Stir-fried Cabbage with Dried Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 oz dried shrimp ((about ¼ cup or 30g))
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1½ tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 lb cabbage, shredded ((about 12 oz / 350g shredded or 6 cups))
• 1 teaspoon salt ((to taste))
• black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Soak dried shrimp in warm water for about 10 minutes. Drain and chop finely.

2. 2

   In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic and sauté until very fragrant, about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Add the chopped dried shrimp and continue to sauté for another minute.

4. 4

   Slightly increase the heat, then add shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. You may add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help soften the cabbage while stir-frying.

5. 5

   Add salt and continue to stir-fry until the vegetable is cooked to your liking. If it takes too long, you can cover the pan briefly. Adjust seasonings to taste.

6. 6

   Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with black pepper.
