Ingredients

  • 1 Savoy cabbage
  • 1 bunch spring onions
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 fresh red chilli, halved and seeded
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander
  • thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp coconut cream
  • 2 skinless chicken breasts (about 150g each), cut into large chunks
  • zest of 1 lime
  • pinch of salt
  • To serve
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Soy sauce
  • chilli sauce

Directions

1

Remove and discard the outer leaves of the cabbage and place 8 leaves in a pan of boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and allow to cool down.

2

Place all the other ingredients in a food processor and whiz for 30 seconds to a coarse mince.

3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal amounts. Grease the bottom of a steamer with a bit of olive oil. Take a soft cabbage leaf and place the mince in the middle, then fold in the sides until you have a closed parcel. Lay it in the colander so the parcel holds it shape and repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves. Steam for about 10 minutes until cooked.

4

Serve with a drizzle of soy sauce, sesame seeds and chilli sauce for dipping. thumb|274px|Asian Cabbage Parcels
