Braised Chinese Cabbage With Shrimps

1. Wash the cabbage, drain well, and cut into 1 1/2 inch by 1 inch pieces.
2. Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a wok until the surface ripples. Add the cabbage and stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove and set aside.
3. Heat 7 tbsp of the oil. Add the scallions, ginger and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the cabbage, shrimps, mushroom and carrot. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil.
4. Add the salt, Soya sauce, and ground pepper corn. When the stock has been almost reduced, add the MSG and the corn starch-water mixture.
5. Cook, stirring, until thickened slightly. Add the sesame oil, remove, and serve.
