Number Of Ingredients 20

1 head cabbage
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 green onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 teaspoons minced gingerroot
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped mushrooms (about 4 oz)
1 lb lean ground chicken
1 small sweet red pepper, diced

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
3/4 cup cooked rice

1/4 cup packed brown sugar (I use brown sugar twin)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1 tablespoon minced gingerroot
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Using sharp knife, remove core from cabbage.
  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch cabbage for 10 to 15 minutes or until leaves are softened.
  • With tongs, remove and chill in cold water; set aside on towel, core down, to drain.
  • Filling: In large nonstick frypan, heat oil over medium high heat; cook onions, garlic and ginger, stirring, for 3 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms; cook stirring, for 5 minutes or until liquid is evaporated.
  • Add chicken; cook, stirring and breaking up with wooden spoon, for about 5 minutes or until no longer pink.
  • Add red pepper, coriander, soy sauce and hot pepper sauce; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat; stir in rice.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Stir in egg.
  • Working from core end of cabbage, carefully remove 12 leaves, trim off coarse backbone.
  • Spoon about 1/3 cup filling onto each leaf.
  • Fold end and sides over filling; roll up.
  • Place rolls in single layer in large casserole dish.
  • Sauce: In bowl, stir together tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, soy and oyster sauces, ginger and sesame oil.
  • Pour over cabbage rolls.
  • Cover and bake in 350°F oven for 40 minutes.
  • Uncover and baste with sauce; cook, uncovered for 20 minutes longer or until sauce is bubbling and rolls are tender.

Tips:

  • Select the right cabbage: Choose a firm, heavy head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid heads with bruises or blemishes.
  • Wash the cabbage thoroughly: Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves. Cut the cabbage in half and rinse it under cold water, making sure to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Cabbage can be stir-fried, sautéed, boiled, steamed, or roasted. Each method produces a different texture and flavor.
  • Add flavor with seasonings and spices: Cabbage pairs well with a variety of seasonings and spices, such as garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: Cabbage should be cooked until it is tender but still slightly crunchy. Overcooked cabbage becomes mushy and loses its flavor.

Conclusion:

Cabbage is a versatile and affordable vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. With its mild flavor and slightly crunchy texture, cabbage is a great addition to salads, stir-fries, soups, and stews.
