How to make bean curd pancakes

The method of making bean pot pancakes is not much different from that of ordinary pancakes, except that beans are added as a gift. We first prepare the dough and set it aside. Next is the stew. The ingredients are pork belly, potatoes, and beans. Stew it like you would any home-cooked meal. Then place the dough around the pot to cook it. As the aroma of the dish spreads from the pot, the dough around it will also have a mixed aroma of beans, potatoes, and pork belly.

How to make bean curd cake

1Wash the beans, remove the tendons and cut them in half.

2Peel and dice potatoes.

3 Set aside the onion, ginger and garlic.

4Wash the pork belly and cut into pieces.

5 Add appropriate amount of water to the dough. If you like the taste of leavened dough, you can add some yeast powder.

6. Knead into a smooth dough and let it rise for 40 minutes. The dough is slightly fermented.

7 While the dough is fermenting, you can start cooking. First, stir-fry the pork belly in oil for a few minutes.

8 Add onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry. Then add star anise and cooking wine and pour in most of the boiling water. Simmer over medium heat for 20 more minutes.

9 After 20 minutes, when the meat is half cooked, add the beans. The soup in the pot just covers the beans.

10. Stew the beans for more than 10 minutes, and the dough will be ready.

11 When obvious holes appear in the dough, place it on a panel and knead it.

12The next steps are exactly the same as making pancakes. First, roll the dough into thin slices.

13Then coat it with a layer of cooking oil and sprinkle with salt and thirteen spices.

14 After rolling up, close the two sides and press it vertically into a tall pancake.

15 Then roll the tall dough into a thin and even layer.

16 At this time, open the lid of the pot and turn the beans upside down.

17 Place the topping directly on top of the beans.

18Cover the pot and continue to simmer over medium-low heat.

19 After 7 or 8 minutes, the pancake is half cooked.

20 Take out the pancake, add potatoes, salt and light soy sauce. Then turn the pancake over and cover the dish again and continue stewing.

21 After a few minutes, the pancake will be ready. Place it on the chopping board to cool slightly.

22 Stir-fry the vegetables, taste for saltiness, and reduce the sauce.

23Finally, add some minced garlic and it is ready to serve.

24 Cut the pancake into pieces. One pancake is enough for three people.

25This is the bean cake - it contains vegetables, staple food, meat and nutrition.

Tips

1. Don't roll the dough too thin, otherwise it will easily affect the layers when you roll it later.

2. After kneading the dough, it is best to let it rise for a while before putting it into the pan, so that the pancake will be softer. I didn't have time to wake up before I went straight into the pot.

3. If you don’t add yeast powder to the flour, the cakes you make will be chewier. But it will look a bit dry.

4. If there are many people, you can make two pancakes, putting one in the pot as soon as the beans are put into the pot. The whole stewing process is enough time for two pancakes.
