Chinese Shredded Cabbage Stir-Fry
Description
The dish begins by caramelizing the sliced pork in hot oil to develop savory depth. Garlic and deseeded dried red chilies are added to lightly infuse heat while avoiding bitterness. Hand-shredded cabbage is introduced with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, sugar, and water, then covered briefly to steam and wilt without losing crunch. The cabbage is finished with a drizzle of black vinegar and scallions to brighten and add acidity.
The resulting stir-fry features tender meat with slightly crispy edges, balanced by the cabbage’s light sweetness and textured crunch. The combination creates a flavorful, quick-cooked dish that can be served as a main or side.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 6 oz. pork belly (170g, pork loin, or chicken, thinly sliced)
- 5 cloves garlic (smashed and cut in half)
- 5 dried red chili (deseeded and roughly chopped)
- 1 1/2 lb. cabbage (680g, hand-shredded into bite sized pieces, washed, and thoroughly dried)
- 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese black vinegar
- 2 scallions (cut into 2-inch lengths)
Instructions
- In a wok over high heat, add the oil. Sear the meat until caramelized. Add the garlic and chili, turn down the heat to medium, and stir-fry for a minute, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the cabbage, wine, soy sauce, sugar, and water. Turn up the heat to high, cover the lid and let the cabbage cook for 1-2 minutes. Uncover the lid, and stir in the black vinegar, scallions, and salt to taste. The cabbage should be wilted, but still slightly crunchy and caramelized. Serve hot!
