Many people don't realize that Napa cabbage, which is named after the Napa Valley region of California where it is cultivated, is actually a type of Chinese cabbage, also called celery cabbage.
INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4
- 1½ tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 pound Napa cabbage, cored and cut crosswise into thin strips

Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it is nearly smoking. Add the oil.
