Steps:
- Remove and discard the core and outer leaves from the cabbage, undo the remaining cabbage leaves and place them in a pan of salted boiling water for 2 minutes to soften. Cool them in a bowl of cold water, drain and put to one side.
- In a food processor, whizz up your garlic, ginger, spring onions, coriander, chilli and fish sauce with a good pinch of salt. Then add the chicken, water chestnuts, lime zest and juice and sesame oil and pulse until you have a minced meat consistency.
- Place a heaped dessertspoonful of the flavoured mince on to one end of each cabbage leaf. Fold it up and tuck in the sides, then roll up. Rub a bamboo steamer, colander or normal steamer with a little olive oil and place in the cabbage parcels. They may try to unfold themselves, but once you start putting them next to each other they will hold in place. When they're all in, sit the steamer over a pan of boiling water, making sure the water doesn't touch the parcels and that it's just the steam that's cooking them. Put a lid on top and steam for about 6 minutes until cooked. If you're worried about the cooking time, take one of the parcels out and cut it in half to make sure that the heat has penetrated and that they're cooked.

Tips:
- Use wonton wrappers: These thin and delicate wrappers are perfect for making chicken parcels. They are easy to fold and seal, and they cook quickly.
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will make it easier to cut the chicken into small pieces.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and rice wine will help to flavor it and make it more tender.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the chicken parcels. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the chicken parcels: They should be cooked until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Serve with a dipping sauce: A simple dipping sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil is a great way to add extra flavor to the chicken parcels.
