Steamed Cabbage Rolls

This is definitely a healthy recipe that you can actually enjoy. I could eat a lot of these and not feel guilty about it later. My father has been health conscious lately so I learned to make these for our whole family to enjoy. 

Recipe for Steamed Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients:

• 500g ground chicken
• 2 pcs red onions, minced
• 1 pc medium carrot, minced (1 cup)
• 1 tsp of minced ginger (optional)
• 4 cloves of minced garlic
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp salt 
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 large cabbages or 1 large napa cabbage (for wrapping)

For the sauce:

• chili garlic oil
• Soy sauce
• Calamansi juice

Instructions:

1. For the chicken filling: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix well until everything is well combined. Set it aside.
2. For the wrapper: Remove the core of the cabbages then separate cabbage leaves. Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for at least 3-4 minutes. Drain and let it cool completely.
3. Lay one cabbage leaf flat on a surface. Slice the middle part of the cabbage in a triangular shape to remove the hard part of the cabbage. Add the filling in the middle (about 1-2 tbsp) then wrap the sides of it then roll. 
4. Steam the wrapped cabbage rolls for 10 minutes.
5. For the sauce: combine chili oil, soy sauce, and calamansi juice depending on your preference. 
6. Serve cabbage rolls topped with sauce and enjoy.
