• 1/4 lb shiitake mushrooms, chopped
• 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
• 4 - 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bunch scallions or 1 small yellow onion, minced

• 2 tsp rice vinegar
• 2 Tbsp fresh ginger, chopped
• 2 Tbsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp sriracha or chili sauce
• 1 cups veggie or chicken stock
• 1 head of Napa cabbage leaves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Prepare filling by combining ground meat, carrots, cooked rice, garlic, ginger, onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and egg in a large mixing bowl.
3. Wash and dry cabbage leaves. Use a rolling pin to flatten the leaves to make them easier to roll.
4. Spoon filling into each leave and roll as tightly as possible and place side by side in a large baking dish. Pour stock over the cabbage rolls and cover with foil.
5. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through.

Optional: Top with sriracha for extra kick and color.
