Method

  1. 1 Separate the cabbage leaves and blanch them for 2 minutes to soften them without making them mushy.
  2. 2 Trim the midrib of the leaf thinly so that the leaf can be rolled up without cracking.
  3. 3 Chop the shrimp coarsely, then mix it with minced pork, soaked and chopped shiitake mushrooms, and pepper.
  4. 4 Place the filling inside the leaf, then roll it tightly and fold the two edges inwards.
  5. 5 Arrange the rolls closely together on the plate so they don't unravel when steamed.
  6. 6 Steam over high heat for 14 minutes, then drain off the released liquid, simmer with cornstarch to make a sauce, and pour over the dish.

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 33 min

    Replace step 6: steam the cabbage rolls under low pressure for 7 minutes, then quickly release the pressure, and use the released liquid to make the sauce as in the original recipe; steps 1–5 remain the same.
