Let the rolls cool completely before storing. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. They also freeze well — place in a freezer-safe dish and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently.
Variations
Vegetarian twist: Swap the meat with lentils, mushrooms, or a mixture of quinoa and black beans.
Spicy version: Add red chili flakes to the filling or sauce for extra heat.
Eastern European flair: Use sauerkraut instead of fresh cabbage for a tangy twist.
FAQ
Q: Can I use purple cabbage?
A: Technically yes, but it’s tougher and might give the dish a slightly bitter edge. Green cabbage is more traditional and tender.
Q: Do I have to pre-cook the rice?
A: Pre-cooking helps ensure the filling is evenly cooked. If using raw rice, you’ll need to extend the cooking time and add extra liquid.
Q: Can I make these in the oven?
A: Absolutely! Layer the rolls in a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 1.5 hours.
