Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the cabbage into large chunks.
- 2
Soak the cabbage in water and swish it with your fingers to remove and dirt or grit. Drain the water out.
- 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
Add the cabbage along with the rice wine, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Cover and let steam for about 5 minutes.

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.

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

Stir Fried Pechay (Napa Cabbage) Stir Fried Pechay (Napa Cabbage)
Super fast and easy Chinese cabbage recipe with pork cutlets. Best to use a wok and with fire. Hence its very quick because this stir fry is done in high heat setting.NOTE: ABOUT CHINESE CABBAGES and the word "PECHAY" 😊There are two common Chinese cabbages available: one is the Napa Cabbage and the Bok Choy. If you will google the two types, you will immediately notice the difference in form, leaves and color of both types.On another hand, I used the word "Pechay" as this is our local term for the Chinese cabbage. I should have thought of this instead to use a more universal term (thanks to cookpad admin for reminding me. Sorry ✌) The word Pechay is derived from the Fokkien term for Chinese cabbage "Pe-tsai". Pe means white and Tsai means vegetables. I'm Filipino but we have adapted some Fokkien terms because there are many Fokkien speaking Fil-Chinese citizens in our country. bemski -

Spicy Szechuan Stir-Fried Cabbage Spicy Szechuan Stir-Fried Cabbage
Spicy Szechuan Stir-Fried Cabbage is packed with bold flavors—spicy, tingly, and super fragrant! It’s a quick and easy dish that takes less than 15 minutes to make. The best part? Tearing the cabbage by hand is surprisingly fun and helps it soak up all the flavors. Just chop some scallions, garlic, and ginger, heat up the oil, stir-fry the spices, then toss in everything else. Cook until the cabbage is tender but still crisp, add a splash of vinegar, and finish with a drizzle of chili oil. That’s it! So simple, so good—perfect with a bowl of rice! Enjoy! Dandanyummyfood -
