This is a simple stir-fried napa cabbage recipe without excessive seasonings, so that one can taste the natural sweetness of the cabbage. The seasonings are what one can easily find in a typical Asian kitchen. At my mother’s kitchen, where she mainly cooks Chinese food, she had with just about 10 ingredients in her pantry (namely soy sauces, oyster sauce, Chinese wine, salt, oil, ginger, garlic, sugar and 5 spice powder). It’s really a feat to me, as I have countless bottles of sauces, condiments and seasonings :P
With these humble ingredients, she created magic in the kitchen and cooked a vast repertoire of dishes. So this recipe will be a reminder to me to keep a recipe as simple as possible, both in terms of method and ingredients, so as not to unnecessarily complicate the cooking process or flavours.
