Ingredients

Instructions

1. Microwave the napa cabbage leaves until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Cut off the thick white parts if they are too thick. Let them cool completely.
2. Cut the green onion very thinly, and slice the ginger thinly.
3. Chop the cut-off cabbage and the brown onion finely. Mix in a bowl with the pork, panko, egg and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix very well, then divide and shape into 8 oblong balls.
4. Wrap each ball in a cabbage leaf, tucking the end under. Place them in a pot that holds all 8.
5. Pour in 2 cups dashi and heat over medium heat. Cover with parchment paper and cook for 10 minutes.
6. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sake, 1/2 tablespoon mirin and the sliced ginger. Cook 10 more minutes, spooning the broth over the cabbage from time to time.
7. Season with salt to taste and serve topped with the sliced green onion.
