4. Stuffed Cabbage
In season 3, episode 6 (Midnight Diner), The Master prepared Roll Kyabetsu (stuffed cabbage) for the customers. I cannot find the suggested cabbage, but I still wanted to try the recipe.
Stuffed Cabbage Recipe
The ingredients are just seasoned minced meat and cabbage. You will use about 12 cabbage rolls for 1 pound of minced meat . Remove the center core of the cabbage and place the cabbage into boiling water. Cook the cabbage until pliable. Then remove and cool. Peel off each leaf. You may have to trim the thick veins of some of the cabbage leaves.
Add the stuffing to the center of the leaves and roll from the bottom up. Roll the cabbage tightly. You can use tooth picks to seal the leaves in. The rolls are boiled covered in a little water, for 30 minutes.
I steamed my rolls. You can serve yours with tomato sauce. Again you can go to town with variations for this simple recipe.

My family and I have been referring to your recipe site for years and will do so again this Christmas! Your writing is so easy to follow that when I read the recipe I think I might even be able to make it, and the dish always turn out good! We are also fans of the Japanese shows on Netflix. Cheers from Toronto.

Thanks so much for this. I’m also a fan of the show and the food. I’ll definitely be trying some of these recipes. I loved the butter rice episode. It immediately took me back to memories of eating butter rice at my grandmother’s house in Barataria.
