This recipe was given to me by my Chinese mother-in-law. I love Napa cabbage because it’s slightly milder and a little sweeter than regular cabbage. This is a recipe which is very quick and easy to do, and it makes a great side dish. You can also serve it over rice.

Ingredients

~6 minutes
4 to 6 people
  1. 1 headNapa cabbage
  2. 1 Tablespoonolive oil
  3. 2garlic cloves, minced
  4. 1/4 cupShaohsing Rice Cooking Wine
  5. 1-2 teaspoonsSesame oil
  6. 2-3 TablespoonsSoy sauce
  7. 1/4 teaspoonsSalt
  8. A fewgrounds of Freshly ground pepper

Cooking Instructions

~6 minutes
  1. 1

    Chop the cabbage into large chunks.

  2. 2

    Soak the cabbage in water and swish it with your fingers to remove and dirt or grit. Drain the water out.

  3. 3

    Add the oil to a pan and fry the garlic over medium-low heat until it is fragrant and a little soft. Don’t let it brown. If your garlic is chopped finely this will only take about a minute or less.

  4. 4

    Add the cabbage along with the rice wine, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Cover and let steam for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    After five minutes, check the doneness of the cabbage. If it is not to your liking, continue to cook it for a few minutes more. Toss all of the cabbage leaves so that they are well coated by the sauce. You can add salt and pepper to taste at this time.

  6. 6

    OPTIONAL: I add a few squirts of Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce. (This sauce can be used on veggies, meats, rice, noodles, etc. It’s kind of magical, honestly. It’s available online, but I found this bottle at Costco.)

  7. 7

    Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator. They’ll keep for about 4 days.
