Ingredients

For the Rolls:

  • 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

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp soy 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

  1. Boil napa cabbage leaves for 2 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat, mushrooms, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.

  3. Lay a cabbage leaf flat, add a spoonful of filling near the base, and roll tightly like a burrito.

  4. Steam the rolls for 10–12 minutes or until the filling is fully cooked.

  5. In a small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients except the cornstarch slurry. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  6. Stir in the slurry and cook until thickened, about 1 minute.

  7. Drizzle the sauce over steamed cabbage rolls and garnish with chopped scallions.

Notes

Feel free to switch up the filling by adding grated carrots, water chestnuts, or swapping proteins. These rolls reheat well and make excellent leftovers.
