A Recipe for
Hot & Sour Cabbage
A food is not necessarily essential just because your child hates it. |
| Katharine Whitehorn |
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

++++++++++++++ ++++ Preparation: Separate, wash & dry cabbage
leaves. Stack them up and cut them crosswise into 1" wide pieces.
Finely mince or grind Szechuan peppercorns. Crush rock sugar with
cleaver handle; mix with soy sauce; reserve. Stir-frying: Heat wok
to moderate; add oil. Wait 30 seconds. Stir-fry whole chilis until
they just blacken; quickly add peppercorns. When they exude pungent
odor, push up side of wok and raise heat to high. Add salt & cabbage
all at once. Keep tossing cabbage until it is wilted & soft. This
takes several minutes. There should be about 2 T of water in wok
when cabbage is wilted. Add sugar & soy mixture. When sugar has
melted, toss with cabbage, then sprinkle vinegar over all. Keep
tossing on high heat for another 20 seconds. Add sesame oil; toss
briefly; remove to serving dish. If serving this dish cold, wait
until it has cooled, then cover & refrigerate.
