Cabbage Curry Wraps

My mom believes that cabbage has healing powers. That's probably why we have an entire fridge dedicated only to kimchee, right??
She steamed an entire head of kimchee to eat with her pork, so I made my own dish using the cabbage as wraps. Cabbage works nicely as a wrap as an alternative to lettuce and seaweed or even rice paper. I used to hate cabbage, but it has grown on me :)

Cabbage Curry Wraps
20 min, Serves 2
1/2 head cabbage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon jalapeno, finely chopped
1/3 cup carrots, grated
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 medium king oyster mushroom
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
6 oz tofu, cubed
1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 table spoon curry powder


1. Rinse cabbage. Chop in half (from top to base) and remove stem. Allow water to run in between the leaves and lightly shake to remove some water. Place cabbage cut side up in a medium bowl and cover with another bowl. Microwave for about 5 minutes and allow it to sit a few minutes still covered to continue steaming.
2. Heat oil in a non stick pan and add rest of ingredients except tofu, cilantro and curry. Stir fry for about 4 minutes until ingredients begin to get soft. Add the remaining ingredients and continue stir frying together for another 2 minutes.
3. Peel apart a few pieces of cabbage leaves and spoon in stir fried ingredients. Wrap the ingredients in the leaves and enjoy.
