Cabbage Roll, also known as stuffed cabbage, is a popular western-style Japanese dish that involves stuffing ground meat into cabbage leaves and cooking them in tomato or consommé soup. It has become a favorite home-cooked entree for everyday dinners in Japan. While Cabbage Roll is a more directly European-inspired dish, Stuffed Nappa Cabbage incorporates more Japanese ingredients and seasonings. This variation is particularly appealing if you enjoy the taste of Dashi soup.
