Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 500 grams Ground pork
• 200 grams Cooked jasmine rice
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 stalks Scallions
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 250 ml Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove 8 large outer leaves from the cabbage. Blanch the cabbage leaves in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the garlic, ginger, scallions, and carrot. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, cooked jasmine rice, garlic, ginger, scallions, carrot, soy sauce, sesame oil, and coriander leaves. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 3

Lay a blanched cabbage leaf on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the leaf. Fold in the sides and roll the leaf tightly to form a parcel. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.

Step 4

Heat a large steamer or a deep skillet fitted with a steaming basket. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls in the steamer basket, seam side down. Steam over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, until the filling is cooked through.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable stock. Mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then stir it into the simmering stock to thicken the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has a smooth consistency.

Step 6

Serve the stuffed cabbage rolls hot, drizzled with the thickened sauce. Garnish with additional coriander leaves if desired.
