Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

1/3 cup (generous) finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced seeded red jalepeño chilies
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 14 1/2-ounce can low-salt chicken broth
12 large green cabbage leaves, thick ribs trimmed
4 ounces thin green beans, ends trimmed, thinly sliced diagonally
1/2 pound ground chicken (white meat only)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine first six ingredients on medium bowl. Set sauce aside.

    Step 2

    Bring broth to boil in large saucepan. Working in batches, add cabbage leaves. Cover and simmer until leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer leaves to bowl of cold water. Drain leaves; pat dry. Add beans to broth in pan; until tender, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, add beans to sauce. Pour off all but 1/4 cup liquid from saucepan. Add chicken; stir over medium heat until cooked through, breaking up meat with spoon, about 3 minutes. Drain chicken; add to sauce. Season with salt. Cool. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover chicken mixture and cabbage seperately; chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)

    Step 3

    Place 1 cabbage leaf on work surface. Mound scant 1/4 cup chicken mixture in center of leaf. Fold in 3 sides of leaf; roll up to form bundle. Reapeat with remaining 11 cabbage leaves and chicken mixture.
