How to Make Best Ever Stir Fried Chinese Cabbage

  1. Soak 10g dried scallops and 5g dried shrimp in 100ml hot water for 5 minutes (or microwave on high for 5 minutes). Slice 4 cloves garlic and 1-2 red chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Roughly chop 500g Chinese cabbage.
  2. Once the dried seafood has softened, drain, reserving the soaking liquid.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic slices and brown lightly.
  4. Remove half the browned garlic and set aside for garnish.
  5. Add the chilies, soaked dried scallops, and shrimp to the pan; stir-fry for 1 minute.
  6. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Add the chopped Chinese cabbage and stir-fry until it slightly wilts. Add 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and the reserved soaking liquid.
  8. Season with soy sauce to taste (start with 1 tablespoon and adjust).
  9. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the cabbage is tender-crisp. Thicken the sauce with 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water.
  10. Garnish with the reserved crispy garlic slices and serve immediately. Enjoy!
