Description
Delicious and healthy savory rolls wrapped in tender napa cabbage leaves, filled with a flavorful mixture of ground meat, mushrooms, and scallions, topped with a rich sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 napa cabbage leaves
- 1/2 lb ground chicken or pork
- 1/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (for sauce)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin or rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry)
- Chopped scallions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the napa cabbage leaves and boil for about 2 minutes, just until softened. Drain and set them aside to cool.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or pork with mushrooms, scallions, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
- Roll the Cabbage: Take a softened cabbage leaf and lay it flat. Place a spoonful of your filling near the base and roll it tightly, just like a burrito.
- Steam the Rolls: Arrange the rolls in a steamer basket and steam for 10 to 12 minutes or until the filling is fully cooked.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the rolls are steaming, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin (or rice vinegar), and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for about one minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Plate and Garnish: Once the rolls are steamed, drizzle the sauce over the cabbage rolls and garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
