In this dish shiitakes give a meaty flavor, while Napa cabbage offers up tender leafy greens and crisp-tender stems for contrast. I use a large deep skillet here, but nows the time to use your wok if you have one.

Ingredients

Serves:

1/4 cup water

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large clove garlic, finely chopped

2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled ginger

3- to 4-ounce fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps cut into 1/4-inch wide strips

2 pounds Napa cabbage, quartered lengthwise and cored, then cut crosswise into 1-inch wide pieces, about 15 cups

4 scallions, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil, optional

Directions

Stir together water, soy, vinegar, cornstarch, and sugar in a small bowl and reserve.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch deep heavy skillet over high heat until it shimmers, then stir-fry garlic and ginger until pale golden, about 15 seconds. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until they begin to soften, about 30 seconds. Add half of cabbage and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then using 2 wooden spatulas (skillet will be very full) toss until cabbage is wilted, about 2 minutes. Add remaining cabbage and toss until cabbage stems are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir soy mixture, then add to cabbage and simmer, stirring, until sauce is glossy, about 1 minute. Stir in scallions and salt and pepper to taste. Serve drizzled with sesame oil if using.
