Ingredients

  • 500 g pork mince
  • 150 g firm tofu crumbled
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 carrot finely diced
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 4 dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated and finely diced
  • ½ c cooked rice cooled
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 16 large wombok leaves
  • Sambal or chilli garlic sauce to serve

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine pork mince, tofu, garlic, carrot, onion, mushrooms, rice, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring a pot of water to the boil. Add cabbage leaves, and simmer for two minutes, or until soft and pliable. You may need to do a few leaves at a time.
  • Lay two leaves on a board, overlapping. Add about one third of a cup of pork and tofu filling to the bottom of the roll, shaping it into a rough log. Roll upwards, tucking in the side of the cabbage leaves to create a little parcel. Repeat with remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
  • Prepare a bamboo steaming basket over a pan of simmering water. Arrange 2-4 cabbage rolls in a shallow dish (one that will fit into your steamer basket). Steam for 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Serve your cabbage rolls with a dollop of sambal or chilli garlic sauce on top.
