Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon dried shrimp (about 12 small shrimp; see Note)
  • 2 slices of thick-cut bacon (about 2 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 pounds green or napa cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • In a small bowl, soak the shrimp in water for 30 minutes.
  • Drain and coarsely chop the shrimp.
  • In a mortar, pound the shrimp until crumbled.
  • In a wok or large skillet, stir-fry the bacon over moderate heat until browned, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and dried shrimp and stir-fry until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add the cabbage, sugar and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper and stir-fry until the cabbage starts to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add 1/4 cup of water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Season the cabbage with salt and pepper and serve.
