8
ingredients
- 1 head cabbage
- 600 g ground pork
- 1 (7 ounce) can Spam or (7 ounce) can chopped ham
- 2 stalks onion scallions (thinly sliced)
- 1 egg
- 1 medium size mashed russet potato
- salt and pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion (quartered)
- 1 (2 inch) cinnamon sticks
- 4 cloves
- 4 -6 peppercorns
- 1 (7 ounce) can campbells chicken soup
- 1 small nutmeg, seed grated
directions
- Boil some water in saucepan. Put in whole cabbage. Remove leaves individually.
- When leaves are cool, slice off the back center top rib of each leaf -this makes it easier to roll the meat in it.
- Mix together, the minced pork, the spam, the egg, the sliced green onions, mashed potato, pepper and salt. I like to add a little sherry or chinese rice wine at this point. It's up to you.
- Place one dessert spoonful of this mixture in each leaf and roll as in egg-roll style.
- Heat a little oil in saucepan, when hot, put in the quartered onion, cinnamon stick, pepper seeds, cloves and nutmeg seed.
- When onion is soft add the can of campbell chicken soup, stir, and add some water (depending on how much gravy you want).
- When soup begins to boil put in cabbage rolls, simmer for 5 to 10 mins, then turn off heat and serve with sambal belachan and hot rice.

I love trying different kinds of food, playing with flavours. I inherited it from my dad. We used to spend every Sunday, cooking something new. It was like a special day for us to spend time together.
Apart from cooking, I also love travelling. My favourite places are Jamaica, and Morocco. Nothing like sitting by the side of the road somewhere, eating Jerk Chicken or a Moroccan Sandwich!
