Cabbage rolls in Beijing cabbage are an original reinterpretation of a traditional Russian dish that uses softer and juicier cabbage. This recipe combines the lightness of Beijing cabbage with nutritious chicken mince, complemented by aromatic spices and herbs. Two types of rice give the filling a special texture, while the tomato sauce made with onions and carrots adds depth of flavor. The rolls turn out light yet rich at the same time. Perfect for a family dinner or a cozy gathering. The history of cabbage rolls traces back to Eastern European cuisine, where they were a symbol of home comfort. In this version, they acquire a more delicate taste and become a great option for those who prefer light and healthy food.
