Chinese Style Stir Fry
This is one of the most common easy stir fry dish on my table- Chinese style spicy and sour cabbage stir fry. The Chinese name for this easy cabbage stir fry dish is hand shredded cabbage. You many wonder why it should be hand shredded? Not cutting? Hand shredding can help to remove the tough part of the cabbage and further making preparation for later quick frying. Quick frying can remain the crispy taste of the cabbage.
If you happens to have Sichuan peppercorn and black vinegar at home, this is really a must try dish. Making this at home is so easy but it comes out super great and yummy.
