Stuffed cabbage is a simple southern Vietnamese dish that my Mom used to make. My family likes it in a soup, so my Mom usually made the cabbage rolls, and then dropped them into a chicken or pork bone broth that she prepared seperately and garnished with chopped green onions, and served as hot soup. Another comfort food for me as a kid.
It has been such a long time I haven't had it, and have actually forgotten about this popular Vietnamese dish. Until recently I came across ShavedIceSunday's entry on stuffed steamed cabbage, it was like a suddenly awaken childhood memory...lol....so I figured I would make this dish myself.
I followed her recipe pretty closely so I won't repost a recipe here. I didn't have time to try making the sauce, however, so I just used soysauce to dip. The trick is to blanch the cabbage leaves and onions, it makes it much easier to roll and wrap.
