For the Rolls

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Carefully peel away several outer leaves from the Napa cabbage, trim the stems, and steam leaves for 10-12 minutes until tender.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked ground meat, chopped mushrooms, and minced garlic. Season and mix thoroughly.
  3. Place a spoonful of filling near the base of a cabbage leaf and roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
  4. In a saucepan, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin or vinegar, and sugar over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  5. Create a cornstarch slurry with water and add to the sauce, cooking for an additional minute until thickened.
  6. Steam the assembled rolls in a steamer basket for 10-12 minutes until heated through.
  7. Transfer rolls to a plate, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with chopped scallions.

Notes

Ensure cabbage leaves are steamed just right—tender but firm enough to hold their shape. Allow cooked rolls to cool completely before freezing.
