Chinese Cabbage

Chinese Cabbage

Beijing style baby.

Crunchy between my teeth bones.
A few years back I travelled through China for a few months. 

Surprisingly, one of the most memorable dishes I had was a simple plate of chinese cabbage leaves. 

Crisp, fresh & green, this recipe is quick & easy to make as well as being a sure winner for anybody who likes the taste of authentic Chinese food (like my Asian self)

You'll find all of the ingredients in your local Chinese supermarket so no fucking excuses.

Brown rice or noodles (optional)

1 chinese cabbage
1 tblsp Shaozing Rice Wine

Dirty cabbage. 
1. Wash your cabbage. Chop!

2. Heat a good glug of sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok. Chop your ginger, garlic & chilli finely & fry for 1 minute on medium heat.
