As you enrobe your filling within the cabbage leaves, roll with a tender touch, ensuring they are snug yet not overly tight, allowing room for the rice to expand gracefully as it cooks.
Allow the rolls to simmer gently, never in a hurried boil, to ensure they maintain their integrity and the flavors meld harmoniously, crafting a dish that is rich, robust, and tender to the core.
Post their simmering dance, allow your cabbage rolls a moment to rest and absorb back some of those delightful juices, ensuring each bite is a lush, flavorful embrace.
