Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup cooked rice (optional)
  • 810 cabbage leaves
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce or sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch cabbage leaves for 2–3 minutes until pliable. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add ground chicken, cooking until browned. Stir in soy sauce, hoisin or chili sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until fully done. Let cool slightly.
  4. Mix in cooked rice and chopped green onions (if using).
  5. Place a spoonful of the filling on each cabbage leaf. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides like a burrito.
  6. Arrange the rolls in a baking dish and brush or spoon extra sauce over the top.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until heated through.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a touch of ginger to the filling.
  • Use Savoy or green cabbage for best results.
  • Skip rice for a low-carb version or use quinoa.
  • Freeze unbaked rolls for up to 2 months.
  • Steaming instead of baking is a great alternative method.
