Instructions: 1. Soak dried salted cabbage.

2. Cut bamboo shoots in strips, as for French-fried potatoes. Cut soaked cabbage in 1-inch sections.

3. Heat oil and deep-fry bamboo shoots until pale golden. Drain on paper toweling. Sprinkle with salt and sugar; keep warm.

4. In another pan, heat sesame oil. Add cabbage and stir-fry to heat through. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.

5. Arrange cabbage strips on a platter with bamboo shoots on top, and serve at once. VARIATION: For the dried cabbage, substitute fresh mustard cabbage. (See "Basic Stir-fried Vegetables" for details.)
