I like Chinese cuisine. I don't like the Chinese language. Or more accurately, languages. Many Chinese recipes translate as things quite unappetising to us westerners. One of these is Tianjing preserved vegetables. Vegetables is a food group, not a specific food. In this case, though, the vegetable is specifically cabbage - which is a group of vegetables. I believe it is what we call bok choy. Chopped, salted and fermented then packed into fat squat stone crocks. Great stuff. Other ingredients in this - peanut oil, snake beans, shao xing wine, soy sauce, ginger, gold band snapper and sesame oil.
