  • Cabbage leaves - 4 large leaves
  • Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated

  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Take cabbage leaves and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they are pliable. Remove and set aside to cool.
  3. Form the meat mixture into patties and place a patty inside each cabbage leaf, folding the sides over to enclose the filling. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  4. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the cabbage roll patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
  5. Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet for about 1-2 minutes.
