Steamed this cabbage wrap for dinner just now. First time try, not bad though. No oil, no pork smell, the taste very light also. The gravy i used here are the ones after steaming the wraps.

The fillings in the cabbage are minced pork, preferably lean minced meat if for healthier choice. I mixed some tofu (水豆腐) and finely chopped carrot and mushrooms in there for texture. So the pork wont taste so siap siap if you know what i mean. Adding the tofu changes the pork texture to a smoother 口感. Mushrooms and carrot are to own choice though. Can add chopped water chestnut in there for crunchy feel. But too bad i dun have chestnut today. Actually the filling is a bit like our house making hakka yong tau foo. Just that we add more things other than those mentioned.

OK, detailed ingredients down here.

What you need:

- Cabbage

Fillings:

- minced pork/ chicken (i always use aga-ration for ingredients. Go with your feel.)

- tofu (those in a box one with water inside)

- carrots, chop finely *to your choice*

- fresh mushrooms (not dried ones), chop finely *to your choice*

- water chestnuts, chop finely *to your choice*

Note: you can use onions, celery or whatever ingredients you can think of to put in there. You can also choose not to put anything, just plain minced meat and tofu. But if there's still leftover cabbage after tearing up to the amount you want, chopped it and mix with the fillings. Dun waste.

Method:

- 1:1 ratio of minced meat and tofu. mixed everything together well.

- Add those other veggies that are chopped in, mix well.

- Season it with some light soy sauce. Or you can choose to add these in the gravy after steaming.

- Tear some cabbage. Leave it in one full piece and not in small pieces.

- Get 2 to 3 spoonfuls of well mixed meat and put in the cabbage.

- Roll the cabbage like popiah and put in plate. Do so for all.

- Finish rolling, put the whole plate into steamer. Wait patiently for 20 mins or so to make sure that the meat are fully-cooked.

(you can also slice those extra fresh shrooms and put over the wraps and steam it together)

For nice presentation,

- Separate the gravy and mushrooms from the wraps

- Cook the gravy till boil, add some corn starch and just go over the wraps.

Or want watery watery gravy also can, after steaming just take out and it's edible. , i do recommend to mix some corn starch in, it's more appetizing

That's about how i made this dish. More to come i hope. Try it if you want some light dinner dish or trying out new recipes. Any questions, you can email me. My email address is at the sidebar.

Enjoy!!
