Recipe

Ingredients

10-12 Chinese cabbage leaves (thick part of white stem removed)
250gms pork mince
1/4 cup chopped dried shiitake mushrooms (soaked first for 1 hour)
1/4 chopped spring onions (scallion)
2 tbsp finely chopped ginger
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1 egg

Method

Thoroughly combine all ingredients (except leaves).
If cabbage leaves are thick blanch in salty boiling water briefly, then cool immediately in cold water (mine didn't need it).
Take a spoonful of pork mixture and place on cabbage leaf.
Roll up, folding sides in as well to hold in mixture.
Repeat until leaves/mixture used up.
Steam on top of stove for 15 mins.
Serve with a little Chinese black vinegar with some sesame oil mixed in as a dipping sauce.

murphyscreek how did you serve this dish? Any dipping sauce? I can see that with something like a dumpling dipping sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, etc...
Oh did you hear my stomach grumble? GIMME!!!

Just some black vinegar with some sesame oil stirred in.

I like the fact it uses Chinese cabbage, and fresh, as I mentioned earlier in another thread, we are standardised to think about Sauerkraut for those rolls, but I once tried making those with fresh cabbage, following a Japanese recipe, and it was a revelation.
It looks delicious and is healthy and filling for sure. Oh yes, and steaming I think is an excellent choice.
