Ingredients

1 kg pork mince
2 cubes garlic paste or 2 tsp minced garlic
2 cubes ginger paste or 2 tsp minced ginger
4 shallots/scallions, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil, for frying
1 wombok (Chinese cabbage) you will only use half of this
olive oil spray
tamari soy sauce, to serve can sub with coconut aminos for paleo
sesame seed oil, to serve
salt
pepper

Instructions

Heat olive oil in pot on the stove and saute the spring onions for a few minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, fry about 1 minute. Add your pork mince and season with salt and pepper. Cook until pork mince is cooked through. Set aside.
Place a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil. Peel off any leaves that have gone bad on the outside of the wombok and discard. Carefully pull leaves off one at a time, taking care not to rip them. You want to use the big outer leaves first and then when you run out, the smaller inner leaves. Trim the ends of the stem, about where the green leafy but starts. Reduce boiling water to a simmer and add 3-4 leaves to the pot. Push them down into the water with tongs so they are fully submerged for about 30 secs. You don’t need to cook them, you just want them soft enough that you can bend and work with them. Transfer to a strainer. Then to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the leaves.
Lay a cabbage leaf spread out on your chopping board. Place a spoonful of meat at the bottom of the leaf. The amount will depend on how big your cabbage leaf is, if you put too much it will spill out when you try to roll it. Fold over the bottom of the cabbage leaf stem. There is a photo to show you what I mean. Fold over the sides and then roll it up carefully.
Lift carefully and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and sprayed with oil. Repeat for the rest of the cabbage and pork mince.
When you have all your rolls on trays, spray with more oil. Bake in the oven at 200C for approximately 15 minutes.
Serve drizzled with tamari and sesame seed oil.
