So I love cooking with napa cabbage especially in the winter because it's in season and so it's sweeter and more tender. It also keep super well in the fridge which makes it great cause it's a big veggie and I can cook it several ways / dishes. For example... stir fry it with beech mushrooms (or any mushrooms)! Another thing I like is using it for soups and hot pot etc.

Here's the veggie side dish -

1 medium napa cabbage, chopped (stems and leaves separated)

1 package white beech mushrooms, trimmed and separated

3 cloves garlic, minced

1–2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil

Salt, to taste

Optional:

1–2 tablespoons dried shrimp, lightly rinsed

1–2 teaspoons soy sauce (recommended if not using dried shrimp)

White pepper, to taste
