Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with shrimp

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Remove the veins from the shrimp and clean them thoroughly. Add two tablespoons of cooking wine and one tablespoon of cornstarch, mix well, and marinate for ten minutes. I used fresh, peeled shrimp, but you can also use store-bought shrimp, though larger ones are better.

   Step 2

   Choose tender cabbage, wash it, and tear it into small pieces by hand. Don't use a knife to cut it; it really makes a difference in taste.

   Next, add the marinated shrimp and stir-fry until they change color. Do not stir-fry for too long, otherwise they will become overcooked and have a poor texture.
