Asian Stuffed Cabbage image

This is from Martha Stewart, Body and Soul magazine. I served it with Thai Dipping Sauce #33113 and it was amazing. I substituted ground turkey for the beef and regular cabbage. I had to eat four of them! Compliment with some Pinot Grigio and you will be in heaven. From Martha - "Look for 91 percent lean beef, which is comparable nutritionally and caloriewise to 93 percent lean ground turkey; it's also lower in cholesterol. In addi­tion to providing zinc and fiber, shiitakes bear cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering compounds."

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 Rolls, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces ground sirloin
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps coarsely chopped
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil or 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 head napa cabbage

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400º.
  • In a large bowl, combine: ground beef sirloin, shiitake mushrooms, brown rice, garlic cloves, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt.
  • Remove 8 large outer leaves from cabbage (if leaves are less than 5 inches wide, overlap 2 leaves, side by side). With a rolling pin, roll each leaf until the stem end is pliable.
  • Dividing among leaves, mound meat mixture toward upturned stem end. Starting from filled end, holding sides in as you work, tightly roll each leaf into a bundle.
  • Arrange cabbage rolls, seam-side down, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pour 1 cup water over rolls; cover dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 160º when in­serted into a roll, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve drizzled with juices and sprinkled with red pepper, if desired. (Or dip in Thai Dipping Sauce #33113 - Yum!).
