  • ¼ cup leak, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated, or 1 pinch of dried ginger
  • ½ pound ground lean beef (chicken can be used )

Method:

  1. In a large pot, cook the cabbage leaves in boiling water until soft enough to be used as wrapping.

  3. In a medium skillet, saute the leek, ginger, beef, and garlic until the beef is cooked through.

  6. Arrange the cabbage rolls in the skillet; pour in the broth and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
