Rolled Cabbage

pork meatball wrapped in Chinese leaf

Prep Time:

In Japan we usually use cabbage as the wrapping for this dish. In England I haven’t been able to find a leaf which is soft enough so on this occasion I used Hakusai (Chinese leaf). It worked so well that I will probably use it more often in this dish.

I’ve simmered the dish in a simple chicken stock, but you could try different stocks, Kimchi stock is also very nice.

Ingredients

  • 4 Chinese cabbage leafs
  • pork mince 120g
  • Half chopped onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1tbs of Bread crumbs
  • pinch of salt & black pepper
  • 1tbs of chicken stock
  • water 500cc
  • 1tbs of chicken stock
  • half tsp of salt

Method

  1. Mix the pork mince, chopped onion, egg, bread crumbs, chicken stock and pinch of salt and black pepper well
  2. Boil the chinese cabbage for 1-2 minutes making it easier to roll.
  3. make 4 meat balls and roll inside the Chinese cabbage, keeping it held together where the leaf ends meet, with a tooth pick.
  4. put the rolled meat balls into a deep pan with tooth pick down (this will stop the rolled leaf from opening).
  5. Add the water, chicken stock and salt and simmer for 20 minutes at a low heat.
