This is a vegetarian version of a classic Chinese stir-fry. The authentic versions I've encountered include some pork or bacon, but the chilies, ginger, garlic, star anise and the cabbage are flavorful enough without meat. I've added carrots for color.

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 garlic cloves, minced

Salt to taste

Steps:
