Here's a great recipe for cabbage I think I've never posted before. It's
really good. The original veg specified was kang-kong, but included
alternate suggestion of cabbage turned out to be much better than either
kang-kong or regular spinach in this recipe.
Hinnunwe (Burmese Cabbage, Spinach, or Kang-kong Stir-Fry)
(The Burmese Kitchen, Copeland Marks and Aung Thein, 1987)
1 lb. cabbage, sliced (or spinach or kang-kong, fresh, washed)
1 Tbs. oil, peanut
2 Tbs. onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
2 Tbs. shrimp powder (made by grinding dried shrimps)
1 Tbs. fish sauce
salt to taste
2 Tbs. chiles, green, hot, thinly sliced
Heat the oil and stir-fry the onion and garlic over moderate heat for 2
minutes; they will be golden-brown. Add shrimp powder and fry a bit, until
shrimp gets a little browned. Add fish sauce and fry a bit, until dried.
Add cabbage/spinach/kang-kong/whatever and chile and stir-fry until done.
With cabbage, after the first 3 minutes or so of stir-frying, we just let
it finish cooking covered and unattended.
