    When we think of cabbage rolls, they're mostly cooked inside a tomato sauce, but here in Japan, they're most commonly made in a citrus broth with soy sauce. I wanted to make these Paleo so I just switched the soy sauce for some coconut aminos and the taste didn't change at all.  In Japan, they sell the napa cabbage in different sizes like either in a full size or cut into half or quarters. I didn't want to use a whole cabbage so I just got a quarter and made these rolls with it!

    I usually make cabbage rolls with ground meat, but I thought that making them with big pieces of meat would be just as delicious and I was right!  I bought some thinly sliced pork chops and just diced the meat up.  It was really awesome as you could really taste the meat.

    Notes

    *Dashi is a Japanese broth.  They sell the granulated dashi in Asian supermarkets.  You can also make your own dashi by boiling some bonito flakes in water and straining the bonito flakes out after 15 minutes. The leftover water is dashi.

      Dashi? Why would you use that crap? MSG second ingredient after salt!

        Sigh..you could be nicer you know? I live in Japan and I have access to whatever Asian ingredient that I need, which includes pure Dashi that doesn’t have anything else in it. But for the sake of others, who do NOT live in Japan and do not have access to msg-free Dashi, I put a link to amazon so that they can get it and use it if they wish to.

        If you’re not comfortable using fish broth, then just use chicken broth or beef broth. You don’t have to be rude about it. Don’t like my suggestion? Move on.
