If you want to taste a real Chinese dish, treat yourself to something unusual and, so to speak, exotic, then you do not need to go to Thailand or Bali. Everything ingenious, as you know, does not differ in complexity. Next to Blagoveshchensk is the Chinese town of Heihe. The salad that we will cook today got its name from this locality.
The peculiarity of this dish is that it is prepared very simply and quickly. At the same time, it has a classic oriental, if not specifically Chinese taste. Thanks to this, the salad has become so popular in Russia. It can be found on the menu of any restaurant in the Amur Region. Products for making salad "Heihe" require simple, uncomplicated and, which is very attractive to housewives, inexpensive.
Product List
There are a lot of ingredients in the classic salad recipe, but don't be afraid, you can find them all in your refrigerator. An extreme case is a nearby supermarket.
- Small piece of pork - 180-210g
- 180g cabbagewhite.
- Small carrots.
- Starch noodles (also called glass or transparent) - 60g
- A couple of spoonfuls of soy sauce.
- Three cloves of garlic.
- Soybean or sesame oil - 2 tsp
- Pinch of granulated sugar.
- One fresh cucumber.
- Hot chili pepper (optional).
- A few pinches of Chinese Mala Xian (if possible).
- S alt (to taste).
- Wine white vinegar - 3 tbsp. l.
Some housewives add sublimated tree mushrooms and sheet tofu to the Heihe salad in Chinese style. But, as they say, every sandpiper considers his swamp to be the capital, so we will not argue about the classics and traditional recipes. If it is possible to get such ingredients, then add them to the dish.
Features of Heihe salad recipe
The first thing to do is prepare the glass noodles. As a rule, it is simply poured with boiling water. You only need to take half of the package, this will be enough for the Heihe salad. While the noodles are infused, we are preparing vegetables. By the way, if you still got freeze-dried mushrooms, then they are cooked along with the noodles. Pour the mushrooms with cold water, put on the stove, wait for the boil and let it cook for 3-5 minutes.
With the help of such a simple kitchen helper as a grater, chop cucumber, cabbage leaves and carrots. Everything should turn into long stripes-ribbons. If you consider yourself one of thosevirtuosos who can do it with an ordinary knife, then get down to business.
As the locals say, getting real sheet tofu can sometimes be problematic. There are very fastidious Chinese saleswomen who will keep such a product “for their own”. However, it is possible to find an approach to their dry Chinese hearts. Experienced housewives who live in border towns and often cook Heihe salad know the secret. They advise saying hello in Chinese and asking about the product in the seller's native language. If the tofu is purchased, then cut the sheets into long strips. If you didn’t manage to get the goods, then you can cook without it, the result will not change much.
Seasoning and sauce
In a separate bowl, mix chopped garlic, hot chili pepper (cut into thin circles), sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, s alt, wine vinegar, Malasyan, a few drops of sesame oil. Stir, let stand.
Meat
The original recipe with a photo of Heihe salad contains pork, but if you do not favor this type of meat, then you can replace chicken breast or turkey fillet. Cut the meat ingredient into long strips, fry in a mixture of sesame and sunflower oil. You should get rather fried meat pieces with a ruddy appetizing crust and a characteristic crunch.
If you are hesitant to add fresh spicy chili to a salad, then some housewives recommend using it before frying meat. Put the pepper pod directly into the oil and let itwarm him up a bit. The peppers will release some of their pungency to the meat, but the throat won't burn even if you eat the whole salad alone.
Served warm salad. At the bottom are vegetables, on top is a slide of fried pork. You can add a couple more tablespoons of fragrant oil in which the meat was fried.
For lovers of culinary experiments
You can also use bell peppers, beef, roasted peanuts, tomatoes, beef tongue, pig ears, red sweet onions, eggplant, Chinese cabbage in the salad.
