Cabbage Rice Wraps

Cabbage Rice Wraps are a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional rice dishes, packed with flavorful ingredients and wrapped in tender cabbage leaves. Each bite is a harmonious blend of savory, sweet, and umami flavors, making it a satisfying and healthy meal.

Ingredients

• Green cabbage - 6 large leaves
• Cauliflower rice - 200 grams
• Ground chicken - 150 grams
• Green onion - 2 stalks, chopped
• Carrot - 50 grams, grated
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Fresh cilantro - a handful, chopped

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the cabbage leaves and blanch for about 2 minutes until they are slightly softened. Remove and set aside to cool.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
4. Stir in the cauliflower rice, grated carrot, chopped green onion, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, mixing well until everything is combined and heated through.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped cilantro.
6. To assemble, lay a cabbage leaf flat, spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center, and roll it up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
7. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with extra soy sauce or sesame oil.
