Quick Stir-Fried Napa Cabbage with Sesame Chicken Essence
Ingredients
- 1 large head of Napa cabbage, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
- 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Instructions
1. Preparation: Begin by washing and drying the Napa cabbage thoroughly. Remove the bottom stem and slice the cabbage into 1-inch wide strips. Set aside.
2. Heat the Wok: Place a large wok or wide pan over medium-high heat. Add the toasted sesame oil and allow it to heat up for about 1-2 minutes, or until it begins to shimmer.
3. Stir-Fry the Cabbage: Add the sliced Napa cabbage to the heated wok. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula for even cooking. Allow the cabbage to cook until it starts to wilt, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. Season: Sprinkle the chicken bouillon powder evenly over the cabbage. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cabbage is well-coated with the seasoning and has softened to your liking.
5. Finishing Touches: Once the cabbage is tender yet still slightly crisp, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If needed, you can add a small splash of water to help dissolve the bouillon fully and create a subtle sauce.
6. Serve: Transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish. Enjoy hot as a side dish or complement to your dinner meal.
