Steps:
- 1. Start by cutting up your cabbage. You can make chunks,slices, whatever you feel like at the moment. Place it in a large sauce pan. Take half of your tomato juice or sauce, and pour it over the cabbage. Bring to a boil and then simmer for at least 15 minutes to reduce the cabbage and give you room for the porcupine balls.
- 2. While the cabbage simmers, mix the meat ball mixture. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef,eggs,soy sauce,pepper,onion powder, garlic powder and the rice. Mush it up with your hands and blend it all very well. Form this into meatballs by rolling a palm full in your hands.
- 3. After the cabbage is reduced and you have room in the pot, put the balls right on top of the cabbage. Add your 4 bay leaves and the rest of your tomato sauce or V-8 or tomato juice. Bring back to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for about 50 minutes to an hour. They are done when the rice if fully cooked.
- 4. NOTES: Mom used tomato sauce. I tried them with V-8 juice and they are good too. My Mom didnt use as much sauce/juice as I do now. I added more liquid due to the fact that the rice sucks it all up. The following day, you can add more sauce and ketchup because you will find that those thirsty meat balls sucked it all up again. Either that, or you can leave them and add more ketchup on top before reheating.

- Blanch the cabbage leaves: To soften the cabbage leaves and make them more pliable, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes. This will also help to remove any bitterness from the leaves.
- Cook the filling: While the cabbage leaves are blanching, cook the filling. This can be done in a skillet or a slow cooker. Be sure to season the filling well with your favorite herbs and spices.
- Assemble the cabbage rolls: Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each cabbage leaf. Then, fold the leaf around the filling, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Tuck in the sides as you go.
- Cook the cabbage rolls: You can cook the cabbage rolls in a variety of ways. You can bake them in the oven, simmer them in a pot on the stovetop, or steam them in a steamer basket.
