Heat the oil in the stock pot at medium heat. Add the garlic, leeks and ginger (saute about 2-4 minutes).

Step 4

Add cabbage and chicken stock. If adding tofu, add now. Cook down the cabbage(about 5-10 minutes)

Step 5

To thicken the thin liquid that has accumulated in the pot, remove 1/2 cup of the liquid, add the corn starch and stir with a wisk or fork until distributed. Add the mixture a well in the center of the stock pot. Slowly mix it in with the rest of the chinese food. Once thickened, eat and enjoy.
