Steps

Prep 45 min, Cook 3 hours

1

Chop Onion finely; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2

In the mixing bowl, use your hand to combine all stuffing ingredients thoroughly kneading until the mixture is smooth as if you are going to form hamburger patties.
3

Make golf ball sized (50 to 55 g) meat balls. Set-aside.
4

Cut off the bottom of Napa cabbage and individually separate leaves gently. Wash them and roughly drain in a colander.
5

Layer the leaves on a large plate. Cover with a plastic film or a microwave food cover.
6

Cook in the microwave oven 3 to 5 min until the ridges become tender. Adjust cook time depending on your microwave oven.
7

Spread one cooked leaf from step 5 on the cutting board (or plate) and place one meat ball from step 3.
8

Wrap the meat ball slightly tighter to prevent loosen the roll during stewing.
9

Tip 1: If the ridge is too thick, pound it lightly with the back of the knife before wrapping.
10

Tip 2: If one leaf is too small, use a couple of leaves to wrap.
11

Put the cabbage rolls into the slow cooker (or large pot); arrange the cabbage rolls seam side down. Layer if necessary.
12

In a large measuring cup or a sauce pan, mix Tomato sauce and Soup stock.
13

Pour the mixture over the rolls; then add Bay leaves on top.
14

Cover with a lid, bring the stew to a boil.
15

Reduce heat to Medium temperature and cook 3 hours. Occasionally, turn the pot slowly to pour the sauce over the surface.
16

Serve and enjoy! A great party idea; you can also make these and freeze them for later use.
17

FYI: I found Napa cabbage is easier than regular green cabbage for wrapping and cooking. It also blends well with the flavour of the meat and has a delicate finish.
