Steamed Cabbage Rolls

In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients for cabbage rolls except cabbage and chives.

Using a wooden spoon, chopsticks, or hand, stir vigorously in one direction until filling has a sticky consistency.

Allow to marinate in the chiller while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Bring a pan of water to boil, then add 2 leaves of napa cabbage.

Blanch for 30-45 seconds or until soften and pliable.

Continue blanching until all napa cabbage leaves are done.

Then do the same for the chives.

To wrap, scoop about 2-3 tbsp of meat filling onto an inch above the end/stem part of the napa cabbage.

Roll upwards, then tuck in the sides as you continue to roll.

Tie a butterfly knot around the cabbage roll with the blanched chives.

Place cabbage roll on heat proof plate, seam side down.

Continue until all the fillings are used.

Get a steamer going over high heat.

Steam for 10 minutes or until done.

Drain away excess liquid collected in the plate, or add that to the chicken broth.

Sauce

In a sauce pan, bring the chicken broth to a boil then add lemongrass, ginger, shallot, garlic, and wolf berries.

Lower heat to medium and allow to infuse for 3-5 minutes.

Season with sugar and fish sauce.

While stirring, drizzling in corn starch slurry to thicken sauce.

Remove from heat, discard lime leaves, ginger, shallot, and garlic.
