Chinese Cabbage Stew

My main objective is to just use up a lot of Chinese cabbage. It's good because it's flavored with the stew roux that everyone loves!
When heating leftovers the next day, it depends on how much is left, but try adding more chopped Chinese cabbage. If half the stew is left over, 2 to 3 leaves should be enough.

Even if you add onions you won't really notice they're in there, so you might as well not bother.
So much Chinese cabbage can be added that you might be surprised, but it all blends in very well. Add the cores first, then the green leaf tips last.
You can even use up wilted, sad-looking Chinese cabbage. Recipe by Shijimi24

Ingredients

  1. Chinese cabbage stew
  2. 1the same amount you usually use Chicken thighs
  3. 1the same amount you usually use Carrots, potatoes, (▲onions)
  4. 1 boxAny stew roux cubes
  5. 8to 10 leaves Chinese cabbage
  6. For a stew that'll go well with rice
  7. 1 tbspSoy sauce

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    To make the "stew that goes well with rice" version, just add some soy sauce when you sauté the chicken. It will be more fragrant than adding it later.

  2. 2

    Sauté the chicken, carrots and potatoes. Prepare the roughly chopped Chinese cabbage.

  3. 3

    Add 200 ml less water than is indicated on the stew roux box. This is because extra moisture will come out of the Chinese cabbage. When the stew comes to a boil, skim off the scum.

  4. 4

    When the carrots and potatoes are cooked, add the stew roux. The box says you should simmer for 10 minutes after adding the roux, but I just stir it a few times and add the Chinese cabbage.

  5. 5

    Even a huge amount of Chinese cabbage will shrink down when you poke it into the stew.

  6. 6

    When the Chinese cabbage has softened and cooked down, add milk to finish.

  7. 7

    If you add too much soy sauce to the rice version, you'll become tired of the flavor, so keep it mild.
