Cabbage rolls are a classic autumn recipe, but these are Korean style cabbage rolls, a must!
I got inspired by a similar dish in South Korea, and I thought it was so flavourful and perfect to enjoy winter cabbage.
Filled with vegetables, rice and ground chicken. Perfect for a family dinner. If you are looking for a different recipe to enjoy cabbage, look no more.
Can I make them vegetarian?
We will use minced chicken meat for the filling but if you want to make it 100% vegetarian, you can use firm tofu. The filling in absolutely delicious both ways.
What type of cabbage can I use to make cabbage rolls?
Savoy cabbage is the classic one to make cabbage rolls as it has almost no hard stem. Can I use napa cabbage (kimchi cabbage)? Of course, actually it is my favourite as the stem part gets so soft and holds the filling perfectly.
