What's the secret to perfect cabbage rolls: it all depends on the cabbage
Cabbage rolls are one of the most popular and beloved dishes in Russian cuisine.
Despite this indisputable fact, many housewives encounter problems when preparing this dish, which, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova , can be easily avoided by following a few simple tips.
Perhaps, the most important thing for preparing delicious cabbage rolls is choosing the right cabbage.
When you go to the store or market for this vegetable, choose young cabbage with rich green leaves.
These leaves are softer and juicier, and easier to work with.
The shape of the head also matters: avoid buying heads that are flattened.
Most of the leaves in such forks will probably end up “crumpled” – there’s no point in even thinking about forming a neat cabbage roll out of them.
Some housewives, by the way, use Chinese cabbage to prepare this dish, since its leaves are tender, juicy and cook quickly, and as a result, you get very tasty cabbage rolls.
