- Saute for few minutes to dry out the moisture.
- Simultaneously boil the big cabbage leaves in the pan we used for boiling noodles.
- Boil 1 leaf at a time, for 3-4 minutes or until slightly translucent.
- Don't over boil as we will be steaming it again. Just boil until its soft to roll properly
- Gently cut off the hard/thick stem part,if any by sliding the knife carefully. Do not cut through the leaf.
- Cut the boiled noodle into small sections and add to the vegetable mix.
- Saute till the moisture is dried out and keep aside.
- Now take one leaf, add 2-3 tbsp of stuffing and start rolling. Fold in the sides while rolling.
- It takes a little practice to get the perfect roll that don't open up.
- Make all the rolls like that.
- Grease a steaming plate and steam for 8-10 minutes.
- You can serve as it is. Or Saute in a tsp of oil on high heat just to get nice charring.
Notes :
- If you cut off the stem, it will be easier to get the leaves off cabbage.
- Noddles is option, skip it to make this dish gluten free. Or use GF noodles.
- If your rolls are not staying put and opening up, keep it in place using toothpick.
- You can add more vegetables of your choice in the stuffing
