The beauty of cabbage rolls lies largely in the fact that this dish always pleasantly surprises with the combination of flavors of various products.
When we cook cabbage rolls, pleasant aromas spread throughout the entire apartment.
However, many are disappointed by the fact that the dish seems dry.
What could this be related to?
Raw cereals
Many people add raw cereal to the mince. During the process of making cabbage rolls, the ingredient does not always have time to cook. As a result, it seems that the cabbage rolls are dry.
Therefore, the cereal is brought to half-cooked state and only then added to the minced meat.
Uses of rice
The ingredient of cabbage rolls is considered classic, but rice can often make cabbage rolls dry. It is known that this type of cereal actively absorbs moisture, which is why the filling is not juicy enough.
For variety, you can prepare cabbage rolls using buckwheat or bulgur.
Meat Dominance
Cabbage rolls are a meat dish, but the excess of the main component does not make the filling more juicy. On the contrary, due to the excess of meat, the dish comes out dry.
Therefore, do not forget to introduce aromatic herbs and vegetables as additional components.
Sizes of cabbage rolls
Not all housewives know that the juiciness of the dish can depend even on the size of the cabbage rolls. The tighter you try to "pack" the cabbage roll, the worse the dish will turn out.
If the filling is too dense, the cabbage rolls will come out dry.
