Directions
1. Saute the Vegetables
In a large pan over medium heat, sauté the carrots, spring onions, and mushrooms for 3–4 minutes until softened.
2. Add the Tofu
Add the crumbled tofu and cook for another 2 minutes, mixing well.
3. Mix in Rice and Seasonings
Stir in the cooked rice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly.
4. Thicken the Mixture
Sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture and cook for another 1–2 minutes while stirring until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Blanch the Cabbage Leaves
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the Napa cabbage leaves for about 1 minute until just softened. Drain and gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
6. Fill and Roll the Cabbage Leaves
Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the base. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
7. Pan-Fry the Rolls
In a non-stick pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down and pan-fry each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and lightly crisped.
8. Make the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chili oil, sriracha, oyster sauce, and water. Taste and adjust spice or saltiness as needed.
9. Serve and Enjoy
Serve the cabbage rolls hot with the dipping sauce on the side or drizzled on top. Enjoy!
