Braised Chinese Cabbage With Dried Scallops II


This is another dish that we looooove !

It is even more tasty when a piece of dried cuttle fish is added to the pot while braising the chinese cabbage. Mmmm the aroma wafting out from the pot will make you think you are at the back portion of a chinese restaurant :)) This is one dish that you may want to add to your CNY reunion dinner menu ; )))
