Wouldn't it be great if we could just eat what we want when we want. Shame, shame, shame. So this is a great dish for when I am on my health kick diet. And it is yummy and very satisfying. I learnt this from watching a street vendor cook this in Hangzhou. He had a 20 person line up so I guessed his recipe was the best one. Eat this for dinner 3 times a week and you will loose weight. Its also a great side dish if your doing a Chinese banquet. Leave out the bacon and its a bit healthier and also a vegetarian dish.
A lot of people think the Chinese are slim and healthy from what the eat. Having lived there a lot I can tell you this is fantasy. In recent years the Chinese are showing real signs of becoming an obese society. The diet is strongly based around pork fat, MSG and cooking oil, mixed with a bit of rice and vegetables. Or Duck and fried pancakes. They love Pizza Hut and KFC. A quarter of the supermarket shelves are devoted to candy and chocolates. Like all of us, as they become richer they are becoming fatter.
Ingredients
1 Tbs vegetable oil
Cabbage head (shredded in large chunks)
2 slices bacon
1 onion
1 carrot
1 Tbs ginger (slivered)
1 Tbs garlic (slivered)
4 large dash's tabasco
1 Tbs oyster sauce
2 Tbs Shoaxing wine
Cornflour dissolved in 1 cup of water
