Cabbage rolls are popularly cooked at home in Japan. In this recipe, ground pork, vegetables, and mushrooms are used for the filling. For additional flavor, I like to put some ketchup on top.
Ingredients:
- 8 large cabbage leaves
- 3/4 lb ground pork
- 4 shiitake mushrooms, minced
- 1/2 onion, minced
- 1 carrot, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- pepper
- 2 cup chicken soup stock
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
Preparation:
Wash cabbage leaves and steam or boil them to soften. Mix ground pork, shiitake, carrot, and onion in a bowl. Season with pepper and salt and mix further. Divide the pork mixture into 8 portions. Put one portion of pork mixture on a cabbage leaf and roll it. Close the roll with a toothpick. Make 8 cabbage rolls. Place cabbage rolls in a large pan. Pour chicken soup stock and soy sauce in pan. Simmer the cabbage rolls on low heat until meat is cooked.
