Tender yet firm: a little secret to perfect cabbage rolls
Many housewives complain that they rarely manage to cook cabbage rolls with the perfect consistency.
In some cases, the cabbage remains too hard and tough.
In other cases, the vegetable “envelope” turns out to be very overcooked.
How can we ensure that cabbage rolls are both tender and firm?
A little secret was shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova .
The Essence of the Culinary Trick
To ensure that the cabbage leaves are fully cooked while still retaining their elasticity, the cabbage rolls must be pre-heat treated before stewing.
We are talking about the most common frying in a pan.
Place the envelopes with raw filling on a heated dish, which already contains a mixture of two types of oil - vegetable and butter.
Fry the cabbage rolls on each side for 90 seconds. The cabbage will brown and get a crust, so it will definitely not be “spoiled” during stewing.
Earlier, gourmets were explained why sugar should be added to minced meat.
