Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 2 star anise pods
- 2 slices ginger
- 2 scallions (cut into 2-inch/5cm lengths, white and green parts separated)
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 cup oyster mushrooms (torn, can substitute sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms or 3-4 reconstituted dried shiitake mushrooms)
- 1 small carrot (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
- 1 pound Napa cabbage (cut into 1-inch/3cm pieces)
- 1 pound rice cakes
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian oyster sauce (or regular oyster sauce)
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts
Instructions
- To a wok over medium heat, add the oil, star anise, ginger slices, and white parts of the scallion. Cook for 1 minute, then add the garlic, mushrooms, and carrot. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Increase the heat to high. Add the Shaoxing wine, followed by the napa cabbage. Stir-fry until the cabbage just starts to wilt, about 30 seconds, and then add the rice cakes and water. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Uncover the wok, and stir. With the heat still at medium, add the vegetarian oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and white pepper. Give everything a stir again.
- Increase the heat to high, and finally, add the bean sprouts and the green parts of the scallions.
- Stir-fry everything together for 1 final minute, until the rice cakes are tender but still chewy, and the scallion greens are just wilted. Plate and serve!
