Asian Cabbage Rolls with Spicy Pork

Notes:

THESE CABBAGE ROLLS take more than a cue from the spicy gingered pork inside Chinese dumplings. They're stuffed with the fresh flavors of cilantro, soy sauce, sesame, and scallion. This recipe makes a double pan, since you will definitely want leftovers of this light and delicious dinner! • Serves 8
