Pork Cabbage Rolls

Step 1

Remove 8-12 outer leaves from the cabbage. Blanch for 2-3 minutes or until pliable.

Step 2

Use a small paring knife to remove the thick stem from the cabbage leaves. Cut in a v-shape making sure you only remove the stem.

Step 3

Combine ground pork, onions, carrots, scallions, shiitake mushrooms, cooked rice, garlic, ginger, egg, soy sauce, and fish sauce into a bowl. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Make a filling tester by making a small meatball. Boil for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. Adjust any seasonings if needed.

Step 5

Place a cabbage leaf on a cutting board or mat, curl side facing up. Add in about 1/2+ cup of filling to the center. Roll upwards half way, fold in the sides, then continue rolling to secure (like a burrito).

Step 6

Place the cabbage rolls into a steamer basket and steam for 10-15 minutes, depending on how big your rolls are. Internal temperature should read at least 165 degrees F.

Step 7

Serve with chili crisp or your favorite sauce and enjoy!
