Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Chinese cabbage (Napa cabbage)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the Chinese cabbage thoroughly and pat it dry. Slice the leaves and stems into bite-sized pieces, keeping the stems and leaves separate as they will cook at different rates.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 20-30 seconds, until fragrant but not burned.
Add the Chinese cabbage stems to the pan first, as they take longer to cook. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the cabbage leaves and stir-fry for another 1 minute, mixing them with the stems.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture and water into the pan. Stir well to coat the cabbage evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice.
