Qiang lianhuabai is a traditional dish originating from Sichuan. The dish is usually made with a combination of cabbage, dried chili peppers, soy sauce, Chinkiang black vinegar, Sichuan pepper, salt, sugar, and oil. In order to prepare the dish, the cabbage is torn and stir-fried with hot peppers and Sichuan pepper, and then seasoned with sweet-and-sour flavorings before serving.

The Chinese prefer to use lianhuabai, the large, flat, and loosely-leaved white cabbage, but it can be replaced with regular cabbage. This dish is beloved because it's quick and easy to make along with being inexpensive.
