Sticky Rice Cabbage Rolls

A dim sum favorite meets cozy cabbage roll goodness.

Inspired by sticky rice dishes like Chinese Lo Mai Gai and Taiwanese YouFan, these cabbage rolls are stuffed with a super savory glutinous rice filling. It’s bolstered with shiitake mushrooms, sweet, fatty half moons of Chinese sausage, lots of ginger, garlic, garlic chives, cilantro, oyster sauce, and a splash of soy sauce. Finished with a drizzle of chili-crisp and a little bit of black vinegar, these rolls are rich, sumptuous, and packed with layers of umami goodness. Serve with steamed gai lan or yu choy.

A note about October’s third recipe: I was in India, including Kashmir for the last two weeks, and had very minimal internet in the latter region, so October’s final paid recipe for Aloo Palak Tacos Dorados is dropping into your inboxes tomorrow!
