Uncover the pot and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Test the taste. If the water tastes salty, then it is right. This way the dish will have just enough flavor.

1: This salted cabbage is more delicious than the plain cabbage I usually make myself. I think there are two reasons: first, because of the addition of shredded ginger, and second, because the sesame oil and salt are added first and then the water is added. With what others call "wok gas". 2: There is more oil and salt, but because there is more water, unlike stir-fry, it doesn’t feel greasy when you eat it. 3: My family likes their vegetables to be cooked a little softer. If you like them to be refreshing, in step 5, just open the lid and cook for 1 minute! 4: After the vegetables are put into the pot, the ones soaked in the water below will immediately turn green. At this time, use chopsticks to turn the cabbage over so that all the cabbage is soaked in the water and turn green, and then cover the pot. .
