Tips & Notes:
- The main purpose of adding beaten egg and cornstarch is to make the chicken breast tender & smooth.
- If you use dried wood ears, you need to soak them in water for 2 to 3 hours. If you can't find wood ear mushrooms, you can use shiitakes, baby Bella mushrooms are a good substitute.
- 1/4 or 1/2 cabbage depends on the size of a cabbage, around 250~300g. Or you can use coleslaw mix. This is a quick and easy method.
