A budget-friendly, easy, and exquisite dish made by simply rolling and simmering seasonal napa cabbage and chicken breast. The tender chicken breast and melt-in-your-mouth napa cabbage are coated in a mild white sauce, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice. This dish can be easily prepared in just one pan.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Napa Cabbage 6 leaves
  • Chicken Breast 200g
  • Potato Starch (for coating) as needed

Seasonings

  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 1 tbsp
  • [A] All-purpose Flour 2 tsp
  • [A] Milk 50ml

Steps

  1. Prepare 6 leaves of Napa Cabbage (cut into 5-6cm widths). Cut in half if large.
  2. Wrap the napa cabbage in plastic wrap and place on a heatproof dish.
  3. Microwave at 600W for 3 minutes. (Key Tip!) Microwaving the napa cabbage makes it easier to roll and ensures the core is cooked through and delicious.
  4. After microwaving, remove the plastic wrap and let cool slightly.
  5. In a bowl, gradually add 2 tsp of All-purpose Flour and 50ml of Milk, stirring to combine without lumps.
  6. Remove the skin from 1 Chicken Breast (200g) and butterfly it into two pieces.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a rolling pin until it's slightly larger. (Key Tip!) Pounding the chicken breast and dusting it with potato starch will make it tender and moist.
  8. Cut each breast into three equal pieces lengthwise.
  9. Season with Salt and Pepper to taste and coat the surface with Potato Starch as needed. (Key Tip!) The potato starch acts as a binder, helping the chicken stick to the napa cabbage and preventing the rolls from falling apart for a neat finish.
  10. Place the slightly cooled napa cabbage on a flat surface.
  11. Make a slit about 5mm wide in the thickest part of the napa cabbage core. (Key Tip!) Slitting the core makes the napa cabbage easier to roll.
  12. Place the potato starch-coated chicken onto the slit napa cabbage and roll. (Key Tip!) Rolling the chicken skin inside will add more flavor and make it even more delicious.
  13. Place the rolls seam-side down in a frying pan. (Key Tip!) Placing them seam-side down prevents them from unraveling, and you can easily cook them by adding ingredients and simmering.
  14. Add 150ml of Water and 1 tbsp of Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) to the frying pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  15. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 8 minutes.
  16. Check if the chicken is cooked through by looking from the sides. If it's not fully cooked, add 1-2 more minutes to the cooking time.
  17. Once cooked, turn off the heat.
  18. Mix the milk and flour mixture well and pour it into the pan. (Key Tip!) Mixing milk and flour beforehand will naturally create a thickened sauce.
  19. Cook over low heat until the sauce thickens. (Key Tip!) If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little water or milk to adjust the consistency as needed.
  20. Coat the napa cabbage rolls with the sauce.
  21. Once the sauce has thickened and coated the napa cabbage, it is ready.
  22. Plate and garnish with dried parsley, if desired.
