Ingredients

• 10 whole Cabbage leaves
• 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and blanch the cabbage leaves for 1-2 minutes until they are pliable. Remove and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked jasmine rice with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly season the rice.

Step 3

Lay one cabbage leaf flat on a clean cutting board. Place about 2 tablespoons of the rice mixture near the base of the leaf. Add a small amount of julienned carrot and cucumber on top.

Step 4

Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf over the filling, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.

Step 5

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Lightly brush it over the edges of each roll to seal them.

Step 6

Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Gently place the rolls seam-side down and pan-fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 7

Remove the rolls from the skillet and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the Crunchy Cabbage Rice Rolls warm with additional soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
