Napa Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 large Napa cabbage

  • 2 medium cucumbers, sliced

  • 2 medium carrots, sliced

  • 1 bell pepper

  • Optional: Cooked chicken, pork, tofu or other protein

  • Optional: 1 bunch fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry vegetables. Cut off the majority of white stalk from cabbage, and separate leaves.

  2. With a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, cut cucumbers and carrots into long, thin, noodle-like strips. Cut bell pepper into long, thin matchsticks. Dice up cilantro leaves.

  3. Optional: If you’re adding a protein, cook or re-heat your chicken, pork, tofu, etc. Tofu can be prepared by cutting the block into long, thin slices, where the “face” is about 1½ inches wide. Heat 1 tbsp oil, and cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes on each side.

  4. Create rolls by spreading out a cabbage leaf, and filling with peeled veggies, meat, and cilantro. Place them at the base of the leaf, so you can roll the leave over a few times. Tuck and roll up your wrap, and dip in your delicious peanut sauce! Toothpicks can help to keep the wraps from unrolling.

Time estimates depend on whether you add a protein
