ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Mainly because of its ingredients;
cabbage, yam, shrimp and corn;
they all carry a little of that natural sweetness
so when used together
they are actually enhancing each other
so the savory and sweet taste is very prominent.
And while we were cooking it, I have been emphasizing that not too much salt should be used
so it's not overly salty,
but you won't think it's too plain
because the savory-sweet taste really sticks out.
You can't taste much fat in it
it's really refreshing and not greasy at all
you can tell by the taste that this dish is very healthy
but it is definitely not plain as you imagined
I think it is a success ヽ(゜▽゜)ノ
So I'm recommending this dish to everyone
you can try to make it at home.
That's it for today
see you in the next video, bye-bye
