Rice Cakes (shanghainese style)

-slice napa cabbage

1. put in mushroom water into wok, boil down to concentrate umami flavors
2. put in rice cake, sliced mushrooms, napa
3. season to liking with oyster sauce, pepper, salt, sugar
4. use some corn starch to thicken
5. serve!

Stir Fried Shrimp
-defrost shrimp under running water
-slice ginger, green onion, garlic

1. heat oil in wok, toss in aromatics
2. stir in shrimp
3. top with oyster sauce, sugar, cooking rice wine
4. cook quickly until sauce evenly coats shrimp and shrimp all pink

Look at how easy it was (all done in less than 30minutes, and so good all eaten in less than 30 minutes!)
