HOW TO COOK CHICKEN CABBAGE ROLLS

Cooking the chicken cabbage rolls will involve several but simple steps. It is best to make when your dedication of working in the kitchen is at its peak, or its better if you have someone with you to work with. I say it’s kitchen time bonding time!

You will first need to prepare the napa cabbage leaves which will serve as the wrapper for the cabbage rolls. To effortlessly and efficiently separate the leaves, just cut the bottom thick part of the napa cabbage. Once you do this, the leaves will separate on its own. Boil some water and dip each leaf for a few seconds. The reason why we need to do this step is to soften the leaves, making it flexible for wrapping and rolling.

For the meat filling, you just simply combine all the ingredients and mix them well. You could actually use any type of meat that you like. But as we aim for a healthier option, we are going to use chicken in this recipe. Once the meat filling is done, create the cabbage rolls by placing a spoon of meat filling on a piece of leaf and then roll and wrap it. There is no need to use special sealers like egg whites or toothpicks. Since the leaves are wet, they will stick and seal on its own. Repeat this step until all the meat filling are consumed.  For the next step, you will be steaming the cabbage rolls. This is to further soften the leaves and to cook the meat filling. Chicken is very easy to cook so there will be no worries of under-cooking the meat filling. Cabbage rolls recipes are a different style.

You can actually stop on this step. But if you like to feed this to a picky child, you may wanna try to hide the vegetable. Prepare the fry coatings and deep each steamed cabbage roll starting with the cornstarch, egg and the breadcrumbs. Shallow-fry the rolls until golden brown and then drain the excess oil. Not only will this step hide the vegetable but will also make it a fingerfood which will be very convenient to eat. Serve the cabbage rolls with your favourite dip and enjoy!
