This is from Martha Stewart, Body and Soul magazine. I served it with Thai Dipping Sauce #33113 and it was amazing. I substituted ground turkey for the beef and regular cabbage. I had to eat four of them! Compliment with some Pinot Grigio and you will be in heaven. From Martha - "Look for 91 percent lean beef, which is comparable nutritionally and caloriewise to 93 percent lean ground turkey; it's also lower in cholesterol. In addi­tion to providing zinc and fiber, shiitakes bear cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering compounds."

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a large, firm cabbage with tightly packed leaves. This will ensure that the cabbage rolls hold their shape during cooking.
  • Blanch the cabbage leaves: This process will soften the leaves and make them more pliable, making it easier to roll them. To blanch the leaves, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the cabbage leaves into the boiling water for 1-2 minutes, or until they are slightly wilted. Immediately remove the leaves from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The fillings for Asian stuffed cabbage can be as varied as your imagination. Some popular options include ground pork, beef, or lamb; rice; vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions; and herbs and spices. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations to find your favorite.
  • Roll the cabbage rolls tightly: Once you have prepared your filling, it's time to roll the cabbage rolls. Place a cabbage leaf on a flat surface and spoon some filling into the center. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and then roll the leaf up tightly, starting from the bottom. Tuck in the ends of the leaf to secure the roll.
  • Cook the cabbage rolls: There are several ways to cook Asian stuffed cabbage rolls. You can steam them, bake them, or simmer them in a sauce. Steaming is the healthiest option, as it preserves the nutrients in the cabbage and filling. To steam the cabbage rolls, place them in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the cabbage rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Asian stuffed cabbage is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its variety of fillings and cooking methods, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting meal to try, give Asian stuffed cabbage a try. You won't be disappointed.
