2 - 3 teaspoons chile paste, according to taste
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine, dry sherry, or white wine

- Rinse the cabbage and pat dry. Remove the leaves and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Finely chop the garlic. Rinse the green onion and cut into 1-inch lengths.
- Heat the pan/wok and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the chile paste. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, then add the garlic. Stir-fry for a few seconds until fragrant, and then add the cabbage.

- Turn the heat back to medium-high. Stir in the sugar and green onion. Stir in the soy sauce if desired.
