Simple Cabbage Rolls
- 20 leaves Cabbage
- 200 grams Thinly sliced pork
- 5 to 6 shakes each Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp Grated garlic
- 1 Consomme stock cube
- 250 ml Water
- 1 tsp or more Salt
- Remove the cabbage leaves one at a time and microwave or parboil.
- (Slice off the protruding part of the stalk, if desired.)
- Thoroughly rub the ingredients into the sliced pork.
- With the base of the stalk facing towards you, place 1 slice of pork on top of the cabbage leaf.
- Roll 2 or 3 times, then fold in the sides and continue rolling (In our home, we don't secure the rolls with a toothpick.)
- Arrange the rolls tightly in a pot, pour water with the dissolved consomme cube, then boil over medium heat.
- While boiling, remove any scum that may rise to the top, then cover with a drop lid (otoshibuta) and continue to simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt or other spices of your choice and serve.
- Since the rolls are packed tightly in the pot, they will not come undone.
- The insides should look like this.
- Coat in ketchup to taste.
