Method
Soak the shiitake mushrooms in warm water until soft, then slice, reserving the soaking liquid.
Slice the char siew and fish cakes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and stir-fry the garlic until fragrant.
Add the cabbage and mushrooms and stir-fry for 4 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften.
Add the char siew and fish cakes, chicken stock, mushroom soaking liquid, oyster sauce and light soy sauce, and bring to a simmer.
Simmer for 6 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
Stir in the cornflour slurry and cook for 2 minutes until the gravy thickens and turns glossy.
Fry the eggs sunny-side up in a separate pan while the gravy finishes cooking.
Spoon the braised mixture and gravy over steamed rice and top with a fried egg.
