Stuffed Asian Cabbage Rolls

Submitted by loof751

"These cabbage rolls are meat-free, easy-to-make, and delicious! The recipe came from a cookbook called "Stand By Your Pan: Country Music Cookbook" by Diane Pfeifer. Her funny alternative country-music-inspired title for the recipe is "Wabash Cabbage Balls" :)"

Yum! I halved the recipe and used pecans instead of walnuts. I did add some nutritional yeast and a little more broth to make the amount of sauce I wanted. A good starting point too, maybe next time will add a few more veggies. Thanks! Made for PRMR game.
