Japanese Cabbage Rolls ロールキャベツ
This dish consists of cabbage leaves wrapped around different ground meat such as pork, beef, or chicken. Japanese Cabbage Rolls are served warm with sauce so it’s considered a wholesome dish, which is perfect for a cold day.
There are many Japanese dishes that have extensive Western influence such as omurice, and this Japanese recipe is one of them. This dish is usually served with tomato sauce using chopped tomato as the base but I like to use soy sauce to make my sauce instead and therefore it’s more Japanese or Wafu style.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Flip the cabbage upside down. Cut around and remove the core. Carefully remove the leaves. Try your best to not tear off the leaves but it’s okay if you have small tears here and there. We will need 4 to 6 large leaves for this recipe. My cabbage is relatively large so 4 leaves are enough for me. If you have a smaller cabbage, increase the number of cabbage leaves as needed
- 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Then add the cabbage leaves. Boil for about 1 minute or until the core is soft.
- 3
When the cabbage is ready, take them out and immediately place into an ice bath to chill
- 4
Trim off the thick vein in the middle of the leaves. It’ll make rolling the cabbage leaves easier later.
- 5
Finely mince the veins. We’ll add it to the ground pork mixture later
- 6
Finely dice the carrot. Thinly slice the green onion and grate the ginger
- 7
In a clean bowl, add ½ lb of the ground meat, green onion, 1/3 cup of diced carrot, 1 tsp of grated ginger, 1/2 tsp of soy sauce, 1/4 tsp of sesame oil, 1 egg, 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of corn starch. Mix everything together.
- 8
Add the chopped cabbage vein we saved earlier. Mix again. Let it sit in refrigerator for about 30 minutes which will help set the ingredients together.
- 9
Divide the meat mixture into 4 portions
- 10
On a cutting board, lay the cabbage flat. Add 1 portion of the meat mixture near the stem end of the leaf. Tightly roll up from the stem end and fold in both sides as you go. Keep rolling until there is no more cabbage. Secure the roll by inserting a toothpick in the middle. Do the same for all the other cabbage leaves
- 11
Place the cabbage rolls into a pan
- 12
Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and add ½ tsp of soy sauce. Turn on the heat and bring the broth to a boil. Soy sauce will give this dish the color and flavor
- 13
When the broth comes to a boil, cover with a lid, lower the heat to medium high and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- 14
When the time is up, turn off the heat and you’re done
- 15
Tomato Version: In a pan, add all the ingredients like in the soy sauce version. Instead of 1/2 tsp of soy sauce, add in the chopped tomatoes
- 16
To serve, in a shallow serving bowl or plate, place the cabbage rolls then add remaining juice and sprinkle with sliced green onion
