Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ lb cabbage
Use half a cabbage, about 1.5 pounds without the hard centre stem; tear it apart by hand into small pieces with jagged edges, picking out hard stems to slice or discard. A tight-headed cabbage may need a knife instead.
Tearing the cabbage by hand
- 8–10 whole red dried chillies
Slice garlic thinly; cut 8 to 10 dried red chillies into half-inch pieces and remove the seeds.
Heat a wok, add vegetable oil and swirl to coat; add the cabbage, garlic and chillies.
Stir-fry on high heat for some char and a roasted flavour, or on medium for a softer result, until done to taste.
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1½ tbsp Chinese black vinegar
Add salt to taste, two teaspoons of soy sauce and one tablespoon of the black vinegar; stir a minute.
Turn off the heat and add the remaining half tablespoon of black vinegar before taking it out, since the first vinegar partly evaporates.
