Description
Delicious and healthy cabbage dumplings that are perfect for a cozy family meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cabbage
- 1 cup of cooked and chopped lean ground meat (chicken, turkey, or tofu)
- 1 cup of chopped vegetables (carrots, onions, or mushrooms)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- Olive oil for cooking
- Herbs for seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by boiling a large pot of water and preparing a bowl of ice water. Carefully remove the core of the cabbage and gently peel off the leaves. Blanch the leaves in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender, then remove and place them in the ice water to halt the cooking process.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground meat, chopped vegetables, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Take a blanched cabbage leaf and carefully place a spoonful of the filling at the base of the leaf. Fold the sides over the filling to create a neat dumpling.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the dumplings in batches and cook until they are golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve hot and enjoy your healthy, delicious dumplings as a perfect snack or meal!
