Stir-Fried Chinese Cabbage with Sweet Sausage

White Chinese cabbage and red pork sausage are traditional partners in Chinese cooking. It is a yin-yang marriage of soft and solid textures, neutral and pronounced flavors, and contrasting colors and food types. Blanched separately then stir-fried together, the result is a very simple dish with a sweet, understated charm.

• What lifts this dish out of the ordinary is the use of the seasoned fat and steaming juices left over from cooking
