Ingredients:

  • 1 medium napa cabbage (about 1 3/4 lb)
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk (plus)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or 1 tbsp potato starch
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 slices fresh ginger
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 2 -3 tbsp chopped ham
  • pepper , to taste

Directions:

  1. Remove the tough outer stems from the cabbage and cut off the core. Wash remaining stems and drain. Cut the stems crosswise into 1-inch pieces, discarding the upper leaves.
  2. In a large saucepan or a wok, bring enough water to cover the cabbage to a boil. Boil the cabbage for 1 minute and drain in a colander. Pat the cabbage dry with paper towels. (If using a wok to boil the cabbage, dry the inside and outside with paper towels).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the evaporated milk.
  4. Preheat the wok and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the salt and ginger slices. Add the cabbage and cook for a minute, until the cabbage is heated through. Discard the ginger.
  5. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
  6. Push the cabbage to the sides of the wok, making a well in the middle. Give the evaporated milk and cornstarch mixture a quick restir, then add to the chicken stock in the middle of the wok, stirring quickly to thicken.
  7. When the sauce has thickened, stir to mix everything together. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
  8. Garnish the creamed cabbage with the chopped ham and scallions. Serve immediately.
