Chinese style cabbage recipe
information
The Chinese know how to cook cabbage - it should be tender, yet still crisp. Overcooked, cabbage is unappetising and tasteless.
ingredients
Butter for frying
Approx. 1/2 kg (1 lb). white or green cabbage, washed, trimmed and thinly sliced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Approx. 150 ml (1/4 pint) hot chicken stock
2 tbsp spoons dry sherry (optional)

method
1. Melt a knob of butter in a large frying pan. Put in the sliced cabbage, sprinkle with lemon juice and plenty of salt and pepper.
2. Fry, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes, then add just enough hot stock to cover. Simmer gently for a further 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the cabbage is just tender.
3. Stir in the sherry, if using. Transfer to a hot serving dish and serve immediately.
