Preparation Steps

  3. In another bowl, whisk coconut milk, fish sauce, grated garlic, lime juice, broth, and curry paste until smooth.
  4. Peel away about 12 softened cabbage leaves. Fill each leaf with 2 tablespoons of filling, fold in sides, and roll tightly.
  5. Grease a pot or Dutch oven, line with cabbage scraps, arrange rolls seam-side down, and pour curry sauce over them. Simmer for 60 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, plate the rolls, and garnish with scallions. Serve warm.
