Cooking course: Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with Shitake mushroom

I'm leaving for Milan tomorrow. For a crafts fair called L'ARTIGIANO IN FIERA 2008. It's a very big international crafts fair, I assume it is the biggest one in Europe at least. Let's see how it is!

I made a nice dish today O(∩_∩)O, it is a common dish which I cook quite often. Both Alex and I love a lot!!! Very simple to cook, check it out now!

Recipe:

1) Two Chinese cabbages, two dried Shitake mushrooms. (They are always sold at Chinese supermarkets near Martim Moniz. Sometimes I can also find this kind of cabbage at the Bio Market at Jardim do Princípe Real, and there are also fresh Shitake mushrooms, they can be used instead of the dried ones in this dish, but you should put more if you use fresh ones, coz they shrink a lot after cooked.)

2) Tear the cabbages into pieces, soak the dried mushrooms in boiled water, for at least 1 hour, till they get very soft.










3) Cut the mushrooms into slices.







4) Put some olive oil in the wok. After it's warm, put in the cabbages.







5) Add the mushrooms, and some salt, stir-fry.







6) After the cabbages shrink, and some water coming out, READY!
