Shredded Cabbage

Shredded Cabbage

　　Ingredients: Round cabbage, sugar, vinegar, salt, chicken essence, dried chili peppers, starch, oil

　　Preparation:

　　(1) Wash the stems of the round cabbage and separate the leaves.

　　(2) Tear the leaves by hand into pieces about 5X5 cm in size.

　　(3) Heat a wok over a flame, add oil, then put in salt and 3–4 dried chili peppers. Once hot, add the cabbage and stir-fry. After the cabbage is cooked, add vinegar and sugar. Pour in the prepared starch water, then continue stirring constantly until the sauce evenly coats the surface of the cabbage. It’s ready to serve.

　　Tip: Using white vinegar will give a nicer appearance. (I prefer using aged vinegar without adding a starch coating.)
