eads of Napa cabbage vary by size from about 2 1/2 pounds to up to 6 pounds each. It can be found in the produce section of large supermarkets, health food stores and farmers’ markets.
It is sometimes called simply “Chinese Cabbage.” You should store it in plastic to prevent it from wilting. Remove any outer leaves that show signs of insect damage.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil such as avocado
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger root
8 cups napa cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons dry sherry (or 3 tablespoons vegetable broth plush 1 teaspoon rice vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 scallions, chopped
Sesame seeds, preferably toasted, for garnish, optional
Method
1. Heat oil over high heat in a large skillet (not non-stick.) Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant and starting to brown, about 30 seconds.
2. Stir in Napa cabbage (the skillet will be full.)
3. Add dry sherry and cover with a well-fitting lid. Let cook about 2 minutes to allow the Napa to wilt.
4. Remove lid and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring often until the cabbage is tender, but not completely limp, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in scallions and remove from the heat. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.
