MH Recipe: Chinese Cabbage Rolls

Most of us love crabs but loathe the hassle of having to shell the crustaceans. Thankfully, most supermarkets now sell crabmeat, which is suitable for making salad, soup and even a roll like this one.

Crabmeat is an excellent source of high-quality protein. It also contains vitamin A, B vitamins and vitamin E as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc. It is also very lean: a 100g serving only contains 1.8g of fat!

You Need:
(For Filling)
4 cups crabmeat (can be replaced with minced fish meat)
2 black mushrooms (medium size) finely chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 tsp white wine (optional)
1 hard boiled egg, finely chopped
1 tsp sesame oil

You Also Need:
4 Chinese cabbage leaves, blanched to soften

You Do:
1 Mix all the ingredients for the filling evenly in a bowl. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

2 Scoop the mixed ingredients onto the softened cabbage leaves.

3 Fold securely to make a wrap.

4 Steam the cabbage wraps for 15 minutes and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
