---【Big stew】---
Prepare ingredients: 600 Chinese cabbage, 500 grams of potatoes, 400 grams of tofu, 200 grams of sweet potato flour, appropriate amount of salt, two star anise, more than a dozen Sichuan peppercorns, a little dried chili, a little chopped green onion, an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce, and a little old vinegar.
Steps:
1. Break off all the leaves of the Chinese cabbage, pat the cabbage parts with a knife, then cut all the cabbage into small pieces, rinse them with water and set aside.
2. Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into hob pieces, rinse off the excess starch on the surface, and soak them in clean water for later use.
3. Cut the tofu into 1.5 cm thick slices for later use.
4. Soak the sweet potato vermicelli in cold water for more than 2 hours in advance to soften the vermicelli.
5. Add a little more cooking oil to the pot, the oil temperature is about 60% hot, put the cut tofu slices into the oil pan, fry the whole process on high heat, fry the tofu until the surface is golden and then remove the oil control for later use.
6. Then continue to raise the oil temperature to 60% hot, drain the potato pieces into the oil pan, fry the potatoes until the skin is golden and the inside is ripe.
7. Cut the fried tofu slices into small pieces, compared to cutting them into small pieces and then frying, and then cutting them into small pieces after frying, the tofu can add more flavor.
8. Add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to the pot, put more than a dozen peppercorns into the cold oil, fry the peppercorns slowly over low heat to produce the fragrance, fry the peppercorns until they are slightly charred, and then remove the peppercorns. The step of frying peppercorns is the key to improving the flavor, and without this step, the taste will be much worse.
9. Continue to heat the oil, add chopped green onions, star anise, and dried chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, then put the Chinese cabbage into the pot and stir-fry over high heat.

12. Simmer the vermicelli until soft and flavorful, then add an appropriate amount of water starch to thicken, reduce the viscosity of the soup over high heat, and let the soup tightly wrap around the surface of the ingredients.
