ASIAN STYLE CABBAGE ROLLS



Asian Style Cabbage Rolls image

I saw Huey make something similar this morning, but I'm not paying to join HIS site. He used pork, I want to use turkey, he microwaved his in a little Asian flavoured sort of broth-I prefer to steam mine. I combined his ideas, my ideas and those of a similar recipe I found on the net to come up with these

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 8 cabbage rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 large cabbage leaves, whole
200 g ground turkey
1/2 medium carrot, peeled cut into thin match sticks
2 green onions, minced
1/4 cup water chestnut, diced
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup shredded snow peas
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
100 g cellophane noodles, soaked in cold water for 1 hour

Steps:

  • Set up a steamer, add enough water to cover the bottom by an inch or so, and bring it to a boil. Separate the 8 cabbage leaves. Steam the leaves for 5 minutes or just until they are pliable. Cool them under cold water and set aside. Trim the thick core from each leaf.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • Lay each cabbage leaf out onto a work surface. Divide the filling into eight (around 3 tablespoonsa roll) then lay a portion on each leaf.
  • To roll, fold one end of the cabbage leaf over the filling. Fold in each side then roll into a log shape.
  • Place the cabbage rolls on a plate and chill before cooking. This recipe may be made up to one day ahead to this point.
  • To cook the cabbage rolls, place them in a steamer set over, not in, boiling water. Steam them for 15 minutes to thoroughly cook them. Serve them with a soy dipping sauce.

Tips

  • Prep the Cabbage Leaves: To make the cabbage leaves pliable and easy to roll, blanch them by dipping them in boiling water for a few seconds. Then, immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant green color.
  • Season the Meat Mixture Generously: Don't be afraid to season the meat mixture well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices to create a flavorful filling.
  • Roll the Cabbage Rolls Tightly: To prevent the cabbage rolls from falling apart during cooking, roll them tightly. Tuck in the sides of the cabbage leaves as you roll to ensure that the filling is completely enclosed.
  • Use a Dutch Oven or Large Pot: A Dutch oven or large pot is ideal for cooking the cabbage rolls. It provides enough space for the rolls to cook evenly and prevents them from overcrowding.
  • Simmer the Cabbage Rolls in a flavorful Broth: To add extra flavor to the cabbage rolls, simmer them in a flavorful broth made with beef broth, tomatoes, vegetables, and herbs. This broth will infuse the cabbage rolls with delicious aromas and keep them moist during cooking.
