Cooking Instructions
Step 1
These are incredibly simple yet boast a fantastic visual appeal, making them a guaranteed hit! Wouldn’t you agree? Let’s dive into how to make these delicious cabbage wraps, which are also a wonderful nutritious snack for children!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the cabbage. Cabbage is packed with nutrients even when eaten raw, but for these wraps, we’ll blanch it lightly to make it tender. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the cabbage leaves, and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Then, rinse under cold water and drain thoroughly. This will give them the perfect tender texture for wrapping.
Step 3
Next, let’s prepare the filling. Crack two eggs into a bowl. Add the diced ham, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Remember, we’ll be adding ssamjang later, so season lightly – it should taste a bit bland on its own. Mix everything well.
Step 4
While blanching the cabbage, briefly blanch the chives as well. Chives cook very quickly, so about 30 seconds is enough. Rinse the blanched chives in cold water and drain. These will be used to tie the wraps. See how simple the ingredient preparation is?
Step 5
Now, place a suitable amount of the prepared filling onto each blanched cabbage leaf. You can also make a fried rice filling if you have leftover rice. Then, add about half a teaspoon of ssamjang for a delicious savory flavor. What do you think comes next?
Step 6
Gently fold the cabbage leaf around the filling, and then tie it securely in the middle with a blanched chive stalk. If you don’t have chives, green onions work too! It’s incredibly simple, isn’t it?
Step 7
And there you have it! Perfectly bite-sized cabbage wraps. They look so appealing and are just the right size to pop into your mouth. They are perfect for family members who might be feeling a bit under the weather or have a reduced appetite. You’ll love them!
