okay today I'm going to show you how to prepare Napa Chinese cabbage the Napa okay there are actually several methods to preparing Napa washing Napa is quite a challenge so what I tend to do is actually remove the leaves and wash them separately but you can chop them just like this okay and you can actually put them into a bowl and then just wash them that way as well the problem with Napa is that there are a lot of bugs and actually and that actually get in between the leaves so it's kind of hard to wash so now I have the leaves removed from the Chinese cabbage since the and it's been washed so as I said before you could actually just chop them just like this and then put them all into a bowl and make sure you rinse it very thoroughly into what in water or you can actually watch each individual leaf like I did and then chop them generally I don't actually chop Napa with a knife all the way down you can but it's too time-consuming so I tend to just use a pair of scissors and basically just put these right over top and overlap them and basically just cut them all together okay now there's the Napa all chopped up now you can use Napa on congee you can use in stir fries you can use it on whatever you wish on the second part of this video I'm actually going to use it in the congee you
