Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew Chinese cabbage? Prepare all products according to the list. For juiciness and brightness of the finished dish, use cherry tomatoes or one large tomato.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the onions, carrots and garlic and rinse. Garlic can be omitted from the recipe if desired. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, pass the garlic through a press or chop it with a knife, and cut the onion into quarter rings or smaller.

Step 3

Step 3
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the Chinese cabbage. Rinse the peking and cut into thin strips.

Step 4

Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan. Send the onions, carrots and garlic to fry. Cook, stirring, over high heat until golden brown.

Step 5

Step 5
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. You can first peel the tomatoes. Place cabbage, tomatoes and tomato paste in a frying pan. Mix everything thoroughly. I added the cabbage in parts, stirring constantly.

Step 6

Step 6
Reduce stove heat to moderate. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer until all ingredients are cooked. After a while, open the lid and check if the cabbage is burning. If there is not enough juice from the tomatoes, then pour in a little water (I added half a glass of boiling water).

Step 7

Step 7
After 10-15 minutes, open the lid. Salt the dish to taste. At this stage, add your favorite dry spices. I used dried Provençal herbs and vegetable mixture. Stir, increase the flame slightly and leave on the stove for another 3-5 minutes. At the end of cooking, add chopped herbs. Dill, parsley or green young onions are perfect.

Step 8

Step 8
Before serving, sprinkle the finished cabbage with ground allspice or black pepper.
