Simple Cabbage Rolls

1. 1

   Remove the cabbage leaves one at a time and microwave or parboil.

2. 2

   (Slice off the protruding part of the stalk, if desired.)

3. 3

   Thoroughly rub the ingredients into the sliced pork.

4. 4

   With the base of the stalk facing towards you, place 1 slice of pork on top of the cabbage leaf.

5. 5

   Roll 2 or 3 times, then fold in the sides and continue rolling (In our home, we don't secure the rolls with a toothpick.)

6. 6

   Arrange the rolls tightly in a pot, pour water with the dissolved consomme cube, then boil over medium heat.

7. 7

   While boiling, remove any scum that may rise to the top, then cover with a drop lid (otoshibuta) and continue to simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

8. 8

   Sprinkle with salt or other spices of your choice and serve.

9. 9

   Since the rolls are packed tightly in the pot, they will not come undone.

    The insides should look like this.

    Coat in ketchup to taste.
