Reply:napa cabbage lets out lots of water after it cooks so it will ruin your soup. the vegetqable gets quite limpy and stringy too.



easy soup: chicken broth. heat. add soaked shitake mushrooms, a quarter piece of ginger, and napa cabbage chopped into 1 x 2 inch pieces.



this also works with instant oriental noodles.
