Cabbage rolls are a tasty but complex dish.
Still, not every housewife is able to prepare cabbage rolls so that they are not only tasty, but also keep their shape.
Before you start cooking, it is worth learning the basic secrets of preparing the perfect dish.
First of all, you need to choose the right cabbage. It is better to take a young, medium-density head of cabbage. The leaves need to be boiled with salt for about 5-10 minutes.
When everything is ready and the leaves are filled with stuffing, you need to wrap the cabbage rolls into an envelope. In this case, you should do it like this: the filling should be on the inside of the leaf, then you need to close it with a stalk, and then you need to tuck in the sides of the leaf and wrap the cabbage roll.
Another simple way to roll is to roll the leaves into a tube and push the ends into the middle of the cabbage roll.
And the last method is a little bag. The technique is simple and well-known, but the top should be pushed into the middle of the cabbage roll.
If you follow these simple rules, the cabbage rolls will hold their shape perfectly when served.
