It doesn’t hurt that it’s really low in calories and nutritious. So if your looking to add more vegetables into your diet look no further.
So let’s dive right in to making this simple Chinese dish!
So start by adding the vinegars, sugar and soy sauce into a small bowl and mix them together. Then we set it aside for now.
The cabbage is usually about half a cabbage in size depending on how big it is. Cut the cabbage into thinly shredded pieces. Finely chop the red Chillies as well as the garlic cloves.

Now heat the wok to medium heat and pour the oil onto it. Once the oil is hot add the garlic and chillies and stir fry it for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Next you add the cabbage stems and stir-fry it for about 4 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften. Once the cabbage has become soft add the vinegar mixture and increase the heat of the wok to high and stir it for an additional 2 minutes.
You see when it is ready when the cabbage are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Once it’s ready put into a nice bowl or a plate and serve it hot 🙂
