Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 1 head Green cabbage
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by separating about 15 large outer leaves from the head of cabbage, and gently cut out the thick stem in the middle of each leaf.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and blanch the cabbage leaves for about 2 minutes, then place them under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

Step 4

Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of a cabbage leaf.

Step 5

Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly, like you would with a traditional wonton. Repeat with the remaining filling and cabbage leaves.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Place the cabbage wontons seam side down in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned.

Step 8

Once browned, carefully add water to the skillet, cover, and allow the wontons to steam for an additional 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate from the skillet.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional chopped green onion or a side of soy sauce for dipping.
