Good options are “beef + pork” and “pork + chicken”.

Rice, half cooked

Do not mix raw rice with minced meat. It is better to add partially cooked cereal to the meat base.

In this case, the ingredient will not absorb all the meat juice. In addition, the cook will be able to immediately find out what the actual volume of the filling will be.

Additional ingredients

Additional components will help improve the taste of the stuffing of cabbage rolls. Thus, minced meat and rice go perfectly with onions and fried champignons.

In addition, if desired, you can completely replace the meat component with mushrooms. It will also turn out very tasty.
