Lao Zhang's restaurant is small, but business is booming, as he has a signature dish – stir-fried shiitake mushrooms with bok choy, which is not only attractive in color but also delicious and loved by diners.

One day, Lao Zhang's restaurant welcomed a special customer, who is a food critic with extremely high requirements for food. He ordered Lao Zhang's signature dish, stir-fried shiitake mushrooms with cabbage. Lao Zhang confidently walked into the kitchen and began his cooking show.

"Lao Zhang, how did you choose your little cabbage?" The critic asked curiously. "Of course, I chose the most tender and greenest color, so that the fried dishes are fresh enough." Lao Zhang replied while picking out the cabbage.

"What about shiitake mushrooms? What's the point? "Shiitake mushrooms should be dried, and after soaking, the meat is thick and fragrant." Lao Zhang said and began to soak shiitake mushrooms.

"What's so special about your way of stir-frying?" "Haha, this is my secret, when frying, you should fry it quickly on high heat, so that you can lock in the umami and nutrition of the dish." Lao Zhang smiled mysteriously.

As the oil in the pot began to smoke, Lao Zhang quickly poured the cabbage and shiitake mushrooms into the pot, stir-fried quickly, and after a while, a stir-fried shiitake mushroom with colorful and fragrant cabbage came out of the pot. The critic tasted it, his eyes lit up, and he praised it again and again.

"Lao Zhang, this dish of yours is really amazing, not only delicious, but also nutritionally balanced, I must promote it well in your restaurant." Critics say with satisfaction.
