\"Pork<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pork and cabbage stir fry is one of those dishes that lots of Chinese people eat at home, even multiple times a week. But you might never see it in a restaurant! It is a special dish, as it includes two of the most common foods of all time in China – pork and cabbage – and not much else. By using a basic marinade, some aromatics, and good stir fry technique, you can turn the most everyday ingredients into a tasty and balanced dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best type of cabbage to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ideal cabbage to use in the pork and cabbage stir fry is Taiwanese flat cabbage (\u9ad8\u4e3d\u83dc g\u0101ol\u00edc\u00e0i<\/em> in Chinese). This type of cabbage looks like the usual round green head of cabbage, but it\u2019s flatter, or shorter in height. You can see what I mean in the cross-section photo below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Taiwanese<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taiwanese flat cabbage is typically less dense and more tender than the common Western green cabbage. And it has a nice buttery and slightly sweet flavor that napa cabbage doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of cabbage should be easy to find at a Chinese grocery store. Online Asian grocery services such as Weee also carry it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When selecting a head of flat cabbage, look for one that feels lighter in your hand. A less-dense head of flat cabbage will have more curly leaves inside, which will have a nicer texture and flavor once cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
