INSTRUCTIONS
1 Preheat oven to 375° F.
2 Bring 12 cups of water and one teaspoon of salt to a boil in a large pot.
3 Separate leaves from cabbage, trimming off any tough ends and blanche in salted boiling water for 30-45 seconds. Set on paper towel to cool, then gently pat dry.
4 In a large bowl, mix the pork, rice, mushrooms, carrot, green onion, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cilantro and black pepper together.
5 Lay each blanched cabbage leaf on a flat surface and fill with meat mixture, careful to leave room around the edges so filling doesn’t fall out when folded.

7 Bake for 45 minutes, serve immediately.
