Bacon Bones and Cabbage Stew ~ 培根骨焖白菜.

I cooked this dish during my recent holiday in Perth.  I was attracted to the big chunks of bacon bones at the butchers in the supermarket and instantly thought of the savoury and sourish dish which we normally cook leftovers with 'gai choy'.   I couldn't find 'gai choy' and so substituted with green cabbage which turned out just as good.
