  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to put out Peking cabbage? Prepare all the products according to the list. For juiciness and brightness of the finished dish, use cherry tomatoes or one large tomato.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

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

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Remove the external damaged leaves from the Peking cabbage. Rinse the pekin and cut into thin strips.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom. Send the onion, carrot and garlic to fry. Cook, stirring, over high heat until golden brown.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Rinse cherry tomatoes and cut in half. You can pre-peel the tomatoes. Put the cabbage, tomatoes and tomato paste in the pan. Mix everything thoroughly. I added cabbage in parts, constantly stirring.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

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

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

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

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

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

 Stewed Peking cabbage is very tasty with sour cream. The dish turns out to be light, low-calorie and very tasty!

Bon appetit!

How easy is it to peel tomatoes? Wash them, make criss-cross incisions on top with a sharp knife. Put it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Take out, cool slightly and remove the skin.

Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape. 

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
