Spicy Chinese Leaf

Method

• step 1

  Halve the cabbage with a knife and remove the core; tear the leaves into 3-inch wide pieces with hand (I prefer leaving the stems in as they go nice and crunchy)

• step 2

  Whisk together soy sauce, Chinese vinegar, sugar and salt in a small container, set aside.

• step 3

  Pour oil into the pan, add in the dried chili pepper, turn to low heat and sauté a minute or until fragrant.

• step 4

  Toss in the garlic and sauté until fragrant under low heat.

• step 5

  Add in the cabbage and turn to medium heat, cook about 3 minutes or until soft.

• step 6

  Give the sauce (previously set aside) a light stir before adding into the pan, stir to mix well, cook for a minute under high heat or until the seasoning's evenly distributed.

• step 7

  Transfer to a plate and serve!
