Goji Cabbage 枸杞炒白菜

This simple diet dish is delicious! Eating cabbage could help you shred up to 1 pound of fat per day. If you want to lose 3 lbs in a week, start with eating head cabbage every meal before eating other dish. If you want to lose 5 lbs. in a week, eat cabbage only for every meal. You may use cabbage to make soup, stir fry, salad, steam, or cook with crock pot. I discovered this recipe from my Mom-the BEST cooker in my world- and I never get tired of eating it.

Simple ingredients:

• 1/2 Chinese round cabbage, cut into bite sizes
• 2 fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• some Goji, soak in water until soft
• 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil - MUST have to make this dish delicious!
• pinch of salt

Easy to make:
In a large wok, drizzle olive oil on the bottom, then add cabbage, mushroom and goji, cook on medium-high heat. Add some water(about 1 Tbsp. at a time) if getting dry. Stir fry until the cabbage just turn soft. sprinkle pinch of salt to your taste, and drizzle sesame oil at end...hmmm...smell so good and taste so tender!

Note: You may purchase the Chinese head cabbage in Chinese grocery stores. They are more tender than American head cabbage. You may also use organic cabbage. Goji from Asian stores are very hard and take longer to soak. But the Goji that I bought from the Whole Food supermarket is softer, they can even eat as is, taste a little sweet and they are good for your eyes.

Some benefits for Goji:
Goji berries have been used for 6,000 years by herbalists in China and India to:

• protect the liver
• help eyesight
• improve sexual function and fertility
• strengthen the legs
• boost immune function
• improve circulation
• promote longevity
• rich in antioxidants
