Ingredients

Step cooking

Prepare the products

1. We take Chinese cabbage weighing about 500 g, after which we disassemble it into leaves. In each sheet we cut off the hard part, and finely chop the soft part with a sharp knife.
   
2. Separately, cut the hard part of the cabbage into small, thin cubes.
   
3. Pour some water into a small pot and add 100 g of rice.
   
4. Boil the rice until half cooked, and then we discard it in a colander to get rid of excess moisture. We clean one onion, then rinse and finely chop with a knife.
   

We form cabbage rolls

1. In a roomy bowl we spread 500 g of any minced meat.
   
2. There we send chopped onions and rice cooked until half ready. Break one chicken egg on top of the rice, and then put about half a teaspoon of salt and the desired amount of ground black pepper. Last add chopped soft portion of Beijing cabbage. The soft part should be approximately 250 g.
   
3. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until a homogeneous forcemeat is obtained. Forcemeat well beat off on the table, and then form neat oval cutlets from it weighing about 70-80 g.
   
4. Separately, pour 60-100 g of flour, and then carefully roll the product into it.
   
5. We spread the cabbage rolls on a baking sheet, previously greased with 20-30 ml of vegetable oil.
   
6. We send products to the oven preheated to 200 ° C, where we bake for 15-20 minutes.
   

Make the sauce

1. Onions of medium size finely chopped with a sharp knife.
   
2. We rub one carrot on a grater with large teeth.
   
3. Pour 20-30 ml of vegetable oil into the pan. Put the chopped onion on the heated oil and fry it until transparent. We send carrots there, after which we fry the vegetables together for about 1-2 minutes. On top of the fried vegetables, spread the chopped hard part of Beijing cabbage. Mix the ingredients, and then fry them for another 2-3 minutes.
   
4. After this time, add 20 g of tomato paste, 150 g of sour cream of any fat content.
   
5. We mix the mass, and then fill it with 500 ml of bottled water. Salt and pepper to taste, and then add dried herbs, bay leaf. Using a press, squeeze 3 cloves of garlic and send them to the cooking sauce. Stew the sauce for another 3-5 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
   

The final stage

1. After the specified time, remove the cabbage rolls from the oven and pour them with the prepared sauce.
   
2. We return the product back to the incandescent furnace, where we bake it for another half hour at 200 ° C. The finished dish is served hot.
