Improved version of mixed vegetables
Overview
Hecai is a traditional Beijing specialty. It is cooked with a variety of ingredients. The ingredients can be combined according to your own preferences. The traditional method in old Beijing is to stir-fry leeks, shredded pork, vermicelli, bean sprouts, and baby spinach together, and eat it with spring cakes and rice. Since neither my daughter nor I like bean sprouts and leeks, we substituted cabbage and garlic.
