Think of these verdant cigar-shaped beauties as a cross between Polish gołąbki and classic steamed dumplings. In place of the dumpling skin is a tender steamed cabbage leaf that houses a flavorful pork and shrimp filling imbued with ginger, garlic, and plenty of aromatics. The filling gets tightly rolled into a log shape, then steamed until cooked through. Served with a simple dipping sauce, the rolls are decidedly moreish, perfect for serving to a crowd.
While using a steamer basket makes quick work of cooking them, you can make a DIY version by placing a colander directly in a pot with about an inch of simmering water or coiling up a piece of foil to prop up a heatproof plate. Depending on the size of your setup, just note that you might have to cook the rolls in multiple batches.
