Chinese Cabbage Soup Recipe

The timing for cooking the cabbage in this recipe (about 10-15 minutes of simmering) is very
important. When cooked just right, the deep and sweet flavour of the cabbage shines through and
complements the other naturally sweet ingredients like corn, carrots, pork ribs and dried scallops.
