Simmered Dried Scallops with Cabbage

I saw this recipe on FaceBook posted by "Cooking is Easy" （做饭很简单）like the way it used the saltiness of scallops to bring out the sweetness of the cabbage. I give the recipe a twist by adding dried shrimp, you are able to cook this dish using Tianjin Cabbage as well.  

 

My son usually doesn't like to eat cabbage but he gave this dish a try, I think simmering of cabbage instead of frying it does help to soften the vegetable. The sauce of this dish is very flavourful, scallop the expensive stuff does help :) 100g of Japanese scallops equal to about 6 pieces cost me $13 Singapore dollars!! If you can effort, add more scallops in this dish :D
