This recipe is the Chinese style cabbage rolls that I used to make as a teenager. The flavor still lingers on in my memory after a lapse of so many years. (Imagine my son has already married!).
I still vaguely remember the process and have made some tweaks, by adding a thick sauce to glaze the cabbage rolls before serving.
No fancy ingredients are required. All the ingredients are available in my kitchen pantry.
It is a nutritious and balanced meal.
