CHINESE CABBAGE STIR FRY WITH PORK

Steps:

• Remove the soft green/yellowish part of the cabbage leaves so that the white stem becomes a spear head shape. Cut the soft leaves to 4-5cm/1½-2" long.
• Cut each white stem in half vertically, then slice each piece diagonally, perpendicular to the vertical cut, into large bite size pieces (see photo in the post, note 3).
• Cut each shiitake mushroom into quarters or into three pieces (note 4).
• Heat oil and sesame oil in a frying pan or a wok over high heat.
• When it just starts smoking, add shallots and pork pieces. Stir fry until the pork is cooked through (about 1-1.5 minutes depending on the thickness of the pork).
• Add soy sauce and sake to the pan/wok and stir vigorously (note 5), then add Chinese cabbage and shiitake mushrooms. Add a pinch of salt.
• Stir to coat the sauce over the cabbage until the cabbage pieces become wilted.
• Turn the heat off, add vinegar and quickly stir. Serve immediately.

STIR-FRIED PORK WITH NAPA CABBAGE

Steps:

• Trim off and discard any silver skin from pork (do not trim fat). Cut pork across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl.
• Stir together vinegar, salt, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl.
• Stir together water and remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a cup.
• Rinse cabbage in a large colander. Tap colander lightly, then transfer cabbage to a large bowl with water still clinging to leaves.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then add pork in 1 layer as quickly as possible. Cook, undisturbed, until pork begins to brown, about 3 minutes, then turn over and cook, undisturbed, until browned but still pink in center, about 1 minute more. Transfer pork and any juices to a plate. Do not clean skillet.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry garlic and ginger 30 seconds. Add half of cabbage and stir-fry over high heat until cabbage is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in remaining cabbage (skillet will be very full), along with any water in bowl, and soy sauce mixture, then cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until all of cabbage is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add pork, along with any juices accumulated on plate, and bring to a boil. Stir cornstarch mixture, then pour into skillet and boil, stirring, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Season with salt, then serve sprinkled with cilantro.
