Ingredients

  • 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
  • 3 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 4 mushrooms, finely chopped (cremini or white button work well)
  • 1 block (200–250g) of firm tofu, crumbled
  • 4 tbsp cooked rice (brown rice adds extra fiber)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1-2 tbsp corn starch
  • 8-10 Napa cabbage leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large pan over medium heat, sauté the carrot, spring onions, and mushrooms for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the crumbled tofu and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring well to combine.
  3. Stir in the cooked rice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce.
  4. Sprinkle the corn starch over the mixture and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the Napa cabbage leaves for about 1 minute until just tender. Drain and gently pat them dry.
  6. Place a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the filling near the base. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly. Repeat.
  7. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add rolls seam-side down and pan-fry for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chilli oil, Sriracha, mushroom sauce, and water. Taste and adjust.
  9. Serve the cabbage rolls warm, drizzled with the sauce or with the sauce on the side for dipping.
