1-Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the process smooth. First, heat the oil in a wok over high heat, then sear the meat until it turns caramelized and full of flavor. This step builds a great base for the dish.

2-Next, add the garlic and dried chilies, then lower the heat to medium and stir-fry for about one minute. Be careful not to let the garlic burn, as it can turn bitter. Once that’s done, toss in the cabbage along with the Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, sugar, and water.

3-Turn the heat back to high, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 1-2 minutes. This helps the cabbage wilt just enough while keeping its crunch. Remove the lid, stir in the black vinegar, scallions, and a bit of salt to taste, then keep cooking until everything is nicely caramelized.

4-Finally, serve the dish hot for the best experience. The total preparation time is 15 minutes, cooking takes 10 minutes, so you’re done in 25 minutes. For more ideas on quick meals, try grilled chicken kabobs with vegetables as a complementary recipe.
